Vangelis
Some scores accompany a film. This one defines it. I’ve listened to Vangelis’s Blade Runner soundtrack more times than I’ve seen the movie—and that film is one of my all-time favorites. That’s how iconic this music is.
A haunting blend of synth, atmosphere, and emotion, the score paints its own dystopian dreamscape—equal parts melancholy and wonder. It doesn’t just echo the film’s noir future—it is the noir future.
This isn’t just a soundtrack. It’s a portal. Blade Runner remains my favorite film score of all time. Truly stellar.

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
This is one of those albums that transcends time, an instant classic that finds its way into many a record collection. For me, it was among the first records I recognized. My parents had it, nestled in their small stack of vinyl, and the cover alone left an impression—sultry, playful, and unmistakably iconic. But beyond the infamous album art, there’s a groove and sophistication to Whipped Cream & Other Delights that’s captivating.
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass weave a tapestry of catchy, breezy tunes that feel like the essence of 60s cool. Tracks like "A Taste of Honey" and "Whipped Cream" showcase the effortless charm of Alpert’s trumpet, giving each song a sense of fun that still feels fresh. It’s a feel-good record, one that combines jazz flair with pop accessibility, and no matter where or when you hear it, the music has a way of brightening the room.
This album doesn’t just sound like an era; it defines it, inviting listeners to step into a world that’s equal parts classy and carefree. I love it as much today as I did when I first laid eyes—and ears—on it.
