My moderately in depth review of albums from the list I sent. Anything on this is on Spotify (and the album links there) because I'm too lazy to find them elsewhere (🙇‍♂️ to Jeff for finding the ringing rocks link).

One thing to note: I listen to music regularly these days, but pretty much only when working. I generally like music with lyrics, but I can't do new music with lyrics, because it's distracting, so I mostly listen to the same things over and over.

So I decided to go through the list and listen to all the albums that seemed interesting.

Here are the ones I will listen to again:

Artist Album List description My review
Bab L’ Bluz Nayda If Motown Had Existed in North Africa... Non-english lyrics, doesn't distract me from work! I love it, very exciting
Carla Bley/Andy Sheppard/Steve Swallow Life goes on Jazz Trio No lyrics! Moderately exciting
Louise Bock Sketch for Winter VII - Abyss: For Cello Mystical Drone Music for Cello Weird cello drone, good for working, moderately exciting
Cataventos Cataventos Medieval-ish Portuguese Bagpipe Music Real weird! Pretty exciting
Chouk Bwa & The Ångstromers Vodou Alé Haitian Drumming and Singing with Touches of Electronica and Dancehall Music Pretty fun, pretty exciting
Jacob Collier Djesse Vol. 3 Experimental Pop/R&B/Electronica Pretty Exciting! Love the weird bass hits.
Horse Lords The Common Task If La Monte Young Ran a Funky Microtonal Rock Jam Band Weird! Doesn't have lyrics, and pretty exciting, but I can still work to it
Jimanica nothing but cosmos Experimental Japanese Electronica/Electropop Weird. Definitely seems to be cosmic.
Fiona Apple Fetch the Bolt Cutters Singer-Songwriter Whoah, damn this was amazing. Can't work to it, & had to listen multiple times to really get it
Bad Bunny YHLQMDLG from pitchfork I actually love reggaetón, and this bangs
Jess Ware What's Your Pleasure conjures the erotic frisson of the cruisy dancefloors we aren’t permitted to congregate on while the global pandemic rages on. Dancy. From pitchfork.
