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!

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.

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.
