Rarebit Nutter Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I've taken a lot of recommendations from watmm over the years from these kinds of thread. And 2021 was the first year in a very long time where I've kept somewhere close to up to date on new releases, so for what it's worth here's my list... Top pick: Gazelle Twin & NYX Drone Choir - Deep England Just the most remarkable album I've heard all year: serene, terrifying, hilarious. Can't recommend enough. Instant classic of the year: Dry Cleaning - New Long Leg Might not be a popular choice on Watmm but I love it - love the lyrics, love her voice, love the music. Other electronic releases I've listened to a lot Skee Mask - Pool Andy Stott - Never the right time Mu-ziq & Mrs Jynx - Secret Garden Darkside - Spiral Space Afrika - Honest Labour Daniel Avery - Together in Static Lone - Always Inside your Head Leon Vynehall - Rare, Forever Gacha Bakradze - Obscure Languages Loraine James - Reflection Ulrich Schnauss & Jonas Munk - Eight Fragments of an Illusion Facta - Blush Nightmares on Wax - Shout out to Freedom Moritz von Oswald Trio - Dissent Bands Clinic - Fantasy Island Spirit of the Beehive - Entertainment, Death Nation of Language - A Way Forward Pond - 9 Low - Hey What Vanishing Twin - Ooki Gekkou Damon Albarn - Nearer the Fountain... Now to go back and check out all the other amazing music I missed from this year... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 My top 20 Armand Hammer & The Alchemist - Haram Black Country, New Road - For the First Time Lice - WASTELAND: What Ails Our People Is Clear R.A.P. Ferreira - Bob's Son: R.A.P. Ferreira in the Garden Level Cafe of the Scallops Hotel R.A.P. Ferreira - The Light Emitting Diamond Cutter Scriptures Liars - The Apple Drop Failure - Wild Type Droid Helvetia - Essential Aliens Nation of Language - A Way Forward Sunken Foal - Two Moon Junction Tyler, The Creator - Call Me If You Get Lost L'Orange & Namir Blade - Imaginary Everything Spirit of the Beehive - Entertainment, Death Moin - Moot! Writing Squares - Chart for the Solution Madlib - Sound Ancestors J.R.C.G. - Ajo Sunshine Anika - Change µ-Ziq - Scurlage Darkside - Spiral Things could change, as they do. I listened to the µ-Ziq & Mrs Jynx album just this past weekend for the first time, and again this morning. It's quite good I just don't know where to put it yet. It's probably better than Scurlage but can't make that call yet. I also listened to Space Afrika's Honest Labour a couple of times late in the year and right now it's #21 but I could see that climbing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I've listened to the tunes more than anyone else on this planet hehe (preparing the release, mastering it etc...) and Fluidity's an astonishing grower of an album. A true pleasure to work with William too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
