DM Ashura - MAX FOREVER by Al-Azif

many things can be learned here. to me all the musical paydirt of mapping lies in the phrase: the rhythmic or melodic line. it's no use agonizing and digging deeper to try to express every detail (most of the time at least). it's much better to zoom out, so to speak, and make a pattern. noting where the music changes, and where it stays the same

i do think the first half is stronger than the second half. there's great stuff in the back half too but at that point it devolves mostly into spinners and long sliders. still i have no qualms calling this a masterpiece. loved this for a long time, it's just so catchy
