I couldn't figure out how to describe the vibe I was getting, but you put it into words very neatly.

From the album *City*. Nice little *Blade Runner*-esque ambient track.

You're right, there is tiny bit of fade-out transition at the start of the next track. Starting a song with the end of the previous track is always a weird choice to me, but idk.

Album: [VR SUN](https://carbonkiller.bandcamp.com/album/vr-sun) For a very different vibe, try [I Dream, I Die, I Dream Again](https://carbonkiller.bandcamp.com/track/i-dream-i-die-i-dream-again) from the same album.

This is great! Might have to dig through their whole discography.

Sort of synthwave-y, sort of cyberpunk.

Oh absolutely. Adore was actually the album that got me into them.

I agree with both of you. I'm very fond of everything by them up through the American Gothic EP, but Mellon Collie is still kinda the peak.
I find a lot of music via internet radio (I know, I'm old school), so I thought I'd share a couple of stations you guys might like. * [Nightride.fm](https://nightride.fm/) has a number of synthwave sub-genre stations, but Datawave is probably the most space-y. They *do* have a Spacesynth channel, but I find it veers too much into dance music (EDM? Eurodance? not sure the correct genre) for my taste; YMMV. To listen to the following, you'll either need to use a separate music player, or find them on third-party radio sites. * [Soma FM](https://somafm.com/) has Synphaera (also an indie label on bandcamp), Space Station Soma, and Deep Space One (zero beat). * [Echoes of Blue Mars](http://echoesofbluemars.org/) resurrects Blue Mars and Cryosleep (zero beat), two popular stations from the 2010s.

Not plot holes, although there may be some of those that I didn't notice. It's more to do with the pacing of the investigation (trying to be vague so it doesn't ruin anything for you).
EDIT: Couldn't get spoiler tags to work, so removed that part.

I enjoyed it well enough, although I actually think season 2 is better. If you're a regular whodunnit watcher, you might be mildly disgruntled at a couple of aspects in season 1, but it's still a fairly compelling watch imo.

I mean, it's subjective, right? So far, yes, I'm enjoying it more than Glass Onion, but I'm sure there are people who loved Glass Onion that won't like Death and Other Details. Besides, it's hard to judge a whole season from just two episodes. Maybe as the season goes on, the plot twists will become ridiculous, or maybe the resolution will be mindblowing. Dunno yet.

For me, it's in the "fine" category so far: nothing I'd jump to recommend to others, but engaging enough to likely watch the whole season. It's fairly light and fluffy, but I don't find it as charming as I think it's trying to be. (For comparison, I thought Knives Out was also fine, but didn't really care for Glass Onion.)

From the album *Trick or Treat*. Really, their whole catalog is pretty great, if you like horrorsynth.

From the album *Imperium*.

Link works for me, but here's the original article. Movie is called The Day the Crown Cried.

Suits. Started out as a fluffy case-of-the-week show, devolved into a melodrama with characters that completely lost their original charms.
I mostly listen to horror/thriller series, so I'm looking for some lighter shows for before bed (working through *Batman: The Audio Adventures* right now). I'd prefer dramatized/full cast shows that don't get too complicated, with medium- to short-length episodes. Any suggestions? Thanks! ETA: Open to any genre.

Most of the album this is from is similarly space-y. A pleasant discovery!

Discovered the trailer was up last night. Excited for the new season!
If you've already listened to the series and want more, there are additional audio drama stories (sorry for the fandom link) in the same universe. The standalones and Mythos are on the soundcloud of the writer, Julian Simpson, and the Aldritch Kemp stories are on BBC Sounds as part of Limelight (you'll have to scroll through to find it).

I saw the movie first, then read the book after hearing it was different/maybe better, since aside from the bear, I found the movie fairly whelming. I ended up really enjoying the book, particularly the dream-like style. Authority, however, I found... really slow. I was intrigued by the premise, and the reveals were interesting, but the pacing was just glacial, imo, and it did away with what I'd liked about Annihilation. I did start Acceptance afterward, but was sort of over it at that point, and never finished it.

Some of this artist's stuff is more space-y sounding than others, but it's all pretty good chillwave. [their personal Bandcamp](https://euanellis.bandcamp.com/)

Despite the first book winning the 2021 SPSFC (admittedly, a much less well-known competition than the SPFBO), I almost never see the Primaterre series by S.A. Tholin mentioned. They are doorstoppers, but very well paced, imo: I inhaled the first two books. If you like space opera that manages to avoid a lot of plot tropes, give the series a try!
(Sidenote: if you're put off by the "cosmic horror" label on the first book, I recall there being a couple of mildly gory scenes, but it's mostly in the realm of "unfathomably alien" rather than trying to scare.)

Found this album recently and was pleasantly surprised! I often listen to chillwave/dreamwave as background music, but find a lot of it kinda unremarkable. This is is definitely a cut above, imo. Full album is [on bandcamp](https://ranggaelectroscope.bandcamp.com/album/drive-in-cinema-deluxe-edition).
[https://lebowski.social/](https://lebowski.social/) Popped up on /all.

Just going through tracks I'd favorited, thought this one fit here.
