Maybe I'm a bit ahead of the curve here, but here's my best of 2003 in no
particular order:
Giorgio Marauder- To Hell With Everyone 7" (Mirex)- some genre-fucking
breakcore (I guess) stuff with 60s spy-film-soundtrack strings and Cold
War-sounding vocal samples but the best sample has gotta be the 2 seconds of
some lounge singer guy singing that old Motorhead chestnut "Ace Of Spades"
!!!
Modeselektor- Ganes De Frau Vol. 1 12" (Bpitchcontrol)- Kompakt calls them
"weirdo techno" or something, which I can kinda understand; pounding
minimalism with Burt Bacharach samples and soccer play-by-play in German
(oh, and an Ellen Allien remix)- pretty much glued to my turntable for a
couple weeks there
Gwem and the Gwemettes- Suck My Dick, Lick My Arse 7" (Shitkatapult) and
Cold War Angst EP (Preromanbritain)- the 7" if only for the amazing
electropunk "Fuck You Managment Wanker," although I like that Miss Kitten
cover on the flip (and the EP) a lot better than the original; the EP's got
some nice acidy action and his cover of that Black Sabbath song "Paranoid"
is just flat out hilarious
Joachim Spieth- both 12" on Kompakt (Schlag Auf Schlag and Ein Kein Ende)
North Mancs Beds- Bolton 8 EP (NMB)- um, some more of that Manchester IDM/
Skam sound I love so much; and an African choir to start things off right
AFX- Smojface EP (Men)- well what can I say really? I really really like the
Bug already and this remix has gotta be the hardest (and fastest) breakbeat
monster I've EVER heard
The Bug- Pressure CD and Gun Disease 12" (Tigerbeat/ Rephlex)- well
obviously...
LFO- Sheath LP (Warp)
Heib- all three 12" on Auftrieb (Cargo, Tage Danach and Akrobat)
Hans Joachim Irmler- Lifelike LP (Staubgold)
King Tubby- Roots Of Dub & Dub From the Roots LP (Moll-Selekta)
T. Raumschmiere- everything but that new Radio Blackout record (Kompakt/
Hefty/ Sender/ Shitkatapult etc.)
Happy Christmas, Merry New Year and cheers to you all
Wah Wah Rabbits
