David Sylvian - Bamboo Houses / Bamboo Music
100

Bamboo houses alone earns this score, a track to be listened to again and again. Everytime you listen you hear something new in the production, mix, arrangement, programming, texture, vocals, tone, pitch....etc. Like much of Sakamoto's early music it is a synthetic canvas, but it is David Sylvian who wields the pastel this time as his vocals glide freely across the surface of the beat.

underscores - U

Who knew that a cutecore artist would be the one to lead the charge. Do not sleep on Killwiz, this girl can flow, and she can write. The writing ... read more

U2 - Under a Blood Red Sky
85

This record proves why U2 is way overhated, even if this was before their prime era. Bono may not be the best vocalist but he will sound the best he ever will on this record. Even without accompanying footage his stage presence can be felt through the whole recording, never letting up energy even on the low energy songs like Party Girl. The Edge might not be the best guitarist but he actually plays the guitar here, in all its post-punk glory. The rest of the crew is also there.

In any case, ... read more

Emma Aibara - u:phobia
80

I never used myspace, but this is the image of myspace-core as an imaginary genre in my head. If this is the direction that underground alternative emo screamo breakcore will be going then we are heading into very exciting times.
