2014qt.

Hey y'all it's ya girl treeqt. back for your annual edition of peep my year fam. Let me first hit you with a couple statistics to put the following set of enumerated items into proper perspective: 564 ratings, 195 of them 3 or higher and thus eligible for inclusion on this list. Although they rank in my top 100 (and some of them highly) I did not include any Fabric(live), RA and FACT (1 exception) mixes in this list because everyone with an interest in dance music should always listen to all their releases regardless (or consider to do so at least). Also because I needed more space. Fabric 75 & 76 as well as Fabriclive 73(!) & 76 are 3.5s and highly recommended. All items 3.0 until otherwise noted. Enjoy.

a lot of korean groups release japanese albums or singles because the japanese music market is much bigger and there's a decent amount of demand
it's gotten to the point where some groups exclusively release japanese music now

i knew k-pop was huge in japan, i just thought the japanese were listening to the korean songs. guess not.

"experimental big band free jazz . we can make this an annual thing imo"

are you under the impression that Fire! is the only band that does this? Cuz there are literally piles of other amazing projects going on from members of Fire alone not to mention the like 62 Kilimanjaro associated acts etc.

Oren Ambarchi released like 3 or 4 albums this year and that just one guy associated with Fire
Lord(e)Po)))ts

01.14.15
point being that it has already been an annual thing for quite some time
treeqt.

01.15.15
no it hasnt smh just because there's a million established dudes in the group doesnt mean the group has been going forever smh

01.15.15

Lord(e)Po)))ts

01.15.15
yeah well the specific shit hes been talking about has been going on since the mid 90's as well so thats a decade and a half of that as well

this whole experimental free doom avant garde big band jazz shit is not a new thing

01.15.15
no matter what way you look at wat he said its dumb dumb

01.15.15
theyve been expanding and adding members who all have like 30 side propjects since their 2009 release
TomTomTomato

01.15.15
i thought he meant putting whatever album they make in a given year in that year's list would be an annual thing

that would not be dumb
Lord(e)Po)))ts

01.15.15
and before that there was The Thing which has been going around since like 2001 or something

01.15.15
You're grasp of the English language ends at fragmented meaningless half sentences with 4chan grammar, my only deficiency is understanding this inept version of the language that you try and pass off as meaningful in some shape or form when you've literally made zero comments with even a smidgen of content or insight since you joined
