 Tekken is a series of video games that packs a punch and has faithfully accompanied the Playstation over the years.

 The final boss is excessively difficult and frustrating, not to mention the campaign mode, which over time becomes monotonous.

 The peak of the album, however, is undoubtedly 'Canvas', a true masterpiece without half measures.

 There is not a beat out of place, a sound that shouldn’t be there, too much vocal warbling, and, precisely for this reason, rather than soar, sometimes the tracks seem, despite their beauty, static and lacking that delicious taste of uncertainty.

Imogen Heap's Ellipse is a well-crafted album showcasing her unique style between electronic and singer-songwriter traditions. While perfectly produced, some tracks feel overly polished and static compared to her previous work. Highlights include the standout song 'Canvas' and emotive piano pieces.
