The band name is... a band name. I used the random albums feature on the AOTY website with Flashcore as one of the genres since you can do that now. Beatwife was a duo between Mark Allan and Richard Wilson, with currently Wilson handling the pseudonym apparently. I don't know much about them and it isn't worth getting into their backstory, if they even have one. This project kinda disappointed me a little, because you get these very great and working combinations genres listed here ... read more

Very awesome compilation that I joined in. Go check it out! Lots of great tracks primarily featuring drum breaks and such. Make sure to buy the album, all proceedings go to charity!

Geir Jenssen, known as Biosphere, mainly known for his arctic ambient pieces appearing pretty much a lot of the time in his discography from what I know, especially on "Substrata". He is intriguing to say the least. There's an abundance of LPs and especially reissues which is a different story. He didn't start music under Biosphere firstly, but rather E-Man, releasing the self-titled album in 1984 only on cassette before re-releasing it in 2009. After that, Jenssen became ... read more

I don't hate Drake. I have never heard his albums properly, let alone his songs. Yes I've heard Hotline Bling and God's Plan but I didn't listen to it by choice, just faded into the background. Even during the Kendrick beef I didn't really pay attention to his diss tracks, only Kendrick's. How do I feel about that beef currently as time passed? I don't care anymore. So my opinion on Drake exists but you'd take that opinion with a grain of salt because ... read more

I got nothing much to say about this. Very great EP from Ruby My Dear.

Tracks here range from good to perfect, mainly in the very great territory.
Biggest highlight: Jelly

Found this while I was looking for IDM albums on RYM since AOTY genre sorting isn't as good as RYM's and I stumbled upon this. Cover had a nice look to it and figured I would give this a shot. It's nice. Mainly mixes the cutesy and nice melodies with cold, metallic and glitchy percussion and it works out in the end. Main issue with Sonasile is that even though it sounds pretty refreshing, it could use more variety and sometimes the metallic percussion mixing with the nice ... read more

On Melancholy Hill is my nostalgia, I kept hearing this song when I was younger and it still resonates with me today. It's mainly the reason why I kinda got into Gorillaz. Beautiful track, now onto the album. Expectedly, it sounds good. Sounds like summer, driving around anywhere on a bright sunny day. Even though I prefer Demon Days over this, there are still worthwhile material in here for sure.

Tracks here range from fine to perfect, mainly on the great territory.

All ratings combined into one. If you are very curious about this very long compilation, give it a shot.

Best album: elseq 1 (95/100)
Worst album: elseq 3 (63/100)
Biggest highlight: pendulu hv moda

Right why did this one have to be way more better than the others by a margin. Every other elseq album felt either fine or good enough, others boring, but this one is special. This one doesn't even include long ambient pieces but IDM pieces that had very awesome sound design and felt very big.

Tracks here range from great to perfect, mainly on the very awesome territory.

After no albums after Compro, Skee Mask decides to drop the most titanic LP which was posted only on Bandcamp (if I recall correctly) and it's very good. Album-wise it doesn't stand to his last one, because the theme was more noticeable and consistent on Compro but even then, Pool is pretty damn consistent albeit not having a main thematic direction. The length is no joke but it didn't feel like a chore to go through at all. It's also one of the first times I've heard ... read more

I wonder if they know who Squarepusher is. This album exists, not entirely bad but feels kinda redundant. The title track is a strong start but the 10 minute Mutilation Colony doesn't make sense in this album.

Tracks here range from average to perfect, mainly on the fine territory.
Biggest highlight: "Do You Know Squarepusher"

Welcome back Boards of Canada, hope your 13-year hibernation went well. I didn't even hear the single or anything related to this album whatsoever, I wanted to be surprised by what it would sound like. I did predict that their next album would be more thematically scarier than Geogaddi.

Obviously, this album is way different sounding than their other projects, but you can say the same for The Campfire Headphase and Tomorrow's Harvest when compared to Geogaddi and Music Has the Right ... read more

Listened at the very end of 2025. How did I forget to rate this??? Anyways, out of the trilogy (In Pine Effect, Lunatic Harness and this) this one is more cool and cute. Also it has the best µ-Ziq track out of them, out of all of the albums so far really... you know which one it is!

Kinoteki is an artist that I am heavily interested currently after listening to The Visitor. This one is good, has some duds, at worst not note-worthy that much but it still can hit. I wish sometimes the kicks would actually appear more clearer and not... invisible? It's not a huge issue but it can happen. Still a fine album though.

Tracks here range from ok to perfect, mainly good.
Biggest highlight is "How to Fall Out of Love (Again and Again)"

I have heard nothing about this artist other than the fact she is signed to the same label as Burial. Unfortunately this isn't very interesting, not bad but could use more uniqueness.

Tracks here range from mid to good.

A nice collection of tracks from the scary man himself Christoph de Babalon. Kinda about what you expect if you have listened to 'If You're Into It, I'm Out of It,' though Dream Sequence is not like that at all. It's one of the most visceral tracks he has made.

Tracks here range from fine to perfect.

Wheel picked this one and I am kinda disappointed. Not bad but pretty boring at its worst moments. I can recognize that it's good but for this long? Really?

Tracks here range from very mid to fine.

Hey it's the meat of unreleased BoC tracks, one of them at least

The first plenty of tracks, Spectrum to Finity, felt like this whole thing would be crossing between only boring and good territory. No, from Forest Moon to Nova Scotia Robots it randomly got way better, like something clicked in me instantly and it's odd. I really love that half. Does feel like on that half they have improved and the other half felt like more older tunes and they were having more fun than being more ... read more

His voice DOES NOT WORK. This music DOES NOT WORK. You DON'T WORK. You're DEAD. Drift phonk makes sense but it doesn't mean it's good. No.

The wheel picked the worst elseq album proclaimed by AOTY users and I like it? The first track is VERY weird and I don't know how you rate something like this when at the end it literally transforms into a riser that you could do in FL Studio in like a minute. Funny thing is that it doesn't sound bad really, but I really don't know how to rate this. It's experimental as hell that's for sure.

Tracks range from ??? to good.
