And my record of the year for 2021: New Decade. Usually when I choose a record of the year, it's quite clear to me what it should be. Not this year. I had to listen to each of the monthly picks again. Phew won out.

[FTAL] Simon James French - Soundscapes Radio - Episode twelve
https://sjfmusic.bandcamp.com/album/soundscapes-radio-episode-twelve
On this collection of three long-form ambient music tracks for radio transmission environment, SJF creates tonal hues likening him to producers on the Subvert Central forum such as Formication ("Agnosia" EP, but much lighter) and ennui (but much less spacious).
With a fractal portent that yearns for patient listens, Simon James French has produced another installment of fine musical pieces that are as harmonious as they are beguiling. See the link for more information.
