22 comments:

  1. Great lists. I am in agreement with you all in general.

    Cameron (I think) mentioned the original mix of Plastic Star, but I think the two remixes by Sleeparchive and Alva Noto deserves to be mentioned too.

    They..

    are..

    all...

    SO

    good........................!!!!

    Probably more so for me than a lot of other people, as I have not been clubbing since September. And right now, I am dying for some aggressive, sophisticated shit like this.

    What about

    Gonno - I Don't Need Competition (Donnacha Costello Remix)

    Came out towards the end of the year, but I think I actually like it almost as much as I love Trust.

    Also... Not to be anal or anything, but I think this is from 2007. (Is that why there is a * at the end?)

    7 Dettmann / Klock – Scenario* (Ostgut)

    I say this because I actually *just* looked it up last week or so when I was trying to figure out my own best of 2008. And was disappointed that it wasn't from 2008.

    ReplyDelete
  2. yep, the * indicates the release is from december 2007. this meant it was left out of best of 2007 lists, which are normally compiled by the start of the month. both the dettmann/klock track and the hood one are bombs and deserve to be acknowledged - definitely 2 of the best i've heard in the last 12 months.

    ReplyDelete
  7. nice lists guys. please keep them coming. i'm about to open a start a list of tracks i've missed and need to check out...

    @ andrew: ok, just looked at discogs. i didnt know 'the dead bears' was released earlier on vinyl. i discovered when the CD was released in february 2008, so i think that justifies it. anyway, bomb track! i could listen to it for hours on repeat.

  9. wow, proud to see 'beehive' top all of your lists.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yeah I'm a little surprised not to see the Ander Ilar - Sworn on there too!

    Also, I had no idea that Thomas Melchior track was so acclaimed...I always like Choir a lot better on that release. maybe the flip deserves a closer listen

    ReplyDelete
  11. @ jesse: to be honest, i dont think i even listened to 'sworn' (a) because i dont listen to many albums (hence why i kept my list to a top 5) and (b) for some reason - and i dont think i have a good justification for this - i've gone off ander ilar this year.

    as for melchoir, 'choir' is undoubtedly a good track (has he made a bad one?), but it doesnt grab me in the same way. anyway, that's personal preference...

    ReplyDelete
