All in all I think 2004 have been poor compared to the previous years, when it comes to new music. Fennesz, Sqp, Bola and Mark Lanegan has been my favourites, but I really didn't get that excited over anything. Is this just an old man talking, or am I right? |
||||||||

Most disappointing was the "missing" BoC-release (announced fall, 2003?), and that there was no follow-up to the new killer-arcola-12" by Brothomstate released in january. Fuck, it's almost a year ago. |

Check out "Sketchie - Rain By High Latern", one of the best releases of the year in my opinion. Some samples here, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think I've just been to lazy to seek out new music. I'm just hellbent on catching up on old stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no new Autechre either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Then this topic must be closed :P Pf: I'll check them out |
||||||||
|
|

And the releases by Buddy Peace And Zilla are some of the best shit in a long time. And MF Doom released MM Food, so it has been a good year for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think this is the first year since Incunabula, with no release. Disturbing... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Buddy Peace and Zilla, was that the remix thing that came with WarpVision? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also check from his 2004 "business card" release "Acute" i always post this.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there were at least a 100 excellent albums released this year..don't think that's too poor really.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm still broke after bying all those nice releases this year, i hope next years music is going to be very bad |
||||||||
|

Yeah, lots of good albums... just the previously 'consistent' labels seem to be releasing some off stuff. When was the last time anybody got excited about a new Warp release (not counting !!!... cause they rock hard) The secret frequency crew released an exceptional cd this year, as did o9, and the new Otto Von Scharach is by far the best thing he has ever done, and an extremely original and fun album. Venetian Snares: Chrome Cylinder Box was spectacular. Deadbeat - Something borrowed something blue was beautifull. The new loscil was great. Kid 606 - Who still kill sound. Decepticon - Lost Subject. Xela - Tangled Wood. Dom and Roland - Chronology. Jedi Mind Tricks - Legacy of Blood. Mastadon - Leviathon. Superpitcher's People was amazing (although the rest of the album fell short). Handsome Boy Modeling School - White People. Tom Waits - Real Gone. RJD2 - Since We Last Spoke. |

excellent year for drum and bass |
||||||||
|

an incredible and poignant year for any true music fan. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

every year people complain that there was no good music released this year. you are shittalkers. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
excellent year for noise |

For the last 5-6 years I have always discovered a lots of new music, and at the same time, bands/artist I like have released brilliant stuff. Because of that, at the end of the year, I have always been saying things like "OMFG this have been a good year. Even better than last year!" This is the first year I look back and are not really satisfied. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, and many times unexpectedly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
poorer than 2003, probably... and the deaths of Jhonn Balance, John Peel and ODB didn't really help... but there were some nice things nevertheless. |
||||||||
|

|

out of curiosity - approximately how many 2004 albums have you heard? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, unfortunately. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've heard more music than ever. I bought a laptop a year ago, and an Ipod this summer, so this is the first year I literally could get all the music I wanted. I have no idea how many 2004 albums I've heard. I would guess somewhere between 100 and 200. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and no good ones among those? omg, you must be hard to please :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Several good ones. I've been entertained quite well. But no albums that can compete with my favourites from the previous...let's say five years. Maybe I just appreciated music more when I actually had to buy all my records, but it's still my opinion that 2004 have been the weakest year in a long time. Where is the future classics? Where are the outstanding records? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, for me there's usually like 1-3 future classic albums per year..and this year is no exception regarding that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
care to post your list? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, list of? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Chronology is awesome. "Rhino" is quite fierce. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bad year for music.. mmmm... well, i think there isn't one year which is bad in music.... It all depends what kind of "wide" taste you have |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the new saul williams, mosdef, squarepusher, and mf doom were all very good releases, IMO. fuck, 'venus n. 17' alone made '04 worth it. also, mothboy, mad ep, and a lot of the adnoiseam stuff coming out is really fucking good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
04 year is also the year of reduced phat, a ft. lauderdale, Florida based label releasing ALL sorts of electronic music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You should listen to more music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Same here. The back catalogue of music keeps me overwhelmed, I generally don't hear a lot of 2001 releases until 2002, 2003 till 2004, yaddabobadda. The year has been superb from what I HAVE heard. What yeaar hasn't been? Every year in music has been amazing, period. |

classic 2004 albums, in your onion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Skinny Puppy and Beastie Boys were the saviours of 2004 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
beastie boys - to the 5 boroughs tom waits - real gone fantomas - delerium cordia squareousher - ultravisitor other excellent albums (on top of my list): -the arcade fire - funeral -casino vs. japan & freescha - split -excepter - ka -gang gnag dance - gang gang dance -liars - they were wrong so we drowned -loscil - first narrows -mark van hoen - the warmth inside you -matthew dear - backstroke -opto - 2nd -pan sonic - kesto -re - alms -rhythm king and her friends - i am disco -terrestre - secondary inspection -the dead texan - the dead texan -the loop orchestra - not overtly orchestral -tim hecker - mirages -pj harvey - uh huh her -triosk - moment returns -colleen - everyone alive wants answers ... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
and lets not forget all the great releases on "Ministry of sound" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oooh controversial |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not enough by far. Not enough time. I think it would have been ok if we'd heard from a couple of the a-listers but that dont mean its a bad year. I think 2005 will be a sotrmer though. New Aphex, Snares, and I reckon we may get treated to some new Autechre. |

- Juxtaposition |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There hasnt been anything that was either huge or mind blowing. But then again i would say a lot of our focus was on BOC and analord. Which (at least boc) is delayed until 2005. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I totally forgot about the Delerium Cordia... another one to the list.I don't think this has been a particularly bad year for music. Every decade, it seems the shape of music seems to change, forming near the first two years, becoming noticeable in the third and fourth year, and peaking around the seventh eighth and ninth year. Most people from the previous decade either take with the new decade, or leave it in exchange for any previous decades they seem to have taken to. Its called evolution. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i forgot many on that list :) for instance my favourite album this year (philip jeck and janek schaefer - songs for europe). and quite an analysis you made there :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Next year can be great with releases from all the "biggies" on Warp. It can also be the year when all the old daddys disappoints us. But I don't think so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, there wasn't anything "massive" IMO. Still lots of little good things- the Buddy peace and Zilla mix, Milanese - 1up, Cane - Teknotest, etc. |
