This year so far ...
 

What do you like in 2002, what do you hate?

hmm nothing good really stands out ... only dance music :o

Sonic Youth--Murray Street
DJ Shadow
The Eminem Show
Wilco--Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Chelsea Walls
DJ Spooky--Optometry
Beth Orton--Daybreaker

That's all I can think of for now.

Underworld - A hundred days off is cool

Soulwax 2 many djs should be owned by everyone

Sugababes - Freak Like me was the only number one i had any respect for this year

To be honest, thats all thats jumped out at me so far

best albums so far:
Sonic Youth-"Murray Street"
The Streets-"Original Pirate Material"

Best Tunes:

Sugababes-"Freak like me"
Shakedown-"At night"
LCD Soundsystem-"Losing my edge"
The Rapture-"House of jealous lovers"

I rediscovered The Blue Nile this year if that counts, I reccomend "Tinseltown in the rain" to anybody here, it's one of those songs that's hard to stick a label on.
Also the new Coldplay album sounds ok.

Soulwax - 2 Many DJs

nothing else this year stands a chance of even coming close...

shout outs for

new underworld album
cooper temple clause
the hives
the white stripes
freelance hellraiser

beck - sea change is kinda boring :hmm:
the moldy peaches album is great :BL:

Theres this great new yoik band called Interpol with a deadly rock album called turn on the bright lights

Album of the year for me so far maybe, i was supposed to see them live in the local dingy rawk cavern this week but they CANCELLED

:MAD:

Contrary to our earlier conversation about this CD, it's really grown on me over the last 2 weeks.

The latest Low "Trust" is decent.
Amon Tobin "Out From Out Where" is good.
Elvis Costello "When I Was Cruel" is great.

Thievery Corporation - The Richest Man In Babylon

I think ramona might like the second track, Facing East.. reminds me of dead can dance.

still nothing anywhere near coming close

props to the new jurassic 5 album though

LIke: (2002 releases)
Peter Murphy - Dust
Peter Gabriel - Up
David Sylvian - Camphor
David Bowie - Heathen
Bryan Ferry - Frantic
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
Frou Frou - Details
The Residents - Demons Dance Alone

(nearly all really old guys)

Hate:
Not enough room here...

i'm with ramona on frou frous’ details especially tracks hear me out, dumbing down of love and flicks (burned the whole thing plus extra stuff). 23 yo lead singer imogen heap (related to uriah?) is a bit of a cross between dolores o'riordan and björk but isn't a pain the ass yet so that's a plus. i'm getting into jai uttals' middle eastern blends and i'm always combing the trance-ambient bins for gems like the ibiza comps, dzihan kamien, funki porcini, a man called adam etc. thanks remy shand for nailing that spacey brand of smooth funk that seemed to exist only in a february 1973 parallel universe. for the night sweat sounds of ahbahnah koobah it’s gotta be beny more - try his Las Mulatas del Cha Cha Cha (Ole!) note: dance partner's a must + drink prodigious amounts of cap'n morgan/equivlent. wow, tinsletown in the rain – there’s a very cool flashback. got it on vinyl. so i've got 10s of thousands of files but only two ears. how do i fit them all in? :p

- js.

re: Peter Gabriel - Up

While it may stand out in a lackluster year, it is, imho, good but not that good. Many of the songs just seems to meander aimlessly for 6 or 7 minutes when they would have done well to end at 4. I have several friends who are also diehard Gabriel fans and they agree....one of them commented that it was almost as if Up was a soundtrack to some imaginary film.:uu:

sounds like Jim Morrison on Prozac:D

Yup...a definite Doors sound to these guys....

Attempted to d/l some of the Bryan Ferry stuff that Ramona mentioned....I found the what appeared to be all of the cd from the same user. The d/l was extraordinarily fast, but none of the songs play at all. Looks like a variation on the spoof. Dunno why these guys think this is effective against filesharing - it just makes me determined to find the songs:f:

The Notwist - Neon Golden :tu:

Stuff that rocks:
Bad Religion - Process of Belief
Angry with a great sense of fun, and Graffin's voice gets better as it gets older. Musically their tightest album. Was leaked a few months early by #ego, but not officially released until Feb 2002 ;)

Goldfinger - Open Your Eyes
Wicked melodies. Fast, punk pop music.

Weezer - Maladroit
As good as all their other albums, and better than Pinkerton :tu:

No Use for a Name - Hard Rock Bottom
More fun than a bag of monkeys :p

Stuff that sucks:
Just about everything played on the radio here.

Good singer/songwriter-type stuff:

Joseph Arthur--Redemption's Son
Jeff Tweedy and Jim O'Rourke--Loose Fur
Richard Buckner--Impasse

Can´t believe nobody mentioned THIS!
 

