Still can't. Still got music.

Another fun pandemic distributed collaboration. This one lacks the very high polish of the previous one but it's still an amusing attempt to re-create the feel of the original. I suspect your opinion of this will depend on your relationship to the original, which for me is a nice piece of youthful nostalgia. Godzilla!

OK back to more standard DrWeX fare. This is a really lovely, ethereal-opening vocal trance piece from BT and Emma Hewitt. "No Warning Lights" is fun because it holds Hewitt's vocal sounds while building a complex urgent EDM melody around it. Like so many of these tracks I feel this one is way too short (2:39). I'm assuming we'll get an extended mix before too long.

If you like Hewitt's voice and want a wide array of things she's done, you can hit the second link, which is almost two hours of her work. I found that good background play, and might highlight a bit or two at some point.

I wish I could remember where I got this one, but it's dated March of this year, which I'm pretty sure was a decade ago. The song caught my ear in part because of the gentle vocals and in part because it has some really unusual time-signature shifts. My ear isn't good enough to catch them all but I respect what Frase is doing here. I have a marker to check out more of his things, which might still happen.

This one I'm pretty sure came from a Tim Ferris recommendation. I've been reading a couple of his newsletters lately and his Five Bullet Friday often has a thing he's listening to. He (like me) tends to like non-American instruments and melodies done with or over EDM influences. Here someone going by Unders has a nice 8-minute instrumental track called "Syria". This is the Satori remix. The fact that this thing has almost 50 million views and I've never heard of either of them just makes me painfully aware of how much music there is in the world that I know nothing about. One of the values of the Ferris newsletters is they often deliver me things I didn't know and appreciate learning about. Like this.

As long as we're getting back to DrWex basics, how about we close this one with some soulful, dirty funk? "Tribute" has it all, including some bell horn about 2 minutes in that makes me sway and that leads so beautifully into the guitar segment I can't even.
