Resistance is futile

My knees melting,
a pool of sweet bliss remains.

This second track from Dissociative should carry a health warning: may lead to obsessive listening. I myself succumbed, racking up well over a hundred plays within a few months in 2007. It has held up well, and still brings a smile to my face, so let me share the secret.
Paramnesic: The Night Before

Squeeze that juice

Fuzzy calm, essence
distilled. Nostalgica is
the right genre here.

I grew up with Jean-Michel Jarre as one of those odd things occasionally happening in the background. Thought nothing of it at the time. Now, all that Oxygène exposure is coming back to haunt me, and I can't stop listening to Brandon James in his Paramnesic guise. One way to explain Paramnesic is as JMJ for a newer generation, although Boards of Canada crashing into a bank of warm synths might be more accurate. This is my pick from the Dissociative album; there are other gems in there too.
