[mwgdrwg]

This is the 21st century, instant gratification, we scroll to the moneyshot.

 

[clandestino]

Even with the descriptions, I haven't the faintest idea what some of these sound like. Great work! I'm intrigued...

Where's the "Urban 75's best album cover chosen from the albums in Urban 75's album of the year thread" thread?

I'd vote Goat Music, so far. Carter Tutti Void is good, but messes my eyes up too much.

 

[TruXta]

No sense of the dynamics of pleasure you two

Impulse control is for liberals and losers.

 

[rutabowa]

only heard Goat. it is a bit flimsy in my opinion. i don't really like music though.

 

[cliche guevara]

Not a single one of my nominations yet. Maybe I should stop listening to kids music.

The only one of mine that I think has any hope is Fiona Apple, but I couldn't blame people for not bothering to type it out.

[TruXta]

Actually I lie, I have heard an album from this list, namely #31.

 

[belboid]

10 Robert Hood - Motor Nighttime World 3

Lush, ethereal and cinematic. Which might well be cos it was inspired by a film…by an old chum of Jeff Mills.

 

[belboid]

9 Mala - Mala in Cuba

The dubstep pioneer was challenged by Gilles Peterson to mix soundsystem culture with the traditional melodies and instruments of Cuban music, so off he went. And this is what came out of it.

 

[belboid]

8 Grimes - Visions

It’s this year’s kooky canuck.

 

[belboid]

7 Godspeed! You Black Emperor - Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend!

The first album by the reformed Godspeed! Makes it seem like they were never away. Modestly magnificent indeed.

 

[belboid]

6 Chromatics - Kill For Love

The fourth album by some yankee electrodudes. It has a nice cover

 

[belboid]

Here we go then, the Top 5.

As always....predictions please...

 

[souljacker]

8 Grimes - Visions

It’s this year’s kooky canuck.

Hooray! One I've actually heard!

 

[danny la rouge]

Here we go then, the Top 5.

As always....predictions please...

Scott Walker!

 

[killer b]

swans for number 1, scott for number 2. cant see any of my other albums that haven't already been listed making the top 5 tbh

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Here we go then, the Top 5.

As always....predictions please...

I assume Swans will win, people were banging on about their gigs as if Jesus himself had appeared on stage or something.

 

[TruXta]

Swans are shit.

 

[killer b]

you are.

 

[TruXta]

you are.

Doesn't make them less shit.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I'd never heard of them until recently.
