A crazy bulbous punchbag of sound
We've had Ladytron (who absolutely, definitely weren't electroclash
) and Toktok vs Soffy O.City Rocker's Futurism comp was a definitive round up of the scene to date (but we can't vote for that). 2 Many DJs did a self released CDr As Heard On Radio Soulwax Pt. 2, but that didn't get an official release, so hardly anyone heard it, until 2003.

Ms Dynamite is an AMAZING garage MC, but for her album there's no garage at all, it's a British RnB album, smoothed down and radio friendly, seemingly aimed at turning her into commercial pop star, which it was kind of successful at. For me it was a massive let down and missed opportunity. Give her 2 step beats and massive basslines to toast over ffs.
I don't think I've ever listened to the whole thing just the singles which were slightly better than most of Liberty X's output at the time.

Same really, think Distillers will be on my list. Think Epoxies are one from around that scene that I loved when I first heard them and probably hold up quite well, synthy new wave revivalist types:

My girlfriend at the time was well into Herbaliser so I listened to this album a lot, not by choice. I liked it at the time, but have never felt the need to listen since.
It still sounds good, IMO.

oh wow yes, i really rate this so highly
the best thing they ever did and the best broken beat-jazz-funk-soul whatever album of them all IMO
incredible musicianship on it, they make it sound so easy, every track is great, no need to skip
almost certainly will get my #1 spot
sadly they never matched it

It was definitely John Darnielle's year, All Hail West Texas has its moments:
But Tallahassee has No Children:
Both albums in one year is a ridiculous output, apparently he had a third album with the Extra Glenns that I've not heard:

I didn't listen to that much in 2002 but I was living with some people who worked in one of the record shops on berwick street and they always showed me new bits and I liked the first devendra banhart album "oh me oh my". it is a bit ruined for me now as everything he did after was shite so it seems the good part was all down to it being recorded on a dictaphone rather than much to do with his decisions but at the time I would have said this was the best.

She also did this one, which came with the August copy of Musik magazine. Lots of people seemed to have it cos it was a free give away with a mag.Oh, and turns out Miss Kittin did two mix compilations that year:

If you fancy a bit of UK digi dub listening - big talent
(Netherlands not UK, but in that style)Proper space cadet dubbing
If you love dub and have never checked Twilight out I heartily recommend - and this is as up there as anything he put out

I think most people prefer Music Has the Right to Children, but for me Geogaddi is BoC's masterpiece. Absolutely perfectly album. Otherworldy, weird, and totally listenable.

Jeff Mills' At First Sight seemed like a big change for him when it came out, with it's easy going spacey techno. Twenty years and 28 albums later it doesn't stand out so much from all the arty techno he's put out since, but it remains one of his best in this style.
