Memory keeper. Mostly music, some movies, series, video games. Obscure darkness meets pop culture glow.
Beautiful modern composition album with a post-rock and atmospheric ambient edge to it. The moment of standing at the edge of the world, looking at a calm post-apocalyptic scenery and just turning away to leave everything behind and move on.
A totally usual and casual nu-jazz album, like it’s 2004, the high times of Dzihan & Kamien, Jazzanova, Herbert et al. And !K7 still lives this era by releasing such a record in 2015.
Being someone who never really listened to Oasis (or liked it in the first place) I am most surprised to have just listened through Gallagher’s latest album from beginning to end and actually found it quite okay. For me it needs a certain mood setting but worked this time.
Stunning in terms of visuals and theme. A few things that I feel worthy to highlight:
I gathered quite a few poster art (official and fan-made) below.

Great instrumental hiphop.
Deep, melodic, thumping. An exquisite journey into your subconscious, through dark places and dreams.
I added this one to my playlist a few days ago and since then I haven’t listened to anything else just keep hitting replay. A captivating experience of deep space ambient, groaning noises and ethereal voices.
Amon Tobin himself has some things to add:
“I made these tracks a year or two ago after binge-watching space exploration films. People have, from time to time, described things I’ve done as “scores for imaginary movies,” which has always irritated me, but on this occasion it’s sort of true.
Even so, what I was really trying to do was to interpret a sense of scale, like moving towards impossibly giant objects until they occupy your whole field of vision, planets turning, or even how it can feel just looking up at night.”
So soft, so caring, embracing, music to be hold by.
Beautiful piece of art of a movie of science fiction. On the trail of the AI-lead chamber drama atmosphere of the Moon and as stunning as the well-crafted shorts that usually don’t come through any publishing house but are driven by the motivation of one exceptionally talented vfx artist. I have a true hard time believing that this could make it as a normal budget featured film.
So much not said but played out in this film and it is such a relief and reassurance that you just don’t have to say everything out loud to get. Also a lot room for interpretations or I could rather say thoughts transferred for progressing.
Some more poster versions come below.

I already noted this one before but every once in a while I return to this state of mind where The Cry of Mankind is my only and one saviour. The guitar strings resonate with my soul and the ship horns are like lighthouse beacons in the night. All of its 12 minutes are pure essence without a single note to miss.
