Amazing Music 2016

A Tribe Called Quest really went out with a bang. So good.

Seconded, this should be on the list.

Ya it was great watching that one come together. I think they even made the news performing it in front of the administration here.

• Justice - Woman
• Metallica - Hardwired...To Self-Destruct
• Moderat - Live

Sex and Politics by Cam Jenner and Jon Wood. Saw them live last night in a pub many of you who attend the summer meets are familiar with Blown away.

[The Telepathic Kid]

2 very different albums of the year for me:

Tim Hecker - Love Streams
Dinosaur Jr - Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not

Honourable mention for Teenage Fanclub's here, which is beautiful and the best thing they've done for ages.

Haven't listened to the xx or Tribe Called Quest albums yet, but I've got high hopes for both.

Burial released a new EP just a week or so ago called "Young Death / Nightmarket".

Young Death is alright, but Nightmarket is just amazing.

[Fredd-E]

• Bazart - Echo
• Bohren & Der Club of Gore - Bohren for Beginners
• Burial - Young Death & Nightmarket
• Dinosaur Jr. - Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not
• Teenage Fanclub - Here

Another album released this year I've been listening to lately - the Doom OST for the game released in May of this year.

It's a fantastic soundtrack, swaying more to a heavier industrial/metal area - the notable standouts for me are "Rip & Tear" and "BFG Division" - as surprised by how much I enjoy the game as I was, this soundtrack blew me away that bit more!

I am never the type to share my music, I am usually quite secretive about it but seeing as it is my only publicly released music. I made a few loops for a notable UKHH rapper called Lee Scott this year and he used one of my tracks on his new album, I am insanely happy about it.

All of the instrumentation except the programmed drum track was made by me with a guitar and a reel to reel.

[Fredd-E]

• Childish Gambino - Awaken, My Love!
• DJ-Kicks - Moodymann
• Leon Vynehall - Rojus (Designed To Dance)
• Lee Scott - Nice Swan
• Mick Gordon - Doom (Original Game Soundtrack)

[IanRedpoint]

Just discovered Western Skies Motel. Their album Settlers is gorgeous. Guitar + drone instrumentals. Reminds me a little of Helios but more organic.

[The Telepathic Kid]

I think fans of Oneohtrix Point Never's early work would really dig this;



this really snuck up on me and gave me a good sucker punch. One of the best albums of the year for sure.
