2009 Pt.1

So here's another list to add to the already ennui inducing throng. I think it's been a great year in all manner of genres and for all kinds of reasons. Which is why a) this list spills into two posts ii) isn't really weighted in any grand way and 3) is a bit of a mess. And I haven't stretched to a write up of these because, well, we're awash with words aren't we? Here's to 2010...

Extra mentions for The Village Orchestra's I Can Hear the Sirens Singing Again, Kreng's L'Autopsie Phénoménale De Dieu and The Neck's Silverwater, all of which are too long to feature here, and for Oneohtrix Point Never and Jon Hassell - both of who's albums I've got into too late to feature here...



There Will Be Fireworks - 'Colombian Fireworks' (from There Will Be Fireworks - M*7 review here)
