A very pure album that makes me genuinely happy at every listen.

A masterwork of pop music, with endlessly fun songs, from beginning to end.

I don’t know if listeners at the time knew what was to come.

I’m happy for all the people who had the chance to witness the evolution of Björk’s craft throughout the years.

Aja feels like a celebration of the art that is music. It's not looking to be the most advanced music, but rather a case in point of musicians coming together to reach perfection.

The essential soundtrack of eighties indie teens walking around their high school’s corridors with their walkmans, wired in.

With its ghostly vocals and tender instrumentation, Carrie & Lowell is so immersive, I almost feel like a witness of Sufjan's most significant moments. It's as if I'm watching a Super 8 film of his life.

So simple yet so magnetic... The emotions it conveys, the memories it resurfaces... I feel like this album has played such an important part in my life in such a short amount of time.

This "album that could've been" is simply additional proof that Brian Wilson is among the greatest producers of all time.

This live performance's magic lies in the sense of comfort it shares with the original album.

Timeless.

I cannot listen to this album without playing in my head the Royal Opera House performance film which brings back my childhood enlightenment buried deep.

A version that might never see the light of day despite elevating what is already a masterpiece to even more unspeakable levels. Wizardry.

At least for now we can enjoy this minutiously crafted compilation of live performances with an artwork made by a true fan that Mike should seriously consider stealing.

People often seem to forget how many experimental hip hop artists out there owe a great deal of their bursts of creativity and success to M.I.A.

A project from the 'OK Computer era' that scratches an itch.

Frou Frou's 'Details' justifiably holds its spot in the Holy Trinity of warm indietronica records, including Björk's 'Vespertine' and The Postal Service's 'Give Up'.

Consisting of smart pop hits and charming neo-soul deep cuts, 'Continuum' is an overlooked album from the 2000s singer-songwriter scene.

Easily one of the greatest pieces of American music history you'll ever find; a haunting collection of folk songs with a never-ending legacy.

'Security' becomes easier to appreciate once you realize the impact it has had on the Western pop landscape of the 80s, especially singer-songwriters Kate Bush and Paul Simon.

CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED.

The feeling of uncovering a masterpiece after endless digging is truly indescribable. Thank you Michael Gordon for this magic amalgam of Jai Paul, Prince, Bon Iver, The Blue Nile, Phil Collins, Steve Lacy, Fleetwood Mac & Dijon.

FAVORITE TRACKS: ALL.
LEAST FAVORITE TRACKS: N/A.

The appeal of this project lies in its motifs, which are also, paradoxically, its main source of criticism. With 'World of Echo', Arthur Russell became a secret catalyst for many important contemporary figures such as Phil Elverum, Ben Howard, James Blake, Björk, Archy Marshall, Justin Vernon and Kanye West to name a few.

It’s an 'onion' type of record, with layers of skin to take off at each listen, as well as a gateway drug into the mystical composer’s ... read more
