MISCELLANEOUS REVIEWS
Below is a roughly categorised index of music I own and I've reviewed which doesn't really belong anywhere within the main artists index. These are things like one-off albums not tied to any other artist in my collection, compilations, soundtracks, artists who only interested me for a very specific period, etc. There isn't really a comfortable way to place these in the main artists index, so here they belong.
With some artists I only own the odd album or two, and that's it. These aren't artists who only ever released one or two albums, nor are these one-off side projects from acts I love - both of those can be found in the main index. These are simply random one-offs I've bought.
| 1990 - 1999 | Misc. albums from the 1990s. Includes reviews for e.g. Aphex Twin and Neutral Milk Hotel. |
| 2000 - 2009 | Misc. albums from the 2000s. Includes reviews for e.g. 1 Giant Leap, Scissor Sisters, Kylie Minogue and William Shatner. |
| 2010 - 2019 | Misc. albums from the 2010s. Includes reviews for e.g. Foster the People. |
| 2020 - 2029 | Misc. albums from the 2020s. Includes reviews for e.g. Glass Animals. |
| Best Ofs | Sometimes all I have (and all I need) is a greatest hits collection. |
Various film, TV and video game soundtracks which do not have a place anywhere within the main artists page (i.e. an artist I already like happened to make a soundtrack). A lot of these will be digital rather than physical releases, especially with games - but that's an annoyance for me, not you.
| Film | Scores for the select few films where I've really enjoyed the music. |
| Game | The largest category here - a selection of some game soundtracks I've reviewed. |
| TV | A few random TV soundtracks. |
| Sonic the Hedgehog | An entire page devoted to the fastest thing alive! |
I've accumulated some of these too over the years - and there's nothing quite like a good curated compilation.
(extra editor's note here but I will likely tweak these categories as and when I write more reviews for V/A compilations, to keep a more logical structure. Right now, enjoy these *vague* categorisations)
| New Music | Various artists collections where the artists are specifically asked to provide new music; i.e. not compilations. |
| Curated | V/A compilations released to highlight specific scenes, sounds or themes; curated selections with a concept. |
| Other | Any other various artists albums that do not fall neatly under the other two umbrellas: various compilations etc. |
