| 1 | Mare Infinitum | "Celestial Escapist" | Cryosleep | Take a three-minute pop song and add six minutes of extended coda grandeur, |
| 2 | Frozen Crown | "Call of the North" | single | or just attach it to an engine and fire the assembly into the secret abyss hidden at the Pole. |
| 3 | Hanging Garden | "The Four Winds" | single | We are the creatures of monumental impulse |
| 4 | Klaymore | "Phrygian Dominate Me" | single | or reverent regard. |
| 5 | Niovel | "First Acolyte" | Long Way From Neverland | Thus I hate superstition, but can't pretend I don't understand the appeal of the imaginary immortal. |
| 6 | Eons Enthroned | "Best Served Cold" | single | These songs overflow with it. |
| 7 | Qntal | "Mich Fing Die Minne" | IX - Time Stands Still | Songs originate in the immortal and cross over tentatively into our hearing, |
| 8 | Dark Sarah | "Invincible" | single | into our throats from a glittery space beyond us. |
| 9 | The Dark Side of the Moon | "Double Trouble / Lumos! (Hedwig´s Theme)" | Double Trouble / Lumos! (Hedwig´s Theme) +2 | Half of our legends are about these crossings |
| 10 | Ankor | "Prisoner" | single | from notional majesty into mundane reality, |
| 11 | Silver Bullet | "The Thirteen Nails" | The Thirteen Nails +1 | or the corresponding precariousness with which we remain real |
| 12 | Haunted Gods | "Threshold" | single | against the metagravitational pull of regal abstraction |
| 13 | Carmilla | "Evil" | single | and disingenuous rapture. |
| 14 | Martin Gonzalez | "From the Ground Up" | single | We begin rooted, but then we look up. |
| 15 | E-An-Na | "'colo 'mbia" | single | Point a flashlight at the stars, |
| 16 | Inchaos | "My Gallaxy" | single | and claim them, one by one. |
| 17 | ONMYO-ZA | "茨木童子" | single | But then don't be surprised when they fight back. |
| 18 | NEMOPHILA | "炎天 -ENTEN-" | Seize the Fate | The real heavens are made of gossamer emptiness strung between blazing fires |
| 19 | NEO JAPONISM | "Howl out" | single | waiting for our rising wings with eager tongues. |
| 20 | 二口魔菜 Futakuchi Mana | "大脳的なランデブー" | single | But of course this is why our grandest legends entwine themselves in peril |
| 21 | B.O.L.T | "風を抱きしめて" | Accent (Special Edition) 3 | and situate us in chaos. |
| 22 | SAISEIGA | "SPORTS" | single | This is why we see ourselves most sharply in slow motion, |
| 23 | 雨模様のソラリス | "Invisible rain" | amity | rendered weightless and equal to starlight. |
| 24 | BiSH | "ZUTTO" | ZUTTO +1 | This is why joy is transformative, |
| 25 | あるくとーーふ | "悪役のはなし" | single | or why transformation is so close to the core of our conception of joy, |
| 26 | Aimer | "rubble pile" | Deep down | no matter how earnestly we embody our limits. |
| 27 | ワッツ◎さーくる | "青の日々~springtime of life~" | single | Spend a day not dying, |
| 28 | IDOLATER | "まほうのカギを手に入れたら" | single | and then come back and tell me how you feel: |
| 29 | cana÷biss | "Hello. New Life" | Hello. New Life / Acacia 2 | not numb, not reconciled; |
| 30 | 林奈緒美 | "詩より速く" | single | rushing to say too many things in too few words; |
| 31 | Yabai T-Shirts Yasan | "hurray" | single | happy. |
| 32 | For Tracy Hyde | "Estuary" | Hotel Insomnia | We belong to interstices, |
| 33 | The Otals | "シナリオライターを撃たないで" | single | to suspension, |
| 34 | LUCY'S DRIVE | "sometime, somewhere" | single | or to the power to juxtapose |
| 35 | Della Zyr | "봄: 별은 노래한다 (Constellation’s Song)" | 모호함 속의 너 Nebulous You | certainty and allusion, |
