#1078 Kelela – Take Me Apart

Another artist I have never heard of is Kelela, yet she released the critical acclaimed debut album Take Me Apart in 2018. Critics praised her for the innovative production, songwriting and vocals. My favourite songs are “Frontline”, “Take Me Apart”, “Enough”, and “Truth or Dare”. Overall, if you like electro-R&B, alternative R&B, and electronica music, […]

#1074 Jane Weaver – Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver is an english singer-songwriter and guitarist. She has released twelve albums since 2002. Modern Kosmology is her ninth album. I have never heard of her. She seems to be a bit of an enigma, even her age is uncertain on Wikipedia. My favourite songs are H>A>K, Did You See Butterflies?, The Lightning Back, and […]

#1029 Portishead – Third

Portishead release their third album Third in 2008. It was their first album in eleven years and their last one to date. The band took the music into a new direction of incorporating krautrock, surf rock, and doo wop. It was rated by many critics as the best album of 2008. I found it hard […]

#1020 LCD Soundsystem – Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem released their second album Sound of Silver in 2007. Oddly, I recognise their first and third album, but I do not think I ever heard of the second one. Maybe I just don’t remember the song titles. Maybe it was not as good as the other albums. I do like their genres of […]

#943 Super Furry Animals – Rings Around the World

Super Furry Animals released their fifth studio album Rings Around the World in 2001. It was their first major label release. If you like a world were all genres are smashed into on pot like mash potatoes, then this album includes pop, prog, punk, jungle, electronica, techno and death metal. I am not sure how I feel […]

#939 The Beta Band – Hot Shots II

The Beta Band sounds really familiar to me. I may have heard them before, but the album Hot Shots II does not ring any bells. I am a fan of electronic and rock so this album might be interesting. I found this album hard to figure out. It was not terrible, but it was not great […]

#937 Gotan Project – La Revancha del Tango

Gotan Project released their debut album La Revancha del Tango in 2001. To date the French musical group have only released three albums. The trio consist of Eduardo Makaroff (Argentine), Philippe Cohen Solal (French), and Christoph H. Müller (Swiss). “Queremos Paz”, “El Capitalismo Foráneo”, and “Tríptico” were the only songs from this album that were […]

#931 Björk – Vespertine

I am surprised it took this long for Björk to appear on the list again. Vespertine is the pixie-like singer’s fourth album. It is an album about love. This is Björk’s most personal album at the time of its release. Vulnicura might be her second most personal album. Oddly, both albums have the same subject, American contemporary artist […]

#929 Radiohead – Amnesiac

Amnesiac is Radiohead‘s fourth album on the list of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. It was included in the 2005 version, but it was removed from later editions. Some fans were disappointed that the band did not return to its former style. I prefer this Radiohead over the rock one. I like […]

#927 The Avalanches – Since I Left You

Oddly, I have heard of and listened to The Avalanches. I even had the digital format of their debut album Since I Left You. The Australian electronic music group has only recorded two albums. I think we could call them the Harper Lee of music; it took sixteen years for their second album to be […]
