Welcome to my blog, I write about the music I like.
Together in Static is Avery’s document from a strange time and feels like a neat encapsulation of the feelings – hope, uncertainty, anticipation - shared by everyone looking forward to experiencing their next live music experience.
It’s characteristic of the album as a whole, and in fact much of µ-Ziq’s discography - that Mike Paradinas' best moments come when he plays it a bit lighter and doesn’t overcomplicate things.
With the release of his third full-length album, Bryan Müller a.k.a. Skee Mask has surely established himself as one of the leading figures at the vanguard of electronic music.
Having recently noticed the 25-year anniversaries of some classic albums, I realised just how many of my favourites were released in 1996. So here's ten of them.
