Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)

Bubbles with apprehension and anticipation. Every break from that cursive, swirling rhythmn is scintillating, whilst the violin solo on that coda is pure magic. Less than dating it, those compression effects only add to the oddity. A phenomenal ride every time.
There's a reason Marc Riley used to use it as a bed on his 6 Music show.
