AirdriftSignals Recommends: 4 Electronic Albums You Should Listen To

 4 Vastly Different Electronic Albums You Should Listen To

 

Greetings my fellow listeners! If you haven't noticed by now, it's been a few months since my last article, which was for Nine Inch Noize's self-titled collab album. I have a tendency to post on this website in short creative bursts with a tightly sequenced lineup of current album reviews and classic album deep dives when the inspiration comes. I strike when the iron's hot and I give everything I can when I publish music articles. In the long gaps that follow though, I am regularly taken away on creative detours or for my own professional development. At the present time, I'm working on my biggest update ever for AirdriftSignals, which I will unveil in October...

As time passes by, there are albums that have been out for quite some time that I've wanted to recommend, or recent albums released within the past few years that I have missed for one reason or another. I like listening to them and I wanted to find a meaningful way to present them and share them and the reasons why I believe they stand out amongst the ocean of music that's available nowadays.

AirdriftSignals Recommends is something that I've been meaning to start for a while now. It is my way of grouping random music releases together and sharing my thoughts and ideas and why they are worth your time and energy.

My Tribute to Brian

I was in the midst of this album collage project with help from The Beach Boys fan community on Reddit when the sad news of Brian Wilson’s passing rocked the world on June 11, 2025, 9 days before his 83rd birthday. As fans, we all knew this day was approaching since the news of his dementia and being assigned a conservator. I had a very hard time dealing with his death that day.

My Top 100 Music Albums

After stumbling across an excellent website, Topsters, I realized I would take a crack at putting together a top-100 album list for myself. The resulting list is my top 100 albums of all time, drawn from my own personal music journey. 

Bill Laswell - Smoke + Glass & Realm of Spells Review

Bill Laswell - Smoke + Glass and Realm Of Spells Review

Having significant involvement in the creation and release in over 100 albums since the early 80s, the breadth of musical discography that bassist, producer, and record label owner, Bill Laswell has accumulated is enough to overwhelm the senses and make your head spin. Still, Laswell, an undeniable influence in the genres of world, jazz, and dub, does it again with dual collaborative releases in 2019, Smoke + Glass (with Alex Haas), and Realm of Spells (with Jah Wobble).
