Music of 2010

A Listmania! list by Sick Mouthy (Exeter, Devon)
(VINE VOICE)   
 
There Is Love In You
1.  There Is Love In You by Four Tet
The list author says:
  "Blissful end-of-the-night house beats married to Hebden's usual ear for exquisite texture, detail, and melody; his most digital, and most focused, album."
£6.99   Used & New from: £4.98
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

Transference
2.  Transference by Spoon
The list author says:
  "The hangover from Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga's populist success; Spoon get even more abstruse, but remain just as groovy and affecting, albeit slightly different."
£4.79   Used & New from: £3.52
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Heartland
3.  Heartland by Owen Pallett
The list author says:
  "Owen Pallett's first album under his own name expands his sound in just the right ways; drums, electric bass, synths etc compliment the orchestral chamber pop beautifully. A fabulous narrative trip."
£6.79
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Silverwater
4.  Silverwater by Necks
The list author says:
  "A 2009 straggler that I only just caught up with; umpteenth album of 60-minute jazz/postrock grooveness - this one adds some guitar to the piano, bass, drums."
£11.39
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Fly Yellow Moon
5.  Fly Yellow Moon by Fyfe Dangerfield
The list author says:
  "Not listened to this yet, but hopefully it'll reign-in some of the missteps of the 2nd Guillemots album to showcase Fyfe's pipes and choons."
Used & New from: £4.43
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

Real Life Is No Cool
6.  Real Life Is No Cool by Lindstrøm & Christabelle
The list author says:
  "80s-tinged beatific electro producer teams up with female vocalist, ceases 20-minute meanderings, and makes sublime, Jacko-influenced squelch-electro pop album. Ace!"
£13.43   Used & New from: £7.08
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

One Life Stand (Digipack)
7.  One Life Stand (Digipack) by Hot Chip
The list author says:
  "Opener Thieves In The Night ranks as one of the best things Hot Chip have ever done, and there are a couple of other amazing moments here, but vocals, always weak, are starting to really grate now."
£5.90   Used & New from: £3.08
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (20 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Acolyte
8.  Acolyte by Delphic
The list author says:
  "Don't believe the hype around this Manc trio in love with Orbital; they're not the future, but they're a pleasant 50-minute distraction."
£5.62   Used & New from: £1.09
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (34 customer reviews)

Heligoland
9.  Heligoland by Massive Attack
The list author says:
  "Is it surprisingly good? I wasn't expecting much. Business as usual I suppose, but more meat to it than 100th Window. Girl I Love You is immense."
£4.49   Used & New from: £2.48
3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (70 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

In A Yea Tomorrow
10.  In A Yea Tomorrow by The Knife
The list author says:
  "Not a new album proper, but a modern electronic opera, with all that entails. Parts are pretty much just ambient, parts are bizarre modern classical, parts are just sublime Knife action."
£15.29   Used & New from: £4.83
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Black Noise
11.  Black Noise by Pantha du Prince
The list author says:
  "Delicious minimal techno; a good companion piece to the Four Tet record, perhaps.  Good for headphones and maybe dancefloors too. But not your usual dancefloors."
£7.29   Used & New from: £5.99
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Have One On Me
12.  Have One On Me by Joanna Newsom
The list author says:
  "Shorter songs (almost), but a longer album; epic 3CD harp odyssey that absolutely oozes musicality. There's a lot here to get to grips with."
£12.29   Used & New from: £8.99
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (43 customer reviews)

Swim
13.  Swim by Caribou
The list author says:
  "Awesome fifth album from Dan Snaith; his most electronic, most disco, most psychedelic yet."
£6.61   Used & New from: £3.80
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

Peepers
14.  Peepers by Polar Bear
The list author says:
  "More genre-hopping, smile-inducing great British jazz from Polar Bear; they never disappoint."
£6.49   Used & New from: £4.99
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Pawel
15.  Pawel by Pawel
The list author says:
  "Blissful, immaculately produced minimal techno from Kompakt. Think somewhere between The Field and Four Tet."
£13.49   Used & New from: £10.72

Voice of the Seven Thunders
16.  Voice of the Seven Thunders by Voice Of The Seven Thunders
The list author says:
  "Full-throttle psychedelic kraut guitar stomp RAWK from formerly very acoustic gentleman and his friends. This rocks. It is dirty. It is over quickly. Sounds European, German or Turkish. Excellent fun."
£11.14   Used & New from: £9.81
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

I Speak Because I Can (Eco-pack)
17.  I Speak Because I Can (Eco-pack) by Laura Marling
The list author says:
  "Delicious sophomore album of (not always entirely) gentle folk; produced by Ethan Johns, who has a magic touch with acoustics."
Used & New from: £2.58
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (58 customer reviews)

This Is Happening [Digipak]
18.  This Is Happening [Digipak] by LCD Soundsystem
The list author says:
  "Yet more Eno worshipping discopunk from Mr Murphy; maybe not quite hitting the peaks of SoS, but perhaps more consistent. Saying that, Dance Yrself Clean is his best opener so far; immaculate."
£8.65   Used & New from: £5.18
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (22 customer reviews)

Boys Outside
19.  Boys Outside by Steve Mason
The list author says:
  "More modernist melancholia from former Beta Band frontman, this time under his own name. Layers of plangent piano, delicate guitar, and subtle electronics combine with Steve's maudlin vocals; lovely."
£13.00   Used & New from: £6.70
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)
