Jon Hopkins returns with a typically immersive mix of emotional ambience that acts as a midpoint between the approaches of his last two albums Singularity and Music For Psychedelic Therapy.

The last regular request on my current Patreon schedule (which is NOT reopened yet, btw) is for a small-time but well-polished experimental outfit who for their sophomore record in 2022 attempted to flirt more with pop structures in a way that ended up working against their core appeal and getting monotonous.

Its time for me to catch up on a legend among 2000s synth-pop outfits, also by request to talk about their 2006 album which I respect a lot and especially stands out for its still-precient lyrics and social commentary, although sonically... doesnt really do it for me that much?

For this Halloween, its time to go over to the world of witches and wizardry to discuss a DJ Sabrina album I skipped over in 2021 and see how much I was missing out. I also heard the rest of the DJ Sabrina catalog and will be giving my brief thoughts on that too!
