Underworld: Glam Bucket
One listen. This song does tension well. Seems like it doesn’t at first, but as it progresses it becomes more obvious. Not sure I got that across, but I got a lot of words that cover the song well out, … Continue reading

Zuntata: Network
One listen. I feel like I completely misread the track. It’s from a game I used to play a lot, but it has been a long time since I last touched it and I don’t remember where some things play. … Continue reading
King Crimson: Sartori in Tangier
One listen. I don’t think I had much of anything for this one. I like what I wrote, but I also feel it drags. King Crimson’s “Sartori in Tangier” is from Beat. I hope you enjoy. — A sort of … Continue reading
Hitoshi Sakimoto: Eruyt Village
One listen. Heard this song for the first time in a while a few days ago. Onto the list of things I wanted to write about very soon after. Threw myself in and I think I got a little stuck, … Continue reading

Ksenia Fedorova: Wave VII
I wanted to write about a song but I didn’t want to do an artist I was too familiar with so I looked for one I hadn’t spent much time listening to, and I’m not sure if it worked out. … Continue reading

Jesu: Pity / Piety
I wrote the draft roughly a week-and-a-half ago over one listen, mostly to see if I could. I’m fairly certain I paused a few times here and there just to give me time to work out what I was trying … Continue reading

Principles of Geometry: Ize
One listen for this one and it felt like it went by slowly. I tried to stick to just describing the song and I think I succeeded with that. I didn’t go in with the idea of focusing on just … Continue reading
