Richard X - 'Richard X Presents His X-Factor Vol. 1'

Most of the album on a YouTube playlist - there's a better Richard X vs Liberty X one elsewhere though

 

[zahir]

Gillian Welch - Soul Journey

 

[chilango]

There was a decent enough NOFX album in 2003, but it's all such a step down from '93. Good nna have to work hard to get a Top 10, nevermind a Top 29.

From Sound of the Underground:

 

[zahir]

Maria Bethânia - Brasileirinho

 

[chilango]

Having said that, Molotov put out probably their best album that year...

 

[zahir]

Mísia - Canto

 

[zahir]

Katia Guerreiro - Nas Mãos do Fado

 

[hitmouse]

Good news for the Fall mafiah, Real New Fall LP (Formerly Country on the Click) arguably one of the last really great Fall albums:

 

[stavros]

Not on the original album, but this remix from Jacques Lu Cont is excellent:

 

[chilango]

Souad Massi's "Deb" is from '03 and is a cracking album.

 

[zahir]

Mariza - Fado Curvo

 

[DaveCinzano]

Maria Bethânia - Brasileirinho

Sorry, I was all with that till the singing started

 

[hitmouse]

For the Laibach mafiah, WAT came out in 2003 as well:

 

[chilango]

Bit niche, but I enjoyed this album of solo accordion covers of French Ska-punk band La Ruda Salska. I guess you had to be there though...

 

[DaveCinzano]

Goldie Looking’ Chain - ‘The Manifesto’
nb There’s no full YouTube playlist but half of the album was recycled into 2004’s major label release ‘Greatest Hits’ which has got one

 

[stavros]

Chicken-N-Beer is one of Luda's best LPs:

 

[DaveCinzano]

Chicken-N-Beer is one of Luda's best LPs:

I think I've heard of him, probably from my mum's ‘That's What I Call Music’ CD

 

[chilango]

My No.1 from 2002 - French dubsters High Tone - had a live album out in 2003. Early days, but for me this is going to be hard to beat.

 

[chilango]

Quite a lot of decent Spanish language stuff in 2003: Control Machete, Los Autenticos Decadentes, Cafe Tacuba, Kinky, Plastelina Mosh, La Mala Rodriguez etc.

 

[Spandex]

Techno!

Suburban Knight - My Sol Dark Direction



Millsart - Every Dog Has Its Day Vol 4



Fabrice Lig - Roots Of The Future

 

[hitmouse]

A Promise is another of the early Xiu Xiu albums I've never got around to checking out but probably should. Probably one of 2003's most uncomfortable album covers, anyway:

 

[zahir]

Carlinhos Brown é Carlito Marrón

 

[zahir]

Cesária Evora - Voz d'Amor

 

[Spandex]

Not on the original album, but this remix from Jacques Lu Cont is excellent:

I love the unofficial Bush-Blair mash-up video of Electric 6's Gay Bar for maximum 2003...
