Wake the Dead.
Album of the year?
Ok it's getting towards that time of year-be interested to see what everybody thinks and maybe get a few pointers for other purchases on CD's released this year.Here's my top 5. 1.The Great Eastern-The Delgados(chemical underground records)-melodic( but complex arrangements) indie band featuring both male and female vocalists-well recorded-Glasgow's best kept secret. 2.The Kingsbury Manx-Kingsbury Manx-(City Slang-American band who are an original slant/cut above on the usual Beach Boys/Country/pop type influences-good production. 3.Alone With Everybody-Richard Ashcroft(Virgin/Hut)-great easly-listening album from ex-Verve singer-strangely slated by UK music press-big but not totally successful production 4.Smile-The Jayhawks(American)-their most commercial album-usual strong songs/harmonies-big effective Bob Ezrin production. 5.Kid A-Radiohead(Parlophone)-decent stab at electronica mixed with their usual downbeat epicness-interesting cut and past/jarring production.
