Quickly Now: "Euphorics 101" (Trip Into Mutant Bass Mix) by Lifecycle



In the never ending search for atmospheric nourishment I give you this bleak, haunting, acidic joint with a recurring motif that conjures an innocent elderly woman calling her lost feline in the darkness to no avail; while the audience senses some horrible, impending menace looming over the entire scene by one Lifecycle:

Quickly Now: "Islands" (My Panda Shall Fly Kool '88 Mix) by Secret Diaries


This subdued gem from My Panda Shall Fly smacks of a superbly faulty percolator in that it just simmers along with restrained activity rather than bursting forth in a bubbling bath of boiling broth. Original tune by Secret Diaries:

Quickly Now: "Starch Gelatinization 2" by Merv Diddlefingers


Don't overlook this driving, joyous romp forged from the deft digits of one Merv Diddlefingers. A certain frolicking mania just kisses the intense yet intricate syncopated rhythms along with the masterfully layered introductory samples which give way to an exultant, mirth-filled melody.

Quickly Now: "Gravels (I and II)" by Valentin Stip



Copious empty warehouse reverb on a lonesome bass kick? Yes. Sprinklings of slide guitar and conga grooves with generous Rhodes chording atop percolating, almost ominous atmosphere? Also yes, with an incomprehensible vocal loop to boot. In fact there are all types of things happening in this moody, morphing concoction from Valentine Stip via Ritmico:

Quickly Now: "Nightfall on Family Mountain" by Minikon


Isn't it about time you were soothed and assuaged rather than harangued and harassed, worn down by the sandstorm-like barrage of nagging responsibilities and numbing routine? Yes, it is time to soak in the lo-fi, comforting, pseudo-symphonic pop glory of "Nightfall on Family Mountain" by one, Minikon. Thanks to Avant-Avant as always:
