Here’s the last part, from now on new music!!
05 A Hawk and a Hacksaw and the Hun Hangár Ensemble – Self Titled
04 High on Fire – Death Is This Communion
03 Upsilon Acrux – Galapagos Momentum
02 Marnie Stern – In Advance of the Broken Arm
01 Future of the Left – Curses

15 Battles – Mirrored (Warp Records) : Everybody’s been talking about “Mirrored” this year, and they kind of deserve it for getting their oddtimed dissonant music to find strange acclaim from mainstream circles as well as mathheads.
14 Deejay OM – Reheated Naan and Curry (Galapagos4) : A fine hybrid of Indian samples mixed with beats. Somehow liked it much more than Madlib’s take. Past

2007 was very very lucrative for new music and even a top 50 list isn’t enough to cover the noteworthy albums. I’ll publish the top 50 list now and gradually go through them in the coming days with an mp3 for every album, till the end of this year.

* Analyze photos of electronic musicians thread on ILX
* Best of 2007 lists from various European artists/selectors/djs on Alanfinkielkrautrock like Cosmo Vitelli, Piers Martin from Vice UK, Dirk from Eskimo Recordings, Pilooski, Tania from Putafranges, and Pedro from Ed Banger, also some interesting mixes.
* Best of 2007 list from Dave Allen of Gang of Four.

* Our friend Squashed from Bricolage Fantasy has beaten me in providing the latest best of list of 2006.

Ok the list is finished, but there’s so much more to be added to the list, hopefully I’ll be reviewing them in 2007. Stuff from Koop, Ornette Coleman, Dosh, 17 Pictures, Asuna, Sierpinski, Annuals, Hella, I-Z, Skream, Svalastog, The Emperor Machine, White Magic, The Plants, Fin Fang Foom, KTL, Goldmund, Johann Johannsson, ISAN, Janek Schaefer, Oxford Collapse, Paul Wirkus, Dead Meadow, Wibutee..

Well, I’m still in a hurry and can’t devote enough time to undomondo, but I don’t want to finish 2006 without mentioning all who deserve to be mentioned. I’ve got around 30 albums/bands to mention here in my list, but uploading one song for all takes some time.
