Rules the Sky!!!
by Princess Gleech

This doesn't sound anything like my music... or anything else. It's pure mania distilled in chiptune form. Super fun! Starthief

Patterns of Consciousness
by caterina barbieri

The best minimal modular album of the millennium, hands down. Everything emerges from deceptively simple patterns and sounds, like a reflection of life itself. Starthief

I NO BEAST / I NO ANGEL
by DARK SPARKLER

An excellent album with the wonderfully weird Soma Lyra-8, my favorite non-modular synth. I feel like Dark Sparkler starts in a similar place to me but goes in a somewhat different direction. Starthief
