bryface international music concern Insanely ambitious, complex and hard-hitting in a way that no other ZX-Spectrum has ever been, in recent OR distant memory. But forget about the chip for a second: from a purely compositional standpoint, this is absolutely some of Seajeff's best ever work - what a thoroughly expansive progrock adventure. Favorite track: Changes.

Frash Pikass Seajeff at his best! I really love how organic, various, full and multilayered this is. As I expected, the chip is often crying out loud, while hugging you with bass riffs and heart-warming arpeggios at the same time. It's like drinking hot chocolate on a rainy winter night.
Kudos go to all the artists involved in the collab/remix tracks too. I especially liked Shnabubula's crazy piano and Miette's take on Lovers, which tackles the never enough seen combo between sweet chips and female voices. Favorite track: Lovers.

That One Fruckert Absolutely stellar album. Moves through a gamut of feelings seamlessly. Great guest tracks, too, they help give good songs even more depth. Favorite track: Killustrated.
