Fear And Celebration was an excellent record. But I'd argue Sophie had the better album.

I have to come to terms that I just don't care for Sophie or much of PC music honestly, I can see what they're going for but it's just not my bag. I didn't love Blood Wine/Honey but still enjoyed it enough to get my vote here.

I do want to mention that Sophie released a remix album of Oil.

Thanks Luigii. Added to my to-do list. Have you heard it yet?

Unfortunately, Oil Of Every Pearl's Un-Insides grew off me a bit upon revisiting. I still think it's a really good album, especially It's Okay To Cry, Immaterial, and the more ambient parts. I have always preferred the sugary side of bubblegum bass to the abrasive side, and this tilts heavily toward the latter, which is the main factor that hampers my enjoyment. I do appreciate how it's futuristic and otherworldly and simultaneously personal and heartfelt. SOPHIE remains one of the best producers in the game and this is a step up from Product.
In any case, easy vote for SOPHIE in this matchup, even if her record is not as stellar as I remembered.

Not yet all the way through but I would say the end of disc 2 where it is a 5 phase passage of Infatuation sounds quite compelling.

No difficulty pulling the lever for Blood Wine or Honey here.

I can't deny SOPHIE's album has a very experimental side to it but I wasn't really touched by it so I choose for Blood Wine Or Honey because of the interesting rhythms.