| 36 | チョーキューメイ | "十三月の銀河" | single | and thus conjure new possibilities out of old assumptions. |
| 37 | なきごと | "PUKAPUKA" | NAKIGOTO, 3 | Take a three-minute pop song and nothing else, |
| 38 | Kaela Kimura | "MAGNETIC feat. AI" | MAGNETIC | and make it be enough. |
| 39 | anewhite | "君と月、会いたい夜に。" | single | This is how all humane cosmologies start: |
| 40 | For Tracy Hyde | "Leave The Planet" | Hotel Insomnia | here, first, before we begin to flee; |
| 41 | folca | "KOKIHANADA" | uneksia 6 | with children and flowers |
| 42 | CVLTE | "tokyo insomnia." | CHAPTER II: TOKYO INSOMNIA 5 | and machines for not sleeping; |
| 43 | Alex Wall | "otra noche más" | single | with ways of saying "wait, |
| 44 | División Minúscula | "Escombros" | single | we do not accept this end, |
| 45 | El Capitán Elefante | "Remolinos y Arenas Movedizas" | single | we will be swept away |
| 46 | Headon | "Libérate" | single | as our own form of faith"; |
| 47 | Pignoise | "MOTOR" | single | with acceleration over fear. |
| 48 | Biela | "No te vayas de mi lado" | single | Spend a day with me not dying, |
| 49 | Aiko el grupo | "Sexo Fender (Cenicero)" | single | and then make all your resignations back into decisions, |
| 50 | Manu Gavassi | "Você nasceu para mudar" | single | tentative and vulnerable to the lightest shattering touch. |
| 51 | Denise Rosenthal | "Centenas De Miles De Años" | single | All the angels look like how we see ourselves, |
| 52 | Juan Boucher | "Dans Met Gevaar" | Dans Met Gevaar +1 | all the demons look like how we feel. |
| 53 | bottomshelf | "Coward" | To See Again 4 | Our songs cannot contain their battle dance, |
| 54 | LeBrock | "Chemistry" | Chemistry +2 | and so it gets into our feet and into our fingers, |
| 55 | Softcult | "Someone2Me" | single | and we suddenly forget how to sulk. |
| 56 | The Protomen | "The Fight" | single | Maybe we never knew. |
| 57 | Ready Steady Steroids | "Stars" | single | The lights in the sky were already waiting when we crawled out of the sea, |
| 58 | Austin Gold | "Cut & Run" | single | croaking shrilly about how we need no such salt. |
| 59 | Casey Sabol | "All True Poets" | single | Those too were songs, |
| 60 | Chelsea Alley | "Camouflage" | single | and the oceans heard them and formed themselves into imitative shapes, |
| 61 | Intrepid Bloom | "No Turning Back" | single | and when we didn't return for millennia |
| 62 | Creye | "Spreading Fire" | single | they finally came looking for us. |
| 63 | Ten | "Look for the Rose" | single | By then we had machines for not seeing ourselves in our reflection, |
| 64 | Defueld | "Touch The Sky" | single | polished to our impression of a supernatural sheen, |
| 65 | A Pregnant Light | "Eating Emeralds" | Eating Emeralds / Threshold Angel 2 | as if showing the stars themselves would lure then down into our hands, |
| 66 | Breath Of Wind | "Ocean" | single | into our quenching thirst. |
| 67 | Oceanhoarse | "Carved in Stone" | Carved in Stone 5 | Half of our legends are about these doomed yearnings |
| 68 | Insomnium | "White Christ (feat. Sakis Tolis)" | single | in which we try to improvise, |
| 69 | Depravation | "War Dreams of Itself" | single | but recapitulate long-existing dreams: |
| 70 | Archierophant | "Scenes From A Mirador" | single | of witness as command; |
| 71 | Antecantamentum | "In the Green Petrichor" | Saturnine December | of cyclicality as rebirth; |
| 72 | Vitrail | "La tentation" | single | of desire as resolve. |
| 73 | Wounds of Recollection | "Leo Minor" | single | Take a three-minute pop song and fold it upon itself |
