Tomes and errata

  • Nintendo — The Sound of Kirby Café -Jazz Style-

    Surprisingly well-arranged and performed versions of classic Kirby songs.

    I put this on expecting something cute, and instead got a chewy and enjoyable album.

    This led to a bit of a research rabbithole, and turns out there are Kirby Cafe(s) in Japan with exclusive Kirby merch and food.

  • GAS — November 89

    My first listen to GAS in a longtime, to this collection of recordings from 1989. Fragmentary field recordings, drone, and noises dominate the sound. This is the side of ambient music far from New Age vibes, instead rooted more in music concrete than anything else.
