Remarkably atmospheric music. #Minimalist, #acoustic, #reflective, #melancholy, #quiet, #unsettling, #comforting, #patient, #sad – it's many things. Abandoned places, #liminal spaces and... yeah, this fits my #MusicAndArchitecture label. It figures – the composer studied architecture.

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.

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.

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 #MikePost!
