The Contino Sessions
Death In Vegas
Death in Vegas' 1999 record is chock full of incredibly engrossing psychedelic jams with a surprisingly mechanical twist and deeply frigid core. The psychedelia feels constantly engaging and does not ever feeling overextended within its repetitious hypnotism, leading to an album that feels simultaneously singular and underdeveloped in idea yet sprawling in execution. Wonderful.
(sorry for this blurb being a touch subpar, I'll try to do better another day. not in my bag ATM)

Amazing album with soaring vocals and a closer that was woefully recontextualized due to his passing. Rest in eternal peace.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
A Tribe Called Quest
Didn't expect any less from Tribe. Some of the absolute GOATs of Hip Hop, with the production here being particularly smooth (as is expected). I find it so fascinating how the group are able to create such slightly different albums within the same sonic backdrop each time. Super cool. Love them so much.

Hot Fuss
The Killers
It's fun! The first half is easily better than the second, containing all the true hits and memorable cuts of the record, but the second half is not nearly as weak as I expected. I think, though, that the album would have been better if the hits were interspersed throughout the tracklist rather than held all at the beginning. Would feel like a far more balanced tracklist and would, in turn, give the deep cuts more room to breathe and become fan favorites.

Dusty Springfield
Super cool Phil Spector influenced production on this and she is an absolute queen of a vocalist. Steals the show even with how underdeveloped and at times uninteresting the album can be, and makes me interested in her career trajectory past this point (since this seems to be considered one of her lesser works).

It's good! That's all I can say! It's good enough! Feels a bit like a hallmark movie in music form, but that's ok. She's got a good voice.
