The Inevitable End is the fifth studio album by Norwegian electronic music duo Röyksopp,

Svein Berge stated the album has a "dark energy", while Robyn described the album as "sad, but it's not cold. It's very warm." Four singles were released from the album: "Monument" (T.I.E. Version), "Skulls", "Sordid Affair" and "I Had This Thing".

In September 2014, the duo announced that The Inevitable End would be their final studio album in the traditional sense, adding that they are "not going to stop making music, but the album format as such, this is the last thing from us".

Where memory meets a dream” - I think this is such an accurate way of describing the space Mirror Music occupies, and why it continues to play on a listener's subconscious turntable long after the lights on the hi-fi have dimmed.Sound 9/10 Trackingangle

As co-founder of the band Balmorhea, composer and multi-instrumentalist Michael A. Muller has been at the forefront of developments in contemporary music for nearly two decades.

The American artist’s Deutsche Grammophon solo debut album, Mirror Music, opens a new chapter in his creative career. Its sequence of ten luminous tracks, crafted in collaboration with friends and colleagues from around the world, embraces a multitude of sound colours and haunting melodic ideas.

Mr grant's sixth album is his most opulent, cinematic, luxurious record yet and confirms his status as a modern electronic auteur.

grant likens the musical flavours of 'the art of the lie' to the sumptuous vangelis soundtrack for bladerunner or the carpenters if john carpenter were also a member. while undeniably a john grant record, nestling humour into tragedy, bleeding anger into compassion, there is a musical ambition and nerve to ‘the art of the lie’ which offsets its most political and personal moments.

Hans Zimmer's score to 'Dune: Part Two' is a majestic and sweeping masterpiece, befitting one of the year's best films. Hans Zimmer is a master of contemplative and epic themes, delivering both equally here. The love themes are beautiful and tender, while the battle cries are bolder and more significant than ever, transporting you to faraway lands you want to get lost in forever.

1981 was a groundbreaking year for the music industry. By releasing BGM and Technodelic in one year, YMO made a shift happen in Pop music. YMO introduced a new way of using samples and loops by cutting sound bites into fragments and reprogramming them with newly available computer technology. Technodelic is far more experimental than previous albums, and at the same time their 5th album ismore minimalistic and full of Funk and Soul.

YMO remained remarkably adept at inventing new ways of looking at compositions and creating a whole new music scene at the same time: Dance. 180 gram audiophile vinyl 8-page booklet

Conventional wisdom has it that all the B-52's' subsequent releases are highly inferior to their debut. While Wild Planet is not the rarefied wonder their first platter is, it's still darn good. The songs here are generally faster, tighter, and punchier than previously, though production values are not as wonderfully quirky and detailed; fewer songs here are as over-the-top crazy as the first album's "Rock Lobster" or "52 Girls." These formless selections continue to exhibit a cunning mix of girl group, garage band, surf, and television theme song influences, all propelled along by an itchy dance beat. "Give Me Back My Man" allows Cindy Wilson a unique opportunity to croon a broad, expressive melodic line. Fred Schneider parades his inimitably nervous vocals on chucklesome ditties like "Quiche Lorraine" and "Strobe Light." The best songs here are "Private Idaho," a wonderfully jittery number that employs a variant on the famous melodic snippet from the Twilight Zone theme music, and "Devil in My Car," a delightfully loopy hoot that lays the craziness on very thickly. Performances and sound quality are fine.   This album is well worth hearing and recommended.

Party Out of Bounds! Eclectic Group’s Sophomore Album The Equal of Its Smash Debut Party out of bounds! Not only is this sentiment one of the B-52’s directives on their ceaselessly fun sophomore album, it’s one of the record’s hit songs, and perfectly summarizes the spirit and intent behind this new-wave classic. Completely up to task in following up their kitschy debut, the B-52’s step everything up a notch: Songwriting, humor, exaggeration, melodies, hooks, and group interplay.

Wild Planet also finds the band embracing stronger psychedelic accents that seamlessly mesh with its lava-lamp colors and textures.

What an album. Rollicking, rousing, and riotous, Wild Planet soars on vocal efforts put forth by the delightfully campy chanteuses Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson, whose innocent girly tonalities wonderfully match up with Fred Schneider’s effeminate deliveries and manic presentations. While the sheer exuberance and giddy nature of the music tends to make them an afterthought, the trio’s harmonies are utterly amazing. Add in Ricky Wilson’s propulsive beach-bound guitar riffs, random squealing synthesizers, and a surfeit of danceable rhythms, and you have nothing less than a 1980s masterpiece that, due to its optimistic vibes and buoyant grooves, only gets better with time.

As for clever humor and quirky character? Everywhere. Mentions of an icebox, fruit punch, and surprise greetings kick off the defining “Party Out of Bounds.” “Private Idaho” is an instant mix-tape essential, sent up with declamatory refrains and insouciant beats. Not to be outdone, the B-52’s tackle the subject of devilish possession on the witty “Devil In My Car” and get hysterical on “Strobe Light,” surely the finest tune ever written about making love in the shadow of a pulsating illumination device. Schneider is on fire, embracing his sexuality while pushing his mates to new limits.

There’s no serious matter here; Wild Planet is all about celebrating, and few records do a better job of capturing such a mood.
