Here’s a quick round-up of my favourite albums of 2008. It’s long overdue, but I’ve been away for the blog for quite some time! Will any get added to the list off all time greats? Stop squinting and hit that link!
Honourable Mention:
Health - Disco
Health – Disco
A remix album from a band I had not had the grace of listening to beforehand. Not the greatest recommendation for an album, but bear with me, for this album has a number of good tracks and even a couple of greats, too. The sounds experienced during a sitting of DISCO are, as the name implies, meant for the dancing environment – tracks such as Crystal Castle’s remix of Crimewave and C.L.A.W.S.’ remix of Lost Time have real dancefloor potential.
The blending of rock and electronica has been derided in many quarters – not least in places where the more commercially driven artists are prominent – this album goes to show that one should not disregard the experiment.
Stand out Track: Crimewave (vs. Crystal Castles)
Short-game: A very good remix album with a nice variety of sounds.
Score: 3.5/5
