Czarface & MF Doom – Czarface Meets Metal Face
Saschienne – Unknown
Downbeat electronic calm music, perfect for work.
Max Payne 3
First I was pissed that after one night of playing I got through to the half of the game, so it was going to be a 10 hour ride tops. And didn’t like the fact that it was basically a rail shooter with cutscenes and shootouts following directly one another.
Then in the second playing session it just clicked: the story got grimmer by the minute, the events went gruesome, Max Payne turned into a killing machine as in John McClane meets John Wick but way darker and with booze and pain killers, and I felt the rage of Doom but with the inherent feeling of the nothing-left-to-loose death wish. And then, getting close to the finale when I had to shoot my way through an airport terminal while Health’s Tears was thumping overwhelmingly in my ears, that moment made this game finally unforgettable.

Very specific concept band playing industrial metal. I love the story they tell and designs are super cool. Favorite metal album so far this year and best personal new metal find in a while.
Mamuthones – Fear On The Corner
WTF experimental-kraut-rock from Italy. Cool cover.
Teleman - Fünf EP
Not all tracks are great but Repeater is on repeat. Big beat style beat banger with an alter-indie flavor, it goes together on a playlist with Sex Beat by the Two Lone Swordsmen.
GoGo Penguin - A Humdrum Star
So, this is jazz. Although I also think this is post rock. And modern classical composition. And has some electronic music rhythm to it sometimes. Anyway this is beautiful.
Monolink & Acid Pauli - The End
Pleasant house music along the lines of feelings when Paul Kalkbrenner first hit with his Berlin Calling soundtrack.
Tzusing - 東方不敗
Super-power electro, playing for months now. I’ve listened through the whole catalogue before I finally got to posting this here. And there is no one track that’s a letdown.
The Bronx – V
Punk rock blast from down under.
