It’s time for another short music recap to keep the website looking alive. Who’s reading these? Nobody knows. Well, we do really. It’s no one!
My top artist last month was ESA (Electronic Substance Abuse), but once again Apple Music has confused them with another artist called Esa in both the Top Artists and Top Songs lists. Why hasn’t it done this in the Top Albums list? Especially when the song Like Meat (Spoiled) is on the album That Beast, which you would assume would give it the same artist. I guess we’ll never know.
Like Meat (Spoiled) came on shuffle as few times last month and it made me want to listen to the whole album, so that is how that all ties together. The Beauty of Gemini is a bit more goth, Dawn of Ashes is very aggrotech.
The other songs in the Top 3 Songs are both in the same big industrial and goth playlist as the ESA song, so I guess I listened to that playlist a lot last month.
NightCrawler is in at top artist number 2 because (I think) they had a new song out and it was good and it made me listen to a lot of their other stuff, which veers from dark synthwave to a bit metal to hard dance/drum and bass. I have to say, I don’t like the drum and bass stuff.
Epoch has got in at number 3 in the top artists because I was listening to the Paradise Killer Original Soundtrack. At first glance, Paradise Killer does not look like the sort of video game I would like to play at all because the artwork and characters are all a bit too millennial/gen Z for a man born in the early 80s. The controls were also a bit odd and took some getting used to as well. BUT… it’s a great game about being a detective solving the murders of gods and it gives you a ton of freedom to solve the case as you wish based on the evidence you find. It also has a cracking synthpop soundtrack.
I also listened to the soundtrack for another game – Midnight Fight Express – for about the millionth time, so it’s in at album number 3.
