"Twin Peaks" is as narcotically slow as "Game of Thrones" has become hellbent and relentless.

The album is Axel Willner's fifth, following 2013's Cupid's Head, and finds him further exploring his signature blend of narcotically circular techno and somber minimalism.

The Lost Horizon Sauna would be fork in the road at which I would be lead away from narcotically influenced descent and toward deep inner truth.

Listen: "N Side," the first new song in two years from Steve Lacy — who plays in the space-soul outfit the Internet — is a narcotically mellow inversion of 1970s R&B, Jon Caramanica writes.

This year, in two narcotically addictive songs ("Work" and "Too Good"), a couple of hot videos and some are-they-or-are-they-not shtick at the MTV Video Music Awards, they were near their best together.

JON CARAMANICA The first new song in two years from Steve Lacy — who plays in the space-soul outfit the Internet and has collaborated with Blood Orange, Vampire Weekend and others — is a narcotically mellow inversion of casually strutting 1970s R&B.

Perhaps this is why wifi has stood out in an increasingly crowded field: He's synthesized the regionless, borderless world of the internet age from which he takes his name, while lacing it with a narcotically addictive flow and a distinct ear for melody that's allowed him to develop while others stagnate.

So after almost 230½ hours and two centuries' worth of singing, dancing, and jiggling; after all 224 of us had been asked to re-enact everything from the Civil War and the Oklahoma land rush to white flight to the suburbs; after a narcotically swampy rendition of "Amazing Grace" and a production of "The Mikado" that glowed in the dark because its minstrelsy might make sense if it was set on Mars; after visionary drag-queen costumes that called to mind descriptions like geisha Andrews Sister and Tiki apocalypse; after we'd stood in lines for small portions of bread and split pea soup at 18463 a.m.

Lil Jon is one of crunk's most prominent figures. Crunk music arose from Miami bass music before 1996 in the southern United States, particularly in African American strip clubs of Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis- based hip hop group Three 6 Mafia were "instrumental for the emergence of the crunk style" in the mid-to-late 1990s. Two mixtape DJs from Memphis, DJ Paul and Juicy J, started making their original music, which was distinctive with its "spare, low-BPM rhythms, simplistic chants... and narcotically repetitive, slasher-flick textures".

Eccojams Vol. 1 consists of what Lopatin calls "echo jams": sample-based, looped audio pieces which typically chop up micro-excerpts of 80s pop songs or other forms of popular music and "slow them down narcotically" with effects such as echo and pitch shifting added in a manner reminiscent of chopped and screwed styles. The album samples tracks from pop acts such as Fleetwood Mac, Toto, and Heart. Its artwork, drawing on crude graphical aesthetics from the 1980s, incorporates fragments of cover art for the Mega Drive and Mega-CD versions of the video game Ecco the Dolphin.

The singer is pictured in two visually different love affairs. In the first, Del Rey is shown clinging to a younger, long-haired blond, leather-clad man on a beach, where she narcotically flits around the Pacific Ocean shorefront, and splashes in its waves with him. At the 1:20 mark, the song and its visuals simultaneously switch up, with the singer being pictured donning diamond jewelry, sitting alongside a more mature and svengali-type man who wears sunglasses, as a chauffeured convertible barrels forward in slow motion. Del Rey's love interest in this segment recalls age disparity in sexual relationships, producer Robert Evans, and Scott Weiland.

" "The obscurely titled, Eccsame the Photon Band, is the Lilys' detour into spartan dream-pop," describes AllMusic, "Kurt Heasley's soft, distanced voice is ideally suited to the coldly atmospheric textures of tracks like the languorous opener "High Writer at Home" and the narcotically catchy 'The Hermit Crab', the album is still one of the Lilys' best." Producer, Rich Costey helped to create the album's iconic textures. Interviewed on the history of Eccsame by Edward Charlton of Clicky Clicky Music, Costey explains: "The drum sound was a combination of several things: the hard, open space that the live room at Studio .45 presented...and also the minimal and incredibly powerful, tasteful playing of Harry Evans.

" Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly highlighted the scene, writing, "The set pieces are narcotically pleasing, especially the Busby Berkeley-style dancing- kitchenware spectacular, 'Be Our Guest'." James Berardinelli of ReelViews coined "'Be Our Guest' ... the animated equivalent of Broadway show-stoppers, with all the energy and audacity of something choreographed by Busby Berkeley." Calling it a "wonderful musical number," Roger Ebert enthused, "'Be Our Guest' is a rollicking invitation to Belle from the castle staff, choreographed like Busby Berkeley running amok." In review of the 2011 3D re- release of Beauty and the Beast, Stephen Whitty of The Star-Ledger commented, "The illusion of depth does add more life to the enchanted housewares — particularly the 'Be Our Guest' number, with its Busby Berkeley geometrics.