:tu:

and i don't give a flying fuck what eminem says

I love threads like this...

thanks, everybody, for giving me all kinds of new stuff to d/l and check out:AP:

nanook
Listen to "Sun Trust - How insensitive" maybe the best "piano" piece ever made.

theflaco

love this piece...flaco.
just hearing the flute in there.......i play the flute, btw.
now the strings.
they mixed this well with the beat in the background.
so meloncholy (sp?).
i imagine myself.....arms draped over some schmoes shoulders...feet and hips, cha-chaing, left.....right......left.
head back, eyes half open in a daze....the music completely taking me away...oh.....shit......i really just wanted to say thanks!!!!!!;) :tu:

Umm nothing has really stood out for me personally, most of the shit I've expected has really disappointed me... but the one album that stood out was Sean't Paul's Dutty Rock... JUUUST GIMME THE LIIIGHT

hmm reads like one of my mixes :/ (apart from the fucking scatman that is)

some big names missing from that list...so incase you aint heard them yet....you should check out

Underworld - 8 Ball
Leftfield - Leftism (the whole album)
Orbital - The Box or The Girl With The Sun In Her Head
Groove Armada - Goodbye Country, Hello Nightclub (the whole album)

but if you only check out one suggestion i make...then make it

Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy, Protection And Angel

and once those 3 tunes have converted you...just download all 3 massive attack albums

Aint that the Biohazard Logo, youl get some Brooklyn Hardcore bods knocking on your door :)

tops for me in 2002

weezer - maladroit

soulwax - 2 many djs

clinic - walking with thee

flaming lips - yoshimi battles the pink robot

queens of the stone age - songs for the deaf

frank black - black letter days

i'm probably forgetting a bunch...

most disapointing

beck - sea changes
the breeders - title tk

those weiners wont do chit :N:

Have to agree with you about Massive Attack. The best band in this country when it comes to capturing a beat and making it into something else. Except for that strange version of Light My Fire , did nothing for me that.

Nanook, I'm having a ball with this list of yours:tu:

...all kinds of good stuff here. I'm into New Order's Crystal at the moment. Can't believe it's been like 20 years since Blue Monday for these guys and they still rock.:W:

cool, Knife......hope u find lots u love!!!!!!!!!
my allllllllll time fav will always be "Enjoy The Silence", by Mike Koglin....so haunting....mesmerizing....lots of different sounds in there....i like that.....and that it has few words. i like to feel the music sometimes without lyrics, and they mos def did it with this song. i think this is why i like this genre of music.

i like these lists as well.......still working on LV's.



:beer: :tu:

I like Enjoy The Silence also. I really like techno/trance that uses traditional instruments in the mix. Robert Miles is a big fave of mine also. :AP:

so throw me a couple of his tunes to work with, so that i may check them out!:BL: :tu:

*edit to add*:

knife here's a couple more tunes u can check out...

Punk - Ferry Corsten
Close Cover - Minimalistic

Robert Miles:
One and One
Children
Princess Of LIght
Ever After

...all availalble in various mixes and remixes:tu:

Jeff Tweedy and Jim O'Rourke--Loose Fur (advance copy)

This is ear candy, almost like a stripped down Yankee Hotel Foxtrot meets Insignificance.

Top ten

1/"Original pirate material"-The Streets
1/ "Murray Street"-Sonic Youth
2/ "Yankee hotel foxtrot"-Wilco
3/ "Come with us"-Chemical Bros.
4/ "Title TK"-The Breeders
5/ "2 many DJ's"-Soulwax
6/ "The Eminem show"-Eminem
7/ "Lord willin'"-Clipse
8/ "Finisterre"-St. Etienne
9/ "Turn on the bright lights"-Interpol
10/ "A hundred days off"-Underworld

Disappointing-Flaming Lips, Beck, DJ Shadow, Jurassic 5

You might like Loose Fur, check it out.

Didn't like Sonic Youth + I.C.P. (no, not Insane Clown Posse)--Into the Fishtank

I thought you liked "Murray Street"....Why the change of heart?

No, I liked Murray Street very much. In the Fishtank is a different project with a trio called I.C.P. (with Hans Bennik) and The Ex, and it's an uninspiring, abstract noisefest, along the lines of the SYR stuff. It's not that i'm not fond of noise, but I don't love this.

EDIT: Wanted to add that I like the Tin Hat Trio's "The Rodeo Eroded" CD alot. It's almost carnivalesque in its feel with odd instrumentation (dobro, accordian, violin) and a vocal cameo by Willie Nelson. It's not for everyone, but if you like Tom Waits' musical style, you might like this.

I agree w/ Ramona and assorted on the Flaming Lips - yoshimi battles the pink robot

Beck - Sea Change
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

My friend is the girlfriend of the sound guy for Wilco, which makes me almost famous hehe

Re: This year so far ...
 

I don't know...I haven't listened to anything.

Had to add my list...
 

Here's a list of a few tunes that got my attention lately, though not all were necessarily released this year:

2-Raum Wohnung - 2 von Millionen von Sternen
Rosenstolz - Sternraketen
The Flames - Everytime
Telepopmusik - Breathe
Tok Tok vs. Soffy O. - Missy Queen's Gonna Die
Sigur Ros - Njosnavelin (The Nothing Song)

Enjoy,
Stoepsel

PS: Even though the first 2 songs are in German, they are well worth the download and deserve a listen. :)

Royksopp - melody a.m is nice chilled downbeat album

"Fable" is another great Robert Miles track

If you're into that shit might as well check out DJ Dado... another great "dream music" dj

okay.......i will!!!!!!!!!!!!!:W: :att: :tu: :beer:

I simply cannot keep up with you people:AP: :W: :tu: :J:
