Alright I know that most of you have posted your best releases of 1999. I
haven't yet because there has been so many excellent releases that have been
very dificult to separate with number placings, so I will provide ten of what
I consider to be seminal releases of '99. In addition, I think it will be a
good idea to conduct some sort of a poll (from your top 10) to see the
communalities of best releases. I have noticed that certain releases have
featured strongly ie Lexaunculpt, Monolake's Gobi Desert, Dettinger's
Intershop etc etc i.e Lance's post is quite a comprehensive top10 list.
So I am suggesting a subscriber's poll and I'll count up tally's for the best
10 releases of the year (from numbers) and try to post the final verdict when
all the results are in (sound like the scientific researcher I am??? - or am
I just a data-analysis-results-discussion junkie). The final results will be
collated from the most number of posts for a particular release, not what
position it occupied on a particular person's list.
If everyone is collectively interested in doing this, then I invite private
emails of your top 10s for 99 - so as not to flood this list with repeats.
This can include any format of *official* release ie LP, CD, 12", 10"
minidisc...but no CDRs thanks. Let the polling begin...
N.B - It must be a 1999 release. Please check dates on releases thanks.
Polling closes on the 31st January 2000, so get those lists in quick.
Meanwhile these are my 10 favourite releases for 99 - in no particular order.
Arovane - Amx, No.8 (DIN)
Lexencaulpt - Oh here some noise (Isophlux)
V/A - Ischemic Folks (Schematic)
Monolake - Gobi Desert (m/i Imbalance)
Aril Brikha - Deeparture in Time (Transmat)
Kit Clayton - Nek Salanet (~Scape)
Rapaciolli - EP 1 (Vertical Forms)
Jochem Paap - Vrs-mbnt II (Fax)
V/A - Deeper Side of the Internet (Deep4Life)
Jeff Mills - From the 21st (Axis/Sony Japan)
