sutekh-periods.make.sense
phthalocyanine-25 tracks fer 1 track
phonem-hydro electric
arovane-atol scrap
lackluster-container

(i still haven't been able to get gimmik's slow motion process or senking's
trial so those may end up on there)
compilations
-----
neurokinetic (toytronic)
lily of the valley (schematic)
cottage industires (neo ouija)
labels
----
mille plateaux/force inc/etc
morr music
defocus
dumb commentary
-----
1) i was surpirsed no one else on the list had either of while's albums on
their list. to me at least, he's putting out some of the most innovative
dark/angsty stuff out today/ever.
2) although the "minimal" techno/house/etc, chain reaction, and microsound
(whatever they mean) were garnering attention the past few years, i think
they reached new heights this past year with many artists making crossovers
into the style or at least experimenting with it, as well as those creators
who were there from the start putting out top quality recordings as well.
3) i had some more interesting/insightful things to say when i began this,
but i've since forgotten them
cheers.
