Listening Diary 20250120

Not much yesterday, I was busy and really shouldn't have looked at the news.

• Xylander - Happy New Dystopia! - @xylander@mastodon.social https://xylander.bandcamp.com/album/happy-new-dystopia: New and aptly if unconsciously timed from Xylander, rattly but understated breakbeats, lush but brooding synths and found voices that form a soundtrack to the horrors of well, about now.
• Brickwall Unlimited inc - Boomtastic -@dereisenhofer@metalhead.club https://brickwallunlimitedinc.bandcamp.com/track/boomtastic - Lovely no frills bit of old skool acid
• Vernal Ecosphere - Finite Planetary Possibilities - https://vernalecosphere.bandcamp.com/album/finite-planetary-possibilities From Getmusic, Conceptual Berlin school inspired sequencer ambience with expressive percussion, a soundscape on a galactic scale. A great looking cover too.
