Compilation 1 on NYC’s 38 is submersive with compellingly similar atmospheres:
1. C.F.G. - “Never Stop” if this track were put on repeat, one would develop and die from a crushing existential crisis.
2. Nathan Phillips - “Feet in the Flames” is much more timid, but grows in a flourishing, unique anticipation of synthetics.
3. The Life - “I Wanted To Tell You” blends the sci-fi of vocal effects with a drift that dunes a tombstone of sand.
4. Alice Cohen - “Patterns” the modern avant-pop with a straight-forward conceptual sun-gaze summer tune, contradiction is the irony in.
5. Mankind - ” Tread Water” iron on your favorite band who did that riff into the parallels of time and space, cracking fragments of

12. kj - “drypoint” it’s that point you look at while stretching to keep your balance on one foot while yawning the excess energy throughout your chi of flow, so breathe and
13. Bruce Smear - “Ozone Pulses (Digital Bonus)” just boggles my mind that it’s even on something like this.. so never fight it: FEEL ITTt!
