^ There have been some soundtracks recently that have seemed to be download only but from playing samples have sounded great.

The approaching winter means I am revisiting this guy's music lately. I think his early (non soundtrack) music is my favorite, but lately I have been going to sleep to Free The Mind and 2016's Orphee and it's been very, very nice.
In general I think I prefer when his music incorporates electronic elements more prominently, and I don't just say that because I am a recently recovering reflexive hater of orchestral-sounds-as-orchestral-sounds (by which I mean that like a lot of people a lifetime of Hollywood crap prevented me from differentiating / enjoying any *classical music until only about five years ago)

Am sure I've missed some other JJ releases recently, too.

Oh, "Blind Massage" and "Shadow Play" on Chinese label Soundtrack Magazine. Anyone heard?

Just checked - they are on Spotify.

Enjoying "Blind Massage", in particular.

In the time that I have taken to decide I should buy them, they have sold out, obviously.
