Best of 2021
(albums not necessarily produced this year)
This year, I listened to lots of metal. Again. No surprise there, I guess.
But I also began branching out in some different directions. I tried some artsy electronic music: Magic Oneohtrix Point Never and Rossz Csillag Alatt Született were two of my favorites. I listened to some video game soundtracks and some musicals. And I tried listening to some older albums, like The Mantle, to better my understanding of the greatest hits.
I'd like to continue to branch out in 2022, if I can find the time. I have a feeling that it will be a very busy year...

Venetian Snares /
Rossz Csillag Alatt Született
Dagger-sharp beats mixed with high classical and ludicrous artistic posing. I changed my mind on this album completely.

Magic Oneohtrix Point Never
Artist's impression of scanning channels on the radio. If only it were this interesting.
-

Inheritance
Simple neoclassical quartet music, with an exhilarating centerpiece.
