^ Good stuff. I love all the glassy feedback on Evol.

Oh yeah - It's refreshing to know music like that still exists.

hard to pick one so i’ll do three in no particular order.

A stairway to the stars The Caretaker

after listening to EATEOT by Leyland Kirby i decided i should check out his old work and this album was just so extremely good. date with an angel was easily the best work off of it in my opinion.

S k y w a v e s EP by EtheReal Media

here’s a much much newer record from i think september of this year, genuinely short and precise but calming as hell. excellent use of distortion effects.

[lust] by rei harakami

easily one of my favourite albums ever, this one. it’s playful yet deeply introspective. The intro track long time is masterful, and makes the entire album what it is.

all of these albums can be found on Bandcamp and Youtube

Bold aren’t 2020 releases

I was pleasantly surprised how good this release was, since Roach has been a little samey since the early 90's. But the reason this is good becomes apparant when you read up on it over at Bandcamp: he dug up these cuts from his early 80's dustbin that never saw a proper release, then he dusted them off for the rest of us to hear.

In any case, beautiful ambient from the early 80's given new life in 2020. Wonder what else he's got hidden away. It's available from Bandcamp at any price you want too, which is nice.

City High Fantasy by Sangam & Pixelord

https://hyperboloid.bandcamp.com/alb...y-high-fantasy

Percussive ambient / ambient

The beats are effective and non-intrusive. The music is smooth and chillaxed.

Of This World by Electric Sound Bath

https://moonglyph.bandcamp.com/album/of-this-world

New age. Really cool sound effects.

Alice in Wonderland by Nahre Sol

https://nahresol.bandcamp.com/album/alice-in-wonderland

Original neo-classical piano compositions. A little bit too conservative but still enjoyable.

Melenas - Dias Raros

I've been listening to this one a lot lately. Mostly while I work because its pretty chill. They're a synth rock / kind of poppy indie band from Spain. I actually liked their 2017 album better. That one is more punchy / hooky / faster tempos. This one is reverby, has more atmosphere, and slower tempos (most of the tracks). It's more introspective sounding overall. Couple of tracks from the album below if you want to check it out.

Man, Roc Marciano's Mt. Marci goes retardedly hard.
