Well some people have been posting lists of their best music of 1998. I
don't want to do exactly that, but here's a list of mostly recent stuff
that I've been listening to a lot recently. The first 6 are "Radical
Jewish Culture" type things mostly on John Zorns Tzadik label, the rest
are electronic that most of you will recognize.
Ambarchi/Avenaim - The Alter Rebbe's Nigun
John Zorn - Bar Kokhba and The Circle Maker
John Zorn's Masada - #10
Naftule's Dream - In Search of the Golden Dreydl
Gustav Mahler/Uri Caine - Primal Light
Dave Douglas - Charms of the Night Sky
Bjork - Hunter (Mu-ziq mix)
Bjork - Alarm call (Matmos mixes)
Matmos - The West 12"
Dom + Roland - Industry
Bleep Blip (Soundtracks to Imaginary Video Games) compilation on Lucky
Kitchen
Fennesz - Hotel Paral.el CD and Plays 7", also In Libro Mio 3" CD
Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children and various rarities
Bola - Soup
Highways Over Gardens comp on Carpet Bomb
Attention: Cats comp and Blitter 7" on Reckankreutzungsklankewerkzeuge
Recordings of Cambridge MASS
Freaky Loops comp (or mostly Sydney electronic music)
Probably other stuff I've forgotten at the moment.
Peter.
