I started with a list of nearly fifty albums and after spending too much time trying to put it all in some order that ultimately won't mean all that much to most people, I settled on my top ten.
- Jon Hopkins - Singularity
- Pusha T - Daytona
- Nils Frahm - All Melody
- Parquet Courts - Wide Awake!
- Earl Sweatshirt - Some Rap Songs
- Tim Hecker - Konoyo
- Aphex Twin - Collapse EP
- Young Fathers - Cocoa Sugar
- Daniel Avery - Song for Alpha
- Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Sparkle Hard

What's a list without some music? I created a mix called Melody and Distortion. You can find it on Spotify and Apple Music. It is best enjoyed as it is sequenced.
