Pinned Review

Lingua Ignota - SINNER GET READY
92
I just wanna preface this review by saying that the midsection and second half of “MAN IS LIKE A SPRING FLOWER” is one of the most breathtaking pieces of music I’ve heard all year. It builds into this crescendo of dark bliss over the course of 7 minutes and it’s an absolute treat to experience!!

Lingua Ignota is no stranger to unconventional styles of self-expression. Her quasi-religious and almost macabre style of Neoclassical Darkwave is something that’s truly ... read more

Ennio Morricone - Once Upon a Time in America
94
One of the best film scores you can find out there. The grandiose use of both strings and woodwinds make for an extremely emotionally potent piece of music.

The movie is also a timeless masterpiece from what I hear ;)

山下達郎 [Tatsuro Yamashita] - For You

Billy Joel - Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)
97

90
That was the quickest 30 minutes of my life. This record is so wonderful and nice to listen to that it’s hardly even a chore.

Im finding more and more that Pharoah Sanders is truly one of the great musicians of his era. Everything I have played so far by the man is near being goddamn perfect.

Chihei Hatakeyama - Void XIV
81
A really wonderful and overlooked collection of ambient at atmospheric cuts. This thing is air tight from front to back. Really enjoyed this one! :)
