Watching the new Bond movie just reminded me what a song this is, pretty much perfect.

I've played so many tunes in the period between Boxing Day and New Year that it's difficult to properly focus my attention on just one artist, so with it being 'a whole nother year' here's a retrospective. 
So soulful and well produced, slick doesn't begin to describe this song. The bass licks and crunchy drum pattern make it.
Thundercat - lava lamp
70s sounding, almost like Paul McCartney and wings.
Super furry animals - back on a roll
"I've seen the evenings slide away." it’s odd how the lyrics perfectly describe me at the moment.
Brian eno - golden hours
I always play this at this time of year, pastoral in the first part, and then a epic yelling from Peter Gabriel at the end. It takes you on a journey. Brilliant.
Genesis - stagnation

A great song/album to transition into the new year, and summation of how I've felt these last couple months:
"No one lifts their hands
No one lifts their eyes
Justified with empty words
The party just gets better and better
I went away alone
With nothing left
But faith"

In here is a tragedy, art thou player or audience?
Be as it may, the end doth remain:
all go on only toward death.
...
There is nothing which cannot become a puppet of fate
or an onlooker, peering into the cage.

For some reason, I've been listening to Celldweller instrumentals all week, which is my preferred method, since Klayton shines more as a producer than a lyricist anyway. At least I can say I still enjoy all the bands I listened to prominently in high school, just some with a different perspective

Pioneer of the Musique Concrete experimental electronic genre of the 60s and 70s, this is a track originally composed by Pierre Henry in 1967 on the 'Messe pour le temps present' album.
The twist in this tale starts in 1997, thirty years later. Both Pierre and musician collaborator Michel Colombier decided that for the 30th anniversary they would ask some of the biggest names in Drum 'n' Bass, Techno, House and Big-Beat if they would remix the original tracks for an upcoming release.
Behind the mixing desk were among the best.
Coldcut, Fatboy Slim, William Orbit, Tek 9 & Chateau Flight were just a few who featured on the compilation.
This has to be one of my favourite albums. Hardly anyone knows this release, but if you fancy taking a gander, here's the playlist

The riff that starts building around the 2 minute mark is for some reason very nostalgic for me, even though I know I've never heard this song as a kid, and no I'm not just thinking of "Sandstorm" (fun fact: Darude actually covered this in 2015)

Nothing alleviates my anxieties like some heavy dance music

Beck - Wave
I love how echoing and distant beck seems here.
Strangely I can't quite describe this sound. A slightly odd sensation.......Solemn, yet climactic.
Also i'm a sucker for orchestral pieces.
"If I surrender. And I don’t fight this wave. I won't go under. I'll only be carried away."

Music from a very weird, borderline shitpost, platformer that took over a decade for someone to upload the full soundtrack somewhere. This particular track is more techno in style, but honestly the whole thing is worth a listen:
Also, a playthrough is worth watching too. One of the boss fights is against HAL 9000.
