Top 37 Tracks of 2010
2. Jan. 2011, 5:36 von weejay
I don't usually write about music, because I'm not that good at it. I don't usually make lists of the best music from a year, because I seem to take a while to catch up with new music, often a good five years. This year has been different, though. I have been making more of an effort to keep up with music, and, more to the point, freakytrigger have just asked for readers to submit their top 20 tracks of the year, and I felt like joining in.
After a few weeks investigating anything I hadn't listened to yet, I've come up with a, um, top 37. The top 20 will be submitted, the other 17 are here because I like 37 tracks and it's my blog, my rules.

My personal Top 10 songs of 2010
24. Dez. 2010, 3:31 von gperaltascura
2010 was a year that I used, among different things, to discover music that I really like, and in past years I realised that the indie music scene was definitely where I had to look, so I moved apart from TV and radio and used the Internet to find music, and these songs from this list are (some of) the results.
So I'm going to start reviewing the 10 songs released this year that meant something to me, this is a purely personal top 10.
10- Orphan Boy -Some Frontier
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP8kmUGtFPw
Until 2009, Arctic Monkeys was my favourite band, I thought of them as something "under" and different, I still love them, but today I don't see them like something special. It is because there were so many bands, so many guys trying to fit somewhere but being just pulled apart by the business, and Orphan Boy is one of those not popular bands. What they think about that? Well, check their "about" page on their site and you'll know.

75. Crooks & Lovers by Mount Kimbie
http://www.electronicbeats.net/var/eb/storage/images/music/reviews/mount-kimbie-crooks-lovers/94899-1-eng-GB/Mount-Kimbie-Crooks-Lovers_header_image_review.jpg
After last year announced dubstep’s arrival on to the mainstream music scene via a succession of remixes and breakout DJ/producers, 2010 followed through with a veritable cavalcade of releases from various outfits, one of the most impressive being this tight little set from a couple of musicians hailing from Brighton. All of the genre’s darker elements as well as its most ambient can be found on ample display here, but Kimbie aren’t one-trick ponies; dovetailing between two-step garage, rustling electronica and filtered-through-a-k-hole jungle, they’ve provided a handsome calling card that should see their profile rise once they hit the road next year. A fine, promising debut.

These New Puritans - Hidden
16. Apr. 2010, 4:28 von pecusita
These New Puritans' Hidden is an album that mixes the new and the old, orchestras with dance beats, breathy spoken vocals with children's choirs, tribal drums with unusual elements, like chains, sharpening samurai swords and smashing watermelons. One could only imagine the amount of preparation and experimentation that must had been invested on this album. Never are the songs overwrought by their ambition. Some people have called it pretentious, but isn't all "art" pretentious by definition? You only get to call it pretentious if it doesn't work out in the end, which isn't the case here.
Something remarkable about the album is that it doesn't really alienate you. There are barely any traces of guitars, but enough elements of pop and hip hop to give you a good grasp and lead you throughout. Opening instrumentalTime Xone sounds more like an end credits farewell than an introduction, for a moment it makes you wonder if there any sense to it. …
