Thanks Alka! A fan of good soundtracks, and also just great sound staging. (Well, a large proportion of movie soundtracks totally suck ... but the *good* ones...) The Arrival OST is on that list for me, also from Jóhann Jóhannsson. And any sound staging and just plain weird sometimes music from David Lynch. No Country For Old Men, no music, all sound stage (smell the desert heat). A Clockwork Orange..... It is a long list.

Thanks Peter for listening! I loved the film Arrival and I think Johann Johannsson's music is incredible! There is definitely a long list of music from movies... I've only got some to play for you today :)

Anyone seen any hummingbirds around today? Yesterday I had my last two regulars still here, but today, ive only seen one, and he was just passing through, I think. Gosh these last days of summer are bittersweet...
