No goth whining here. Just observations on life's various pitfalls and perils, and meeting the disappointment with the kind of fire that will knock you on your ass. I love it.
Opening tune from their debut lp Talk About the Weather (released in 1985, Red Rhino)
At once both blissful and nightmarish, Visions sounds like a famous lost 80's dream pop record from a dystopian alternate universe. Countless layers upon layers of Claire Boucher's (aka Grimes) pixie-like, dynamic vocals mesh perfectly with equally thick, luscious synth beats and sounds that are as dancy as they are dreamy. It really feels like a world unto itself. The 80's almost Casio sound like production gives it an experimental edge. Icy, ethereal electropop brilliance.

36 - Trance Anthems For A Sunken Generation
"There's a cruel levity attached to the title of this album. Those wonderful, naive visions we had of the future simply never materialised. In a world that is increasingly hostile to optimism, it's easy to become lost in the murk.
'Trance Anthems For A Sunken Generation' thrives in this negative energy. It's an aggressive inversion of the usual 36 sound. Euphoric synths are torn apart. Melody becomes fractured and beaten into submission. The rush is cold; The breakdown of sound is closer to that of collapse.
How are you expected to put your hands in the air when you can't even rise from your knees?" - 36

Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo; And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out. Released in 2000, remained one of my favorite albums.
It sets a somber but reflective mood that it is nice to wallow in. Things are put into perspective, memories rise and fall
A slow starter, sleepy and melancholic, this album makes its way to the subconscious in a way few things do.
Beautiful. beautiful. beautiful. Don't let this one sneak past you.
A wonderful tune from this lovely album;

Strange Stories; my radio show on Budapest based Lahmacun radio (originally aired on Sunday, December 03, 5-6pm, CET). A wall of machine driven sounds are closing in, and you have the distinct sensation of sitting in at a strange shamanistic ritual, drift off into an ethereal wilderness, a forlorn realm of landscapes that feel at the same time as intimate as your own body sounds yet hauntingly desolate and unfamiliar

Until I Fall' by Lucinda Chua, from the EP; Antidotes 2 (released May 7, 2021,
4AD) Breathtaking tune.There's a perceptible influence of David Sylvian
What is more beautiful tonight
And bluer than the sky
I had to climb
Higher and higher

Until I fall, until I fall
Until I fall, until I fall
Until I fall, until
