files on phone -> headphones is my favorite these days (though I really love listening in the car too). A lot of days I'll put headphones on immediately when I get out of bed, it makes that first hour of morning so much better

obviously most people lack the analytical listening skills to properly interpret the intricacies of FM bleep-bloops

Demdike Stare - Wonderland
I just love this album so much. One of my favorites of the past several years. Those rich rough gritty beats soothe my soul

If we are going with music we actually listened to / heard in 1991 - in which case I was 5 - I have to say this
yeah I was 4 at the time myself so this is all retrospective for me. though coincidentally Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld was one of the first electronic albums I ever heard and kickstarted my interest in the genre (even though I didn't hear it til around '99)
great picks everyone, I had never heard x-101 but I'm glad I checked it out, good shit

I've been in a Biosphere mood lately and I think Microgravity might be my favorite of that year, it's such a beautiful album. It's either that or Lego Feet for me.
But there's so many other classics too - FSOL, The Orb, Plaid, LFO, Nightmares on Wax...
What do you think?

Anyone playing the Outer Wilds DLC? Holy moly.
I love the setting and lore of it, though I'm finding some parts kind of frustrating
Outer Wilds is fantastic though, such incredibly creative locations and ideas. Some of the most interesting experiences I've ever had in a game.

My mom would play Bob Marley and Elton John all the time, the first song I remember loving at a really young age was probably this

ecol4 is definitely my favorite track on the album at this point. beautiful sound design with all sorts of lovely stuff going on in the high frequencies offset by that smooth deep bass. it morphs in so many fascinating ways throughout its duration. and it's got that cool, airy, emotionally ambiguous vibe I just love.

damn this sounds great! The vibert mix seems real juicy too, can't wait to hear the full tracks.
they've been on a nice run with mixes lately, the sophie and anodyne ones were both great and sonically so different. Love to see the gold mine of the ae remix collection continue to grow

psin AM makes an excellent counterpart to M62 from Move of Ten, another jammy jam laid over/under a four-on-the-floor beat, though a more sedate one.
I like this comparison, love both of these tracks! I always enjoy when they do something really stripped down and embrace the subtlety. I was listening to MoT the other morning and was reminded how much I love nearly every second of it.

I've been so busy lately that I haven't had much time for new games, but I still fire up Slay the Spire and do a couple runs regularly. Maybe my most played game ever at this point? I have like 700 hours in it. Somehow still hasn't gotten old.
Also played through the first bit of The Witness with my Geometry students to introduce a lesson on inductive reasoning, good fun.

Started using Plex this year. Slowly moving to AIFF for downloads and rips. All on external drives connected to a Mac mini.
Home: USB out of Mac mini to iFi nano iOne DAC, and into amp.
Not Home: Plex Amp app, stream from server, or download album to device.
Plex is prone to wigging out, but I really like it. Will look at setting up a local NAS for backup.
I've used Plex a lot for playing the music stored on my PC through other devices (TV connected to living room sound system, phone + headphones, etc), and yeah I like it, works well for the most part. Good for movies and shows too, although I don't store those digitally as much these days.
I still use folders of mp3s/flacs organized by Artist and Album, played in Winamp. Same setup I've been using since the early 00's lol. Only difference is that I've replaced a lot of those old low-bitrate mp3s I ripped 20 years ago with lossless versions.

Finished season 3 of Castlevania, was not expecting to get hit with some hentai in the last 2 episodes, WTF? One of the storylines was kinda wack but the rest of it was damn good. Of all the shows that are trying to capture the magic of Game of Thrones this one has come the closest for me personally. Starting season 4 now, hope the quality holds or improves.
I love this show, the writing has been so strong throughout and the action sequences are just beautiful.
I thought season 3 was a little weaker than the rest, still good overall but the pacing was sort of inconsistent. Season 4 is excellent, IMO it improves on 3 in a lot of ways.

avoid elseq imo, i think it's mostly mediocre/some just weak (but i'm in the minority here i think).
I'm also not a huge fan, I think it has a few absolute gems, but the rest is sort of hit or miss for me. I've always had trouble with the way it's mixed, everything is so dense and pushed to the front, it can feel kind of claustrophobic. I like the more subtle deep-mixing style of SIGN/PLUS.
I love NTS though, that's probably my fav of the decade. The live material is all great too, but I strongly prefer the onesix sets to the 2014/15 ones, probably for similar reasons - more subtle and nuanced.

for the longest time I always pictured an intense rite of passage by some tribe deep in the jungle
last few times it's sounded like viewing a cross section of a weird, complicated machine in full swing, and then zooming in on each moving part depending where you train your gaze so to speak, but then it has that recurring crowd cheering like at a sports stadium or something. A really fun, bonkers track, man!
I totally get that ritualistic vibe from it, feels like some kind of deep hypnotic chanting. the transition into mwan from tt1pd is one of the best and weirdest moments on the sessions, it shouldn't work but somehow it's just perfect.

Still listening to this all the time, I really really love this album and it fits the mood I've been in lately better than just about anything else. It's beautiful in an emotionally ambiguous way that's really inviting. Sounds so lush on headphones too. Lots of ear candy with sounds popping around exploring the stereo space, but in a way that's subtle and doesn't detract from the softness of the mix.
