My Picks LPs: Boards of Canada - Geogaddi: Obvious. Bola - Fyuti: Obvious, or at least should be. Digitonal - 23 Things: Quite original, blew me away actually. Akufen - My Way: Amazed this hasn't gotten big. I can play this for superficial LA types and they go nuts. Sigur Ros - (): Not IDM per se. But best album of the year. EPs: Funckarma - Part 5 (12"): Funckarma has officially reached trascendent status. Their contribution is a guaranteed highlight of any comp. "Lignite" is my track of he year. Bistream - Crab Nebula (7"), Radiotherapy (12") These guys write some of the best, most massive melodies out there. Crunch (10") on Delikatessen: I think this came out this year... Arovane - Cycliph (12") Impatiently awaiting the next full length. EOG - Part 3 (12"): Another good one on Dub. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

I just picked this up yesterday, after sampling the tracks on Toytronic's website. After listening to it, the first track still blows me away. However, for me, the rest of the album just gets an unenthusiastic "meh."

Yeah - I was surprised, I liked this one, too. And now, since I've been so mean and pessimistic lately, I thought I'd do my own little personal final music picks & happy thanksgivings for 2002: Best long-players (and others I'm thankful for): ================ Kristuit Salu vs Morris Nightingale - My Mines I ML - Everyone Looks Like Somebody Else Max Tundra - Mastered By Guy At The Exchange BoC - Geogaddi Jello - Voile Susumu Yokota - The Boy and the Tree Akufen - My Way (maybe...) Bola - Fyuti Proswell - Konami Decal - 404 Not Found Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk Freeform - Human David Bowie - Heathen Jim O'Rourke - I'm Happy, And I'm Singing... (OK, that's an old one, but I just got into it this summer) ...and I just ordered Spark - The Robotic Girl Next Door (on n5MD), and I think from the samples that this is going to be a late addition to my best of 2002. Best singles/eps: ================ Kid 606 - Why I Love Life Proem - No Carrier Autechre - Gantz Graf Um, er, I'm not much of an EP/single person, really. I tend to avoid them like the plague, especially if their on vinyl. Aside from the music, I'm thankful for my girlfriend (now my wife, for those keeping score at home, but I still call her my girlfriend - wife is too strange) - I'm thankful for my little literary discovery this year, Kim Stanley Robinson, and the path he's led me on; I'm thankful for Antarctic penguins (all of them - Emperor, Adelie, Gentoo...); I'm thankful for the few rational minds I meet, and perhaps some of the irrational ones as well; and for the good people in the Green Party, and other people non-violently protesting for peace; and finally, last but not least, I'm thankful for the IDM-list, which, though I delete most of its ramblings and advertisments, I still find bits and pieces of use here, mixed in with the occasional snicker or guffaw. -Adam Piontek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
