So here it is, the Mach V musical montage of the year, an audio annual for 2010 and what a great year it's been for music, and one I've been glad to say has shown me new paths and alley ways of music to carry on persuing and sharing with you all. But as this show is well over 2 hours long I'll let the music do the talking and, with no further ado here are...
Top Ten LPs (In no particular order)
- Jonsi & Alex - Riceboy sleeps
- Verulf - Territorial
- Jonsi - Go
- LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening
- Gorillaz - Plastic Beach
- Pantha de Prince - Bohemian Forest
- Gold Panda - Lucky Shiner
- Bonobo - Black Sands
- aKido - Gamechanger
- Mount Kimbie - Crooks and Lovers
But that's not the end of it because without the eps, singles & free tracks that have made it on to my hard drive it would've been a very different year. After a couple of years almost just buying LPs I'm back buying singles and back into dance music, but not Drum and Bass, but Garage... or is it Dubstep? Or Croydon techno? Or Crackhouse? Or even Funky? Or is it Bassline? Who really knows and personally I don't really care - all I really care is that good music is still being made and that makes me exceptionally happy. I must thank a few people for being great friends, with amazing knowledge, patience and everyone of you for listening in occasionally.
