For my younger readers: much new music is mixed in such a way that it sounds good on tinny (and tiny) smartphone speakers, often at the expense of sound quality on better audio systems. The songs below are not. If you can, please listen to these song snippets through a good pair of wired headphones, earphones, or speakers for the best experience (it's true: wireless sounds worse). You won't want to go back once you do.

If you're "fond of sand dunes and salty air," you might find a fondness for this legendary tune. That filthy trombone sample, [recorded on a whim through a speaker with the wires swapped](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/nov/20/groove-armada-how-we-made-at-the-river-tom-findlay-andy-cato), gets me every time.

The three albums in Onra's *Chinoiseries* are a stunning collection of gritty boom-bap bangers featuring samples collected from a bundle of old vinyl records the artist collected while visiting his grandparents in Vietnam. The wistful vibe and musicality of *I Wanna Go Back* make for a chill track worth remembering.

While parts of the world with strong incense cultures enjoy the intangible cultural heritage represented by many hundreds of years of knowledge and experience in incense making, here in the west expertise is scarce—and often jealously guarded[^1]. For this reason, I have compiled here some English-language writing and resources on incense and incense making to ease the journeys of those interested in practicing this ancient art.
