There’s absolutely nothing comparable to the feeling of weightlessness.
Some time ago, I was watching a few works of Swiss filmmaker Georges Schwizgebel. During the 20th century, he created these brief and beautiful vignettes of short films. Cascades of color wash across the screen as abstract shapes take on appearances of trees, rooms, animals, and humanoids. The tangible feelings of his films are akin to that of dream sequences or lost memories, an endless waking daydream that ... read more

Bowing Down to Our Robotic Overlords - "Raw Data Feel" by Everything Everything
Everything Everything aren’t just anything. They really are everything, at least on their newest musical venture Raw Data Feel.
Exhibiting a tight concept about the troubling future of humankind, the record makes the listener feel like they’re on a dance floor at an apocalypse party. Everybody around you knows the dark fate of the human race, but there’s a nostalgic, bittersweet sense ... read more
Reviewing the music of Julius Eastman is a hard thing to do, let me tell ya.
There are extremely easy ways to categorize Eastman on the surface.
“Boring, too long.”
“Cool ideas here and there, but not much substance.”
“I can appreciate this, but I won’t be listening to it again.”
“Oh, a huge grouping of some sick minimalism work. Thanks for finding this!”

“Friends That Break Your Heart” Will Break Yours Too
VIDEO REVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7jWhwf9a8E
James Blake’s 2019 record “Assume Form” was the album that got me into listening to new music. It still holds quite a significance with me, being one of my favorite records of 2019, and one of my favorite albums of all time. And even then, James Blake has become one of my favorite artists as well.
Upon the announcement of his 2021 record “Friends ... read more
Low's Newest Release "Hey What" Will Leave You with a Bare Bones Sensation.
Something lays in the glitchy landscape. It’s a fuzzy, inconceivable blob of polygons, completely untouched by human sight. We know something is there, but we are so apprehensive that we become numb to the fear. Low’s “Hey What” evokes just that: an incomprehensible fear.
And yes, that was just my reaction. “Hey… what?”
Low’s last work, “Double ... read more

Hey, I hope you're doing well.
I'm making a list where, judging by AOTY user's individual top ten albums, I'm compiling a ranked community top 100. I'd love it if you could contribute by just replying with your top ten ranked from 1-10; I'm totally fine with being redirected to a ranked favourites list of sorts, if that's what you'd prefer.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and replying, if you do.
