Today's Listens: Episode 003

August 7th, 2023

I almost considered not doing this day in full or just resorting it to a new mini-version of this series on the side, but that was because this day was quite busy and overbearing. I had to take care of some errands and deal with a good bit of a cramp, but by the end of the day, I felt much better and wanted to write more and more about each album I listened to today. So thank the unavoidable passage of time for this one. Let's get started.

Valve Studio Orchestra – Fight Songs: The Music of Team Fortress 2 (2017)

Yes, I kicked off this day after a very busy morning by treating myself head on to a soundtrack. Better yet, the soundtrack to one of my favourite video games of all time, Team Fortress 2. Seems a bit goofy for me to do, but even as I haven't played this game for a very long time (nor have I been able to thanks to my shitty laptops), I thought it'd be worth revisiting at least one of its greatest aspects. Obviously, this is a very good soundtrack. So many cuts on here are among some of the most iconic in video game history, especially to any fan of the game itself. I also just want to say that I love the album cover too and everyone's unique but stoic looks to the camera. I don't see why you wouldn't like something like this, most of the time, so I'd definitely go for it.

7.2 / 10

Highlights: Medic!, Intruder Alert, The Calm, Faster Than a Speeding Bullet, Drunken Pipe Bomb, Right Behind You, Team Fortress 2

Cut Copy – Bright Like Neon Love (2004)

After that, I wanted to tackle this debut album from what I thought were a french house group at first. I thought they were that because I knew about this album from the one-two punch of That Was Just a Dream and Zap Zap that one of my favourite artists christtt had featured on one of his most recent mixes, plus the fact that he sampled both of them too. It was great to hear those two in context, but when it turned out that they were more focused on pretty scant electropop singing, I was not as easily invested. I still got some very good tracks out of it by the end, but maybe I had wrongly anticipated what they were capable of as a band. Still, very good album all the same.

7.4 / 10

Highlights: Time Stands Still, Going Nowhere, That Was Just a Dream, Zap Zap, Autobahn Music Box

P A T H S パス – ビ​ジ​ョ​ン​ロ​グ​: S T A I R W A Y (2017)

I had always adored what PATHS was composing in 2017. I discovered him through this short-lived ビ​ジ​ョ​ン​ロ​グ (Vision Log) series of super long tracks / mini-albums of constantly flowing, seamlessly & originally composed vaporwave material. However, when I was revisiting this second instalment STAIRWAY, I was going through a bit of a stomach cramp, so I was unfortunately far from the ripe mood to revisit this very underrated and obscure piece of music. Which is a shame because, as a result, this shrunk on me very hard. I reckon I'll come back to loving it at a better time and a better mood, but as for right now, it just wasn't the right time to vibe to it as much as I wanted to "force" myself to.

6.0 / 10

Highlights: N/A

Tim Buckley – Starsailor (1970)

Now, you'll know this particular man for being the father of one of the most legendary yet sorrowfully short-lived prodigies in music history: Jeff Buckley. But that's not to undermine Tim at all, because not only does he also have a uniquely powerful voice, but he also has his own catalogue of critically acclaimed music. Albeit, in the case of Starsailor here, it was much stranger. This album is a freak; when I heard it for the very first time years ago, I was just in complete awe of what I was hearing. But as I revisit this one, what pulls me away from it was just that these individual songs don't hold up as… songs. It's a respectable listen, but one that I'm no longer anticipating to revisit myself, nor am I dying to recommend it.

6.1 / 10

Highlights: Come Here Woman, Moulin Rouge, Song to the Siren

魚魚 & Ｆｕｔｕｒｅ░Λｑｕａｒｉｕｍｓ░ＬＴＤ – fish​​​ス​​​プ​​​リ​​​ッ​​​ト (2023)

Now, this here is a random, newly released split record from the deep, fishy corners of the vaporwave community. This came about to me as a recommendation from an obscure vaporwave review Twitter blog and I'm glad I stumbled across it and took it upon myself to bookmark it then, because this was great first listen! 魚魚's side is especially dense, enrapturing and gorgeous, but Future Aquariums Ltd. deserves some credit as well, as their music seems to be more originally composed by comparison, even if it's overall thinner in sound. This was a great slushwave (wait, sorry, "fishvapour") offering from the two and I look forward to exploring more of their catalogues. Try it out if you're curious!

7.8 / 10

L. Media – new love rhapsody (for your entertainment, no. II) (2023)

Finally, this one is a lot, but it's the sequel to L. Media's for your entertainment from back in 2021. This new one released on New Year's Day is a very heavy sound collage / broken transmission album and it overloads the senses constantly; it's even more complex and all over the place than that first album already was to begin with. I can't say it's bad at all, this was a very good listen all around, but it's just much more complicated to even comprehend, because it switches between samples constantly and leaves me having to go back a certain track or two to properly even rate this thing. Try this one out of curiosity though, because there are some great sample flips scattered all over this record! You just have to look more closely for them.

7.2 / 10

Highlights: prayer I-IV, BELL, prayer V / 90210, #wearetheworld, RAYTHEON

There you go! Another day's worth of listens, reviews and ratings in the bag, despite all the hardships to get there. I may have rushed a few details here and there to get this out, some of these are complete rewrites, some of them are messy edits, but all the same, I hope you enjoy reading these.

This cameraperson’s commitment to focusing on Hoey is so utterly relatable.

Strangers In The Wind

Listend to this album during a long drive through the desert highway of Arizona and New Mexico. A 94' white with a grey stripe chevy blazer fitted with camero wheels and a limo tint. Drove Through plateus and some rockies. I eventually stopped at a gas station in a small town where the highway passed through. Down in a valley below the rocky pass was a gas station surrounded by freshly irrigated green crops. The light was going purple as the sun was setting. The contrast of night and day along with the green veggitation juxtaposed with the desert. I filled up. Life for my machine, life for me, it was beautiful.

AllMusic Staff Pick: Cut Copy In Ghost Colours

Mix a shimmering new wave-meets-indie pop-meets-neo-disco sound that's totaly retro, but somehow quite futuristic, with a batch of heartfelt songs with really sticky melodies and the occasional teardrop and the result is one of the best albums of 2008, and one that's still pretty darn good in 2023.
