 The dripping of water. The singing of birds. The whisper of the wind. Acoustic ingredients that compose the mosaic of "Substrata."

 Biosphere skillfully articulates each piece, often seeing an evolution (if not a proper variation) of the starting materials.

Substrata marks a pivotal moment in Jenssen's musical evolution from his Bel Canto days. Dive into Biosphere's Substrata and experience a timeless ambient journey of natural sounds and evolving electronic landscapes.

 The acting of the three protagonists generally hovers around the 'barely tolerable' in the moments of pause or reflection.

 A film that tastes like nothing. To be avoided.

David Brooks' ATM attempts to scare but falls flat due to poor acting, a laughable screenplay, and a lack of genuine tension. The protagonist’s continuous bad luck adds unintentional humor but does not save the film. The movie fails to deliver suspense, action, or a meaningful plot twist, resulting in a forgotten and disappointing horror film. Discover why ATM fails as a horror film – read the full review and see if you dare watch it!

 Music that soothes the soul with its gentleness, while it also disturbs it by preventing it from taking off as it would like.

 We are simply faced with an artist who knew how to create a style capable of being different from any other and able to continually renew itself.

 But of Paul, the one who played with those four from Liverpool, who can warm and transport immense yearning audiences, who wrote tracks like Drive My Car or Got to Get You into My Life, what happened to him?

 His rock flair is absent as well as his (unique) voice. He sounds like my grandfather humming in the shower not to disturb the neighbors.

The reviewer appreciates Paul McCartney's legacy but finds 'Kisses On The Bottom' lacking in energy and memorable qualities. The album is described as too mellow and overly sweet, straying far from the rock flair and voice that fans admire. While well-produced, it fails to invite re-listening and feels like a missed opportunity for the legendary artist. Despite these criticisms, McCartney's status as a musical icon remains undisputed. Discover the detailed review of Paul McCartney's mellow album and decide if it’s worth your listen!

 "Money & Cigarettes, almost 30 years later, can rightly be considered the only great Clapton work of the Eighties."

 A crescendo of strings accompanies the synth which maneuvers through phrases that are short and fleeting but sufficiently captivating to remain etched in the mind.

Romance 76 marks Peter Baumann's first solo album and follows Tangerine Dream's shift to more melodic and accessible electronic music in 1976.

 The fact that the album is perfectly split in half attests to this climate of separation.

 I have all the respect for Spiritualized, but they simply can’t hold a candle to the Astronauts.

Recurring is the final Spacemen 3 album, released amid personal and creative separations between Peter Kember and Jason Pierce. The album is distinctly split, with each half reflecting their individual styles and influences. It captures the early 90s acid house and psychedelic scene while illustrating the band's decline.
