Soul Glo - Diaspora Problems
Hardcore punk and hip hop seems a perfect match, both come from a tradition of anger, politically commitment and energic music. Soul Glo are not the first to do it, but this remains one of the best example of it with its moving basslines and scratching riffs

Einstürzende Neubauten - ½ Mensch
A masterpiece if there was ever once, it takes everything the Einstürzende had done and takes it to a new level, at some point I was genuinely scared. I will need to relisten to it again to capture all the dark and metallic shades that are in here

Tarta Relena - És pregunta
Brilliant work by a catalan female duo. It takes music from european sacred and not sacred tradition and plays with it, deconstruct it, sometimes fuse it with modern sensibility and in the end you are left with an object that is both familiar and alien

Cindy Lee - Diamond Jubilee
Quite disappointed by this. I like the idea behind it and the production of it, it really captures the feeling of listening to some hauntology radio. But the idea is certainly not new (see Broadcast for example) and the songwriting is sadly subpar

The Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole
Weird to think that once loud, bass heavy, breakbeat music was mainstream and not relegated to underground raves or terrible "'90s music nights"...
In any case this one is a good album, especially the last track inspired by 60s psychedelia

Art Tatum - Piano Starts Here
A compilation of some of the best performance of Tatum, full of his pyrotechnic piano style that takes from all sort of traditions (from Liszt to boogie-woogie) and just rolls with it. Full of so much energy, this one is just plain fun

Two beautiful albums, the first more moody, the second more fast and closer to Coltrane style of modal jazz. As a saxophonist Shorter has a unique style made of big melodic "jump" and fast scales alternated with more reflective moments

Three-6 Mafia - Mystic Stylez
An hip hop cult classic if there was ever one. Taking the criminal pose of hip hop to its natural conclusion with its dark sound this album plays with themes of homicide, crime, satanism... in a way that feels more serious than something like Gravediggaz

The Slits - Cut
Good album from the cult all female punk band. The music is what you expect from reggae and dub inspired post punk, but unlike something like Clash or Pop Group there is not so much innovation as there is a close adherence to a formula, which makes the album feel samey

In this you can already hear all of the elements that will make Spiderland such a masterpiece: the dissonant and hypnotic guitar lines, the abrupt changes of tempo, the fear inducing half screamed half whispered vocals... all supported by Albini terrific production

Techno Animal - Re-Entry
Take Aphex Twin ambient works, add some drum machine pattern to it, drown everything in a dark industrial sea reminiscent of Einstürzende Neubauten and you get this album: 2 hours of some of the gloomiest music around

The Fugs - The Village Fugs Sing Ballads of Contemporary Protest, Point of Views, and General Dissatisfaction
One of the first psychedelic albums, made in 1965 (!!!!). The song writing is just okay, but you can definitely hear the influence it will have on Zappa, Beefheart, Byrds etc.

Denzel Curry - 13lood 1n + 13lood Out
Very cool mixtape with a bunch of features, fusing the trap sound with some memphis rap/horrorcore attitude is a perfect combo and the whole thing just goes really hard. It helps that the short time run keeps a constantly forward momentum

Fontaines D.C. - Skinty Fia
Same thing can't be said of Fontaines D.C., that are instead a group that nothing adds to the post-punk sound, just taking elements of Joy Division and Bauhaus with a bit of The Smiths and Sister of Mercy. Still okay for an autumn evening I guess...

King Krule - Man Alive!
Of all the post-punk-revival act Krule seems one of the few doing something interesting, shifting the dooming sound of This Heat and the neuroticism of Suicide into a more intimate sphere. Still it results a bit monotonous and not all songs are worth the listening

I like the urban and darker sound of this over the neo soul of his last albums and Lamar can obviously write and rap (some amazing flows on this) well, but it's hard to shake the feeling that after TPAB he just doesn't have much to say music wise. Only for the fans

Kim Deal - Nobody Loves You More
Not bad but not great. The pieces that work better, even if quite predictable, are the ones more close to the noise pop of the Breeders (Cystal Breath is amazing), while the more slow pieces with the strings and even wind instruments are quite forgettable

I generally dislike the disco-post-punk of the 2000s ,but this is a fun album that while unashamed of its inspirations (Talking Heads, New Order, Roxy Music...) remains fun until the second half, where it kinda loses itself with some uninventive tracks

Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil
I love Shorter impressionist style, lively even in the more slow pieces and still moody in the fast ones. There is always an ambiguity in the music, like if below the surface there is something that can't be put at rest.
Also some of Hancock best piano work!
