Pandemic presents:
To start the year off in appropriately lighthearted fashion, I took a break from juggling late night introspection and went digging in the carts for two hours of video game music. So, basically, I went back to juggling late night introspection. Oh well.
First hour is a wild mess of hip-hop, downtempo, drum ‘n’ bass, and a little bit of whatever else I got a pang of nostalgia about. Second hour is heady, more cerebral, and introspective.
Left channel didn’t work for the first six minutes, so bear with it.
