A few days late, my apologies someone totalled my car and it’s preoccupied my mind a s you can imagine (I’m OK), so let’s get to it.

We’re still really wanting lots of recommendations - it doesn’t have to be an album you like, it can be anything (so long as its an album) - submit via [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSclwOpcoYgL7g4mzdFnA8PDPAjpDaJIY3BKUk-OPQNti4ImhQ/viewform?usp=sf_link)!

This is the sixth TMAC meeting. If you want to know more about the club visit [this page](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/the-musicbrainz-album-club-initial-recruitment-post/613313).

The album for this month is Deper than Static by Boy is Fiction, suggested by @Victini who submitted these thoughts:

> Another recommendation. I’ve noticed that I really like melodic, ambient-influenced/infused IDM, and n5MD released this a few weeks ago. if you like this, you should give Arovane’s early stuff a try, same for Proem

Thanks, I like it! It reminds me somewhat of [Dryft](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/efba70ba-fadf-4f62-ac6b-7ae73f6dfdfd), a.k.a. [Mike Cadoo](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/7bc8faba-367d-409f-a2da-0de51f1f8fc3), the founder of the [n5MD label](https://musicbrainz.org/label/e2293175-8c7b-4372-9a1d-48a086e8f91a) – if you like this, I’d recommend his 2002 [The Mytotic Exit EP](https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/593aa7ac-a022-33a3-a356-62199f6d202d) if you can find it. [Telefon Tel Aviv](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/453f1594-112e-4d3c-921a-8d14e9c97b2e)’s [Fahrenheit Fair Enough](https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/57eea8c2-ed96-3715-8fe7-f28baec1ef4c) is also a great early-2000s album in a similar style; I just noticed a few weeks ago that there was a [2016 reissue](https://musicbrainz.org/release/e71a66f8-b482-43f1-a79a-ae3033ea30f4).

Oh wow, I actually bought a Dryft album a while ago as well. Didn’t know he was the founder. Learned something new today lol.
