    by Steven Jones & Logan Sky
  5. Echo Drama
    by Ductape
    The Unknown The Unknown
    Deep-flanged bass immediately pulled me into “The Unknown” and the percussive backbeat hooks kept me in suspense for the remainder of the slipstreaming jet stream of the song. Dashes of trebly guitar to contrast with that tar pit bass forming a concentrated bolus of energy that simply wouldn’t quit.

  9. Silhouettes
    by Yama Uba
    Facade Facade
    First listen and “Disappear” sported monolithic drum machine beats caressed by lowing roars of bass. A few bars further in and the guitar descended as if from heaven and anointed our ears with a golden tone that seemed as if John McGeoch was still treading this earth. It was at this point that I was all in on the heretofore unknown pleasures of Yama Uba.

  10. Typical London Weather
    by Jan Linton & Logan Sky
  11. Rosemary (Uncompressed Version)
    by Jan Linton
  12. Equilibrium
    by Fluid Japan
    The compulsive drum programming; shot through with sizzling cymbal hits that never let up, established the urgent framework that the song was built upon. The contrast between the frantic percussion and the placid drone chords of the synths and the chorused vocals of Todd Lewis intoning the title, encapsulated the carefully balanced tensions of the song.

  13. So Far Away (feat. Baz Warne)
    by Department S
    The twin guitars of Dave Thompson with Baz Warne leaned hard into soaring widescreen melody with Thompson giving up the cinematic textural chords as Warne brought it home with the vivid solo in the climax.

  14. Two Heads - Single
    by YACHT
    Listening to this on earbuds revealed what sounded like a binaural soundfield that really took our ears places; leading me to wonder if the “two heads” referenced in the lyric wasn’t actually a binaural dummy head! I cite Hilary’s “Kinetic” as a signpost and I'm also detecting a lot of Lene Lovich musical DNA from songs like “Lucky Number” and “Blue Hotel.” Full review here: postpunkmonk.com/2023/10/02/new-yacht-single-two-heads-makes-deep-dive-into-new-wave-aesthetics/
  15. OK! Have It Your Way (Single)
    by The Blow Monkeys
  16. Skylab
    by The Metamorph
    Flesh & Steel Flesh & Steel
    Abrupt rhythm which felt like a slap in the face was prominent from the first second of “Flesh + Steel.” High-hat programming and swooping synths carved out the low and high frequency turns in the song while the midrange was diminished for heightened contrast. Tantalizing interjections of curdled synth bass only served to heighten my ardor for this song. Full review here: postpunkmonk.com/2023/09/25/the-metamorph-returns/
  17. Goodbye Motorbike Guy (remix -single)
    by The Countess of Fife
    The twangier album mix has had 30 sec. shaved from it to tighten it up for more impact. The urgency that was injected into the formerly leisurely pace was brought into sharper focus. Taking the deep cut decisively into the single spotlight. The acoustic guitars have been brought down in the mix with the electrics gaining the upper ground.

  18. This Intensity
    by Steven Jones & Logan Sky
    This Intensity (Extended Remix) This Intensity (Extended Remix)
    “This Intensity” showed the band getting back to their roots. Just voice, and synths. Mr. Jones was riding the synth riffage on it with ease as he contemplated tearing the Veil of Maya away from his eyes. He ventured into his falsetto zone for the chorus as shards of synth and beatbox from Mr. Sky shook the foundations of the song.

  19. All of His Reactions
    by Fluid Japan
    A mixture of synths and drum machine with vocal samples for a vibe similar to what Bill Nelson was exploring in his Orchestra Arcana albums of the mid-80s. Only this sounded even richer.

  20. Always the Last to Dream
    by Jan Linton
    The overall vibe of the song perhaps called back to the warmth of John Foxx’s “Golden Section” period. Though the two block chord hook actually reminded me of the one in Midge Ure’s “Call Of The Wild!” Giving the song a driving euphoria carried aloft by the choral patches.