| 74 | THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID | "In Obsidian Clouds" | In Obsidian Clouds +1 | until it becomes the blade of a black sword sharp enough to cut the sky. |
| 75 | Vėlių Namai | "Alkai" | single | Half of our legends are little tricks of perspective |
| 76 | VALHYR | "Norna" | single | that make the physical seem metaphorical, |
| 77 | Eolya | "Afi" | single | or place the allegorical among us. |
| 78 | Secret Archives of the Vatican | "Scáthach In the Fortress Of Shadows" | Time Rift 4 | All of our secrets were obvious until the moment before they were hidden, |
| 79 | SKÁLD | "Då Månen Sken" | single | and in every such moment, which is every moment, |
| 80 | Shores Of Null | "Nothing Left to Burn" | single | we fan through our possessions choosing the next one to sacrifice |
| 81 | Subway To Sally | "Was ihr wollt" | single | in order to appease a god only brought into existence by the act. |
| 82 | Falabo | "Ngazikhethela Wena" | Umuzi Wakithi | We begin self-aware, but then we look up, |
| 83 | Somkhathi | "Ngipholise Baba" | Bhaka Eyakho | and self-acceptance seems premature. |
| 84 | IZINGANE ZOMA | "Ngiyesaba" | Ngiyesaba | Point all of our own names at the stars, |
| 85 | Mshebelezi | "Eyamadoda ayipheli" | Eyamadoda ayipheli | so that we are our own watchful guardians, |
| 86 | Mthandeni King Igcokama Elisha | "Zinsimbi Namaketango" | I Blow Job | already free within our confines. |
| 87 | Isinamuva Lethu | "Emadulaneni" | Emadulaneni | New language models will recapitulate old languages, |
| 88 | Maredi | "Taba Tšaka" | Mamosotho 2022: Step Sa Bobedi | because that's all our machines can give us: |
| 89 | Arsenics Mzet | "Sana Lami" | single | likenesses that converge at once on uncanny plausibility |
| 90 | Funky Qla | "Ashu" | High End 4 | and forever elusive skin, |
| 91 | Harry Shotta | "We Are Not The Same" | single | clawing at our hems for validation. |
| 92 | Stefflon Don | "Daily Duppy (Dem Dead)" | single | That is not what our ancestors went to church for, |
| 93 | Mimi Barks | "ASHES" | DEADGIRL | but it's exactly what we're left with among their ruins. |
| 94 | Dag Rosenqvist | "Ignoto" | Lexika | Take a three-line prayer and spin it out into literature and infrastructure and gloom. |

| 96 | Giuseppe Ottaviani | "With You - OnAir Mix" | Horizons [Part 3] | In this confusion we may make our escape |
| 97 | Talla 2XLC | "Stay" | single | and thus confirm our capacity to remain. |
| 98 | SMR LVE | "Where The Streets Have No Name" | single | Chaos is a canvas for order. |
| 99 | Dash Berlin | "Time After Time - Extended Mix" | Time After Time 2 | If you can allow yourself to become lost, you will find something. |
| 100 | Oakland Rain | "Stjerner i lyståge - Dikt av Ibsen" | single | A different chaos will wrap around you, |
| 101 | SZA | "F2F" | SOS | you will yearn for a different absent touch. |
| 102 | Fame on Fire | "Anti-Hero" | single | Take a three-minute pop song and remake it a hundred times and you will still be a problem, but a different problem. |
| 103 | Caleb Hyles | "good 4 u - Boyfriend vs. Girlfriend" | single | We are collectors of obsession, but we collect insatiably and thus the obsessions are as much taxonomical as they are possessive. |
| 104 | First to Eleven | "Born This Way" | single | We begin with definitions we think we know and own, but then we start looking them up, and they get away, and we chase them before we even realize that this is how we become. |
