My journey to listen to every record I have continues!

Dr. Pete Larson: Field Drift 2 (2023, Bandcamp)
For some reason I thought this was going to be field recordings but it’s actually minimalist electronic music. I think it’s pretty great. It was created by Dr. Pete Larson, a local musician in Ann Arbor. I got this one for free when I bought a different record and got this as an unexpected bonus.

Various Artists: Dropchord sountrack (2013, Bandcamp)
Soundtrack for a now unavailable game. I remember enjoying the game and this is a nice soundtrack that fits it. It’s just a solid compilation of noisy, danceable electronic music with maybe a small dubstep influence to it as well since it was published in 2013.

Mint Mile: Roughrider (2024, Bandcamp)
The latest and best (imo) album by them. Tim Midyett’s (most famous for Silkworm) current band. I think they’re great

The Fall: The Frenz Experiment (1988, YouTube)
I don’t actually have that many The Fall records and this was a pickup I got about half a year ago. I really enjoyed this one. The reviews for this one were positive but I saw one or two that think the band went on autopilot for this one. I can maybe see that for one or two of the songs but it also has some of their most well known songs like Victoria and Hit the North, two of my favorites.

Various Artists, produced by Space Quest Historian: King’s Chill Vol. 2 (2021, Bandcamp)
A collection of chill and electronic covers (remixes?) of songs from the King’s Quest series. To be honest, I don’t actually know a lot of songs on this one that well since a lot are from KQ 5 and 8, which I haven’t played in a long time, but I still think it’s pretty great.

Mary Timony: Untame the Tiger (2024, Bandcamp)
I really only know Mary’s stuff in her heavier rock bands like Ex Hex, Wild Flag, and Helium but the songwriting in here is excellent. I’ve have one of her solo albums from 20 years ago, but even that has a very different sound. This almost has more of a country sound in parts. I think it’s cool that all of her bands and solo work are all under the Rock genre but still have very different sounds.
