I don't get the impression these are in any meaningful order, if that's what you're driving at

Is this meant to be a lost classic?!
Only jazz record on the list and all......
― sonofstan, Thursday, 30 December 2010 14:31 (thirteen years ago) link
no, it's supposed to be a record that a reader of the NME circa 2010 would very likely not have heard

never even heard of the latter — and I'm a jackie mclean fan!

this is a reasonably interesting list imo
like...66.serge gainsbourg < you're under arrest >1987is a pretty unusual serge album to choose

I think it's great really. This is exactly what I looked to the NME for when I was 13 - 18. And despite the fact it's loads easier to find out and hear new music now, there really are a lot of albums on here that you're not going to stumble across, especially if you don't venture out from indieville that often. Kudos to them.
I really like Guy Garvey a lot but his suggestion of BRMC's third album just appalls me however. Are they really the ones deserving of the props from his record collection? I can't see it somehow.

I mean, it's got Shit and Shine, Pete Rock, Sun Ra, The Buff Medways, Nico and LFO on it... it fucking rules right?

"like...66.serge gainsbourg < you're under arrest >1987is a pretty unusual serge album to choose"
Glad I'm not the only person to think this. Bit of a Serge stan but never clicked with this one at all.

That said, a surprisingly good list from the NME but I'm a little lost as to who exactly it's aimed at (aside from 18yr olds, maybe). For every leftfield choice there are just as much "well-known-in-its-genre" canonical entries, e.g Da Capo, Odessey, The Infamous, etc.
― unpredictable johnny rodz, Thursday, 30 December 2010 20:44 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, there's some good stuff on here. not a massive fan of clor, but they probably were a bit ahead of the curve, to be fair.

although their use of toy keyboards and the singers weedy voice would unfortunately put me in mind of john shuttleworth.

i had the clor album in popular c2005 compression format mp3 and thought it 'unremarkable'
― Rockcrit from the Tuoms (nakhchivan), Thursday, 30 December 2010 21:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Tbf the list isn't ranked
― just sayin, Thursday, 30 December 2010 21:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Remember kind of liking the Clor album at the time but for some reason it gets blurred in my mind with the first Hot Chip release. I suppose it's the aforementioned toy keyboards and weedy voices, I guess.
― unpredictable johnny rodz, Thursday, 30 December 2010 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link
I prefer the Clor album to any of the Hot Chip ones... not that really means that much. The Clor album (and any by Hot Chip) is a great EP.
― Cosby You! Black Emperor (Doran), Thursday, 30 December 2010 22:13 (thirteen years ago) link
Think I still have a promo cd of the Clor album.
Oddessey & Oracle, Da Capo, Zuckerzeit, several others I can't recall are all great suggestions for18 year olds. BRMC is not. Wish there was more jazz, kraut, and some Os Mutantes / tropicalia.

this break up is still a crap decision.
i have been listening to this album a lot recently and such listenings have massively reaffirmed why this album was one of my faves of 2005, if not the decade ..
― mark e, Friday, 25 January 2013 20:20 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks for the reminder, I will dig this record out again, do you know Baringtone? (singer's newest thing)

not heard of that !
ta for the pointer ..
― mark e, Friday, 25 January 2013 20:43 (eleven years ago) link
turns out that luke smith from clor produced ternion by 'we have band' (last years album).
i picked this up today as a random £3 fopp special.
mainly due to the extra 26 minute remix album that supposed takes the league unlimited orchestra as its influence, and checking the credits revealed this nugget.
