Penny Hitch/Soft Machine

The slow groove through most of this 3-part suite. Jenkins' songwriting never ceases to amaze.
  

King Of Pain/The Police

The melody in the verse, the mood change in the chorus, the tight rhythm and keyboard track, the guitar playing the verse melody in the bridge, and the resolved outro. A lesson in perfect songwriting.

Great Albums (Lovers EP Part II/Timecop1983)

Year: 2017

If you're in the mood for some serious synthwave, this EP will hook you from start to end. Each of the seven songs strikes with deadly consistency, simultaneously lifting you up and pulling you down, like breaking up with someone while eating your favorite ice cream. I don't know what the deal is with this genre, except that I can't get enough of it. Whatever you're doing Timecop1983, it's working.

Personal Picks: "Girl" and "Falling Apart"

I Dreamt We Spoke Again/Death Cab for Cutie

Gloriously produced track. If the opening song is this good, I can't wait for the rest of the album.

Ripples.../Genesis

Rutherford's 12-string guitar and Banks' piano effortlessly coalesce in this glorious track off their '76 album, A Trick of the Tail.
