Fictional album thread? No complex rules. Just upload a picture, edit it to your heart's content, give it a title and an optional tracklist. Then others try to describe what it would sound like and maybe rate. Yeah?
OK, here's mine.

Minimal techno. Very clean sound, track 2, 3 and 5 are very good. Track 7 is boring, 8 is experimental, and 9 is ambitious but a great closer.
I like this thread idea but have no content for it, so I'm just going to bump it aight?
breakbeat
Gets an 8.8 from Pitchfork. Forgotten after the end of the year. Occasionally mentioned in threads about its respective genre. 'Honestly my AOTY'
Navigator's debut instrumental album Obsidian is a fascinating deconstruction of pop music tropes that somehow manages to avoid the wonky, wacky songwriting one would hear on a track produced by the likes of SOPHIE or Arca. Instead, Obsidian takes a much more subtle, cold route; the record's tone seems clinical and almost distant at points.
Chi, the album's stark and screeching opener, seems to function more as a 'pleb filter' than anything else. It's a loud, noisy, daunting minute of notification that something awful is about to happen. But that feeling of incoming doom is immediately followed by Oregon, a bouncy but subdued alt-pop track that is very obviously influenced by one of Black Marble's nostalgia-heavy synth-pop tracks. It bears a close resemblance to Woods, without Chris Stewarts muffled baritone covering the track.
The record is full of sudden shifts in tone that ultimately lead to a very inconsistent listening experience despite almost all of the songs being comprised of the same sounds and textures.
8.8, BNM
