    Nicolas Jaar’s “Space is only noise that you can see” has become one of my favourite albums of the year. For sure some of his songs deserve being on the top of my list.

    With the additions of:

    *Cub–Keep Shelly in Athens remix
    *Beaming Husband–Geotic

    I am now satisfied with the validity of this list 😉 Shelly’s version of “Cub” is resounding and intense; in fact, I had expected to see Shelly’s remix of D.R.U.G.S. “love lust” on the list, too.

    Geotic’s nostalgic melodies transport me to carefree summers I’ve lived in other lives. (Sorry, I couldn’t be any less epic in my description. I am a big fan.)

    The blog has put out so many good things in the last week. Many thanks for the effort!

    One non-musician’s opinion but as good as “pressure” is, “escape” is the one that rings the bell for me – did you check that one out??
