Urban75 Album of the Year 1993

[marty21]

You have another 2.

I'm guessing Radiohead will feature

9 - Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Never my thing back in the day. It should have been. It should have been. Oh this is painful. I've wasted my life on the wrong music.

 

[Serge Forward]

Thanks. This one seems to have been her last, which makes it more poignant.

No she did a few after. I think her last was around 2010.

8 - Autechre - Incunabula

I'm beginning to realise that there's more techno than 2Unlimited... Glitch I guess. There's a lot going on here.

I'm going to leave the top 7 for tomorrow night. I recon at least four of them are very guessable.

Obviously gonna be Tiger Trap, Eyehategod, Born Against and Darkthrone, right?


Guessing Slowdive, KRS-One, Nirvana and Gunshot will be appearing? But then I would've guessed it'd be between Slowdive and Wu-Tang for #1 so fuck knows.

Bjork to win

Great album , but 1992 .

7 - Björk - Debut



Björk takes off in new directions and somehow manages to take the world with her.

Surprised that didn't finish higher tbh.

 

[Knotted]

Surprised that didn't finish higher tbh.

As amibtious and varied as it is, it's a bit of not-quite I think. Placed about right IMO.

 

[hitmouse]

Would've sort of expected both Melvins and Manics to have turned up by now, curious to see whether they end up joining Tiger Trap at the very top or being left behind.

6 - Slowdive - Souvlaki



Don't get this one at all. It seems popular though. At the most downbeat extreme of dream pop.

 

[Knotted]

5 - Gunshot - Patriot Games



More like a machine gun shot. Rapid fire noise loaded very Brit political hip hop.

 

[Knotted]

4 - B12 - Electro-Soma2



Ambient techno I guess. "Ambient" in the sense of "we know how to craft an electronic sonic that will make you weep".

[Knotted]

It is awesome. Never heard it before.

 

[stavros]

36 Chambers is way, way too low.

 

[Knotted]

36 Chambers is way, way too low.

It probably is, but on my first impressions T.I.M.E. and Patriot Games are better albums.

 

[DaveCinzano]

It is awesome. Never heard it before.

It felt like being stomped and punched for an hour the first time I heard it, and thirty years on so it remains

 

[Knotted]

Back in a bit. You may guess the top 3.

 

[stavros]

I'd put Incunabula above Electro-Soma, but there's another ambient-techno album I'd stick above both. I strongly suspect it won't be in the top three.

PJ, Orbital and Tribe, maybe?

 

[AverageJoe]

Orbital, Nirvana and RATM (which was 1992,but in all the 1993 lists so it might not count)

In mastermind terms that's one white.

 

[Knotted]

RATM doesn't count. 1992.

Knotted allowed me two entries as I was so late. I went with one electronic and one guitars and for the electronic I had to pick between Electro Soma and Incubabula. An almost impossible choice but I went with B12.

 

[Knotted]

By the way, somebody say something nice about Souvlaki. I feel it's the type of thing you could really get into if you're going through a dark patch.

 

[braindancer]

I absolutely love Slowdive and Souvlaki is my favorite Slowdive. That do?

 

[hitmouse]

Some Velvet Morning is pretty good but the original's better?
