Notes

When the beats to Childhood came on, it was an immediate addition. The vocal samples of children singing really add an air of warmth and charm.

Was drawn to the basslines, tones, and relaxed grooves in the tracks by SAULT.

Definitely included Energy because of arrangements on the Fender Rhodes.

Ayyuka is a Turkish psych band.

Hacia el Vacío means “Into the Void” in Spanish.

Last Night (my beloved was like the moon.)

The evening extends on Bicicleta.

Really like the deep house beats in on Nordstar and Like My Way. I definitely felt a craving for some deep house this week, and it’s sort of acting as a focus mode for me by combining the elements of repetition, hovering synthesizers, and muted basslines that create a desire to keep moving.

Indie rock/folk that do not feature guitars? That’s interesting, Robber.

A Mermaid In Lisbon is a very pleasant indie-folk tune. I am glad that I appreciate string arrangements now, and it is very stirring in this particular setting.

Miley Cyrus covered Nothing Else Matters and her vocal performance is emotive and compelling. She also sounds like Stevie Nicks. I thought the bass tone was killer, and no surprises, it was by Robert Trujillo. Lastly, I was wondering why the cello and piano arrangements were so prominent, lo and behold, they were by Yo-Yo Ma and Elton John.

Radiohead has a new song, it has a nice melody. The music video is nice and engaging too.

Enjoy the chill vibes of Aegispolis and Subcoinscient Lamentation.

Once again, Ishmael Ensemble makes it to the list. At this point I might as well put the whole album on a list.

90’s Baby is just super fun with a nod to 100% Pure Love.

Sung’ali is the evening sun on your face, and a cool breeze at your back.

The music of Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders is dimensional. What an astounding trip.
