If there are just a few things I have to say to close an excellent year for electronic music...
Jeff Mills 'Metropolis' soundtrack is a masterpiece. Other releases this year that we all have been privileged to have been in the ears of such musical masters> Jeff Mills - Every Dog Has Its Day Vol 1 & 2 (Axis) Aztec Mystic - Jaguar remixes on 430 West and UR V/A - Clicks & Cuts (Mille Plateaux) V/A - Neurokinetic (Toytronic) V/A - Staedtizism (~scape) Vladislav Delay/ Luomo releases on Force Inc. / Force Tracks and Mille Plateaux Pub - Summer and the remixes (Vertical Form) Farben - Live at the Sahara Tahoe (Klang)Salz 1-4 (Salz) all releases Lowtec - 10 strikes to 2001 (Out To Lunch) Arovane - Atol Scrap (DIN) V/A - Do you see? (Focus) Aphelion - Zungzwang (Defocus) CiM - Reference (Defocus) CiM - Service Pack (Delsin) ...and just about any other CiM track released this year ...you'll have to love me for this Simon ;). ...In no particular order since I'm no believer of Top 10 or Charts, just good releases. All these gems stand on their own merits. Hot tip for next year. Forthcoming 'The Moderator' releases. Have a good new year everyone!
