A Girl Called Eddy- A Girl Called Eddy
Sumptuous and lush exploration of romance, heartbreak and 60s/70s pop. If we could clone Chrissie Hynde singing Burt Bacharach, Brian Wilson, Carly Simon and Jim Webb type songs this would be the result.

I like a bit of sambass [Brazilian drum & bass], the DJ Marky & XRS album is a good example.

Max Richter- The Blue Note Books
Richters second album is a beautiful and reflective work built around Nora Swinton reading extracts from Kafka and classical influenced music .
“a protest album about Iraq, a meditation on violence – both the violence that I had personally experienced around me as a child and the violence of war …”
You'll have heard some of these pieces in soundtracks of films and TV series however the experience of listening to the whole album is so much more rewarding and almost a unique experience.
This is a later recording of The Nature of Daylight

OK yeah this sounds like the good old Molina, it's definitely not Kiss.
Let's say Thursday evening next week. And I'll go through the list on Friday evening.

The Earlies- These were the Earlies.
I first came across this track on one of those freebie CDs that you used get on music mags. The album, unusually recorded by some people in Burnley and some in the States is really good low-fi psychedelia/stoner music which reminds me in parts of a slowed down Mercury Rev ( admittedly I have only heard one album of theirs) crossed with Tranquility Base.

A crazy bulbous punchbag of sound
A series of albums that might fall through the cracks and go unmentioned in the 00s AOTY polls are the Greensleeves Rhythm albums. And that'd mean missing a decade of music from Jamaica. Running from 2000 to 2010 there were 90 Rhythm albums released in the series (17 in 2004). Eight or nine tracks on each all with the same riddim, with different MCs/DJs doing their thing on top. I guess they're compilations, but since every track has the same music they're not compilations in the traditional sense. Made for DJs (or selectors, since we're talking about Jamaican dancehall/reggae) the riddims were some of the most forward thinking music released at the time, especially in the first half of the decade. Most famous is probably 2002's Diwali riddim, being used on hits by Rihanna, Missy Elliott & Sean Paul .
VP Records also released a similar series, with 142 Riddim Driven albums between 2001 and 2010. The Greensleeves ones are generally better.
All of which is just an excuse to post Ce'cile's Hot Like We from 2004's Red Alert! because it makes me happy:

If I'd realised I'd have this much extra time, I would've got around to listening to that 65DoS album and deciding what I think of it. Does anyone want to listen to the 65DoS album, decide how good I would think it is, and then tell Knotted to count that many extra points to reflect the vote I would've given it?
I've listened to it, I don't think you'll love it. It's kinda positive and anthemic and pretty clean cut despite its glitchyness. Not sure that's you.
You can still change your vote though.
