Happy Face 29 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 I find that's the the mid-point of these threads. What they always turn into is people moaning that they haven't heard of most of the bands mentioned. As if that's the fault of the people who have. They aren't made up. The whole point of "Best of" lists is to share. Youtube them. You might like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Make it 51 Decemberists album has leaked Hope it's good. I've been disapointed pretty much accross the board with all of the new stuff from my favourite bands this year. TV On The Radio's new one is better than their last but still a bit off the two before that. New Porno's is canny but not up to their best. Liars, Beck and Tune Yards are about the only ones who I've really thought ws up with their better stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Some of them already have won album of the year awards. Just about all of them feature in the tip 50s at the nme, guardian, moji, uncut etc Its not pretentious anymore than saying film if the year might be something like Mr Turner rather than Transformers 4, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Already have done, mostly as a way to keep track of everything myself. There's a couple of songs I've liked from albums I haven't like Ray Lamongtane and Phantogram that may be more to other people's tastes. 2014 Primer Has that worked?

ChezGiven 0 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 War on Drugs Sun Kil Moon Run the Jewels 2 Aphex Twin Real Estate I think Benji is a thing of beauty and will top a lot of lists. It's an absorbing listen and manages to make melancholy uplifting. The War on Drugs is not everyone's cup of tea apparently but I love it. Think that will be there or thereabouts on most lists too. Not kept up with a lot of releases in the second half of the year but RTJ 2 and Aphex Twin have managed to listen to a lot. Both great examples of their genres. Overall, listened to a lot of good tracks off average albums this year. Great albums are a rarity nowadays as artists just don't make the effort anymore. A lot of electronic artists make very good albums but they just don't have wide appeal. The new Andy Stott, Leon Vynehall, Francis Harris etc are great listens but only if you like that sort of thing. The 5 albums listed above however, for me should appeal to a broad audience and deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34625 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I've made a playlist with those albums minus the War or Drugs cos I've already approved that recommendation earlier in the year. Probably worth me mentioning that you're on a yellow card for Lone - Reality Testing. Picked it at random from your earlier list and nearly tore my ears off to make it stop.

ChezGiven 0 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 That Lone album was approved by the 'Toontastic electronica committee' but like most stuff in that genre, it might not be to everyone's taste. Depends on what you are looking for. Electronic music that evokes dark nights chewing my own face off in the corner of a dancefloor floats my boat. Not that the Lone album does that particularly. Aphex Twin does at times. The Sun Kil Moon album only really makes sense when you listen to it all. Its a proper album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34625 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I've started with that one (Sun Kil Moon). Enjoying it so far. The Toontastic Electronica Committee aka the 90s Drug Casualties Crew need to recalibrate cos that thing was fucking horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
