  • Yeah, I bailed on the final episode because the rest was so underwhelming, and the last episode was bordering on feature length.

    It’s a shame because I’m a big fan of Charlie Brooker, I loved the earlier seasons.

    I thought Joan Is Awful was alright, but too much time was spent on the premise and the twist felt rushed. Loch Henry was good, but not the “what would happen if <insert sci-fi tech> was real” type premise that I’ve come to expect from the show. Beyond the Sea was about 40 minutes too long. Mazey Day… I have no idea what they were thinking.

    I genuinely wish I liked it more, but this is two underwhelming seasons in a row for me now 😕




  • I don’t listen to too much of the more classic prog stuff, but here are some more modern ones that you might be into:

    • Porcupine Tree (Gavin Harrison was the drummer in King Crimson)
    • The Pineapple Thief (Another Gavin Harrison band)
    • Haken (Recommend starting with The Mountain - my favourite)
    • Leprous (Older stuff has more distorted/screamed vocals, newer stuff is a lot cleaner)
    • Thank You Scientist

  • Four Tet’s unpronounceable side-project is great too. Search for: ⣎⡇ꉺლ༽இ•̛)ྀ◞ ༎ຶ ༽ৣৢ؞ৢ؞ؖ ꉺლ

    This EP is a great place to start: ooo ̟̞̝̜̙̘̗̖҉̵̴̨̧̢̡̼̻̺̹̳̲̱̰̯̮̭̬̫̪̩̦̥̤̣̠҈͈͇͉͍͎͓͔͕͖͙͚͜͢͢͢͢͢͢͢͢͢͢͢͢͢͢ͅ oʅ͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡( ؞ৢ؞ؙؖ⁽⁾˜ัิีึื์๎้็๋๊⦁0 ̟̞̝̜̙̘̗̖҉̵̴̨̧̢̡̼̻̺̹̳̲̱̰̯̮

    It’s a bit more analogue than his normal stuff? But definitely hits the “intricately crafted” mark!
