I just learned that Chris Cunningham and Aphex Twin came up with a script for a Neuromancer adaptation over twenty years ago, but dropped it when the studio wouldn't give creative control. Feeling pretty retroactively disappointed about this!

DaRand Land - Wander Being
super happy I revisited this deep house dream that dropped just about 1 year ago. lush grooves and atmosphere for days, bass goes crazy. perfect fit for Francis Harris' Scissor & Thread label. should've been on my 2024 list! darandland.bandcamp.com/album/wander...

Bamboo Data – Tone Of Water, Colors Of J-Sky
This album from Susumu Yokota, made for a Japanese cell phone release in 2000, is gorgeous. Kankyo ongaku meets deep house. sounds like the cover looks. absolutely zero copies on discogs but you can hear the album here www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXFW...

Kissom - XEXU
total brainmelter on Príncipe, one of my faves of the year. I called it a cosmic synth techno fourth world inner space kizomba adventure the first time I heard it and can't think of a better description now that it's on my turntable. essential listen.
