Troy’s 2004 list

Bloged in Lists, 2004 by troy Saturday February 12, 2005

1. The Dead Texan - the dead texan
The fucking shit. Absolutly loved every song on it except one.

2. Casino vs. Japan - hitori & kaiso 1998-2001 (came out 2004)
This guy is the best at chill electronic lush music. Super lush pads mixed with vocodered beats and beatiful melodies.

2.5 Air - Talkie Walkie
Shit I left this one off. I had to come back and add it. Basically I know how most bands best albums are their first two, (metallica, cure, depeche mode etc..) However, I think this was Air’s best all around cd they ever have made. Premiers and Moon were dope, but I think pound for pound every track on this bitch is dope. Fuck you pussy’s that think otherwise.

3. Bass Communion - ghosts on Magnetic Tape
This is shit you basically want to put headphones on and worship satan style music. Super deep, drone style stuff. Awsome

4. Andrew Pekler - Nocturnes False Dawns and Breakdowns
Jazzy, chill electronic, but not that gay ass acid jazz style. Nice deep smooth styles on pole’s label (scape)

5. Dave Ellesmere - Angry Young Computer
Sweet dope style classic techno. Most you bitches wont be into this shit.

6. ISAN - Meet Next Life
Chics dig isan for some reason. I do too. Again this one wins me over with sweet pads, and lush synths.

7. Triosk Meets Jan Jelinek - 1 plus 3 plus 1
More Jazzy electronic shit, but again not gay ass acid jazz booshit. This is pretty with a rough edge.

8. brent_gutzeit–drug_money
Done sotl style stuff. Dope headphone music.

9. Jet Jaguar - Think About It Later
This is a pretty dope album. Not real sure why I played it so much because there really isn’t anything that puts it over the top. It’s basically like tosca sound but more abstract.

10. deadbeat _ primordia
More shit from a scape artist. Nice.
