RETROWAVE. This is fun. There's not enough synthy retrowave in the soul/pop/disco vein. But Jay Diggs' (nothing to do with J-Diggs, the rapper, by the way) got you covered – he has a great feel for the genre.

– Slasher (from JAMS, 2021)

WAITING FOR SPRING, PT. II. If David Benoit hadn't strayed from his usual path and released this album, I might never have gotten into straight-ahead jazz. This opened up the pathway to Bill Evans – and onwards I went!

This tracks screams woolen jumpers, an open fire, and a cozy cottage to me.

Track: Waiting for Spring

FLEX-A-TONE. I keep a list of my flexatone (flex-a-tone) tracks. It's a fun metallic percussion instrument.

All of them are from the '70s – this is the only one from the '80s so far, and it only makes a guest appearance from about the 2:15 mark. I loved when incidental soundtrack music sounded like this. We need a young !

- Suspense
From "Round-Vernian Vifam", 1983
