join me in jammin' out...

i'm by no means an expert on music, but i do love it! i listen to far less now that i've moved away from using spotify, but i try my best to enjoy what i have.

CLICK ON THE CD to see my review dump or check out my mini-review section below! it took a really long time to code...

as of march 15, 2026, my recent music cravings are... synth, dungeon synth, and electronic music in general

note: i don't currently have an organizational system for this page. i plan to come back to that at a later date, when i have more reviews to share!

music for digital museums

i was very surprised to find that hakita (AKA "heaven pierce her", the musician behind the stellar, blood-pumping metal OST of ULTRAKILL) made this album.

even when my severe anxiety has me sleepless and sobbing in the dead of night, "closing time" and "the world, and so much more" are two of the very few songs which can soothe me. it brings a kind of soothing clarity with its gentle, layered melodies which bring me peace in my worst moments as it shows me that tranquility is possible. if i were to liken it to any sensation, it would be the feeling of relief as you wash your face with cool water after crying.

this album is short and sweet, but can be listened to as many times as your weary heart needs.

my format: digital
my rating: 9/10
favorite songs: S.W.A.K., blush, strut (猫 シ corp. remix)

world class

i've listened to this album countless times, honestly. anything vaporwave is a guilty pleasure of mine, but this is some of the best i know.

it's calm, sexy, and low-key. it helps me focus and is always welcome in the rotation when i'm trying to draw/write something sensual.

 cover for ACE's album 'eurobeat ace vol. 1. it's a photograph of a man leaping over the title and artist of the album, but there are vertical cuts through the image that alternate between the described image and its photo negative. musician/band: ACE
genre: eurobeat
release: 2015
my format: digital
my rating: 9/10
favorite songs: adrenaline, me and you, crazy on emotion

eurobeat ace vol. 1

this album is SOOO FUN!!! eurobeat is a genre i love to put on when i need a shot of adrenaline... no wonder i'm such a big fan of ACE's song "adrenaline"!

this album a joy to listen to, it's full of energy and very catchy. there's a lighthearted nature to it and i find it a little silly at times, but only in a good way. i didn't realize how much i loved their song "me and you" until i bought the album for myself on bandcamp. it is SO sweet, i had it stuck in my head for a few days and it'll definitely happen again.

i may not be a fan of the multiple covers/editions included in this album and i tend to skip them, but everything else is a must-listen imo!
