You could have it so much better.....with the ILM albums of 2005

I haven't heard most of the winners (just d/led M.I.A. and Spoon; they both seem decent at least) or even most releases in my favourite genres but these were my lists, based on what I listened to. I was totally under the impression that we were voting for singles as opposed to tracks:

18 The Killers - Somebody Told Me
19 Ying Yang Twins - Wait (Whisper Song)
20 Destiny's Child - Girl

I think all 8 of these discs are the first available *recordings* of most of their contents. Not surprisingly, the works with more traditional instrumentation had an existence as concert music prior to appearing on disc.

Sadly, she cost No Neck Blues Band one vote.

8. Harrison Birtwistle - The Axe Manual (Metronome 1074)
My favorite piece by far on this is Harrison's Clocks, a major cycle of pieces based on layered and concatenated cells that repeat imperfectly, like machines in disrepair. Harmonically, there's a constantly high level of dissonance; density of texture and rate of activity are the main sources of variety through the cycle. Nicolas Hodges is a monster pianist. (The Axe Manual, for piano and percussion, is a bit disappointing -- parts seem too formulaic, or he sticks with the formulas too long.)

7. Elliott Carter - The Music of E.C. Vol 7 (Bridge 9184)
Pretty much what you'd expect if you know any of his recent music. This disc is a collection of large orchestral works, everything the work of a composer in his astonishingly productive 90s. The new piano concerto (Dialogues) doesn't grab me, but the Boston Concerto and the Cello Concerto have the same virtues as the best of his late orchestral works: engaging complexity, a thorough command of posttonal harmony, and a lightness and openness relative to his thorny and sometimes-opaque earlier works for large forces.

6. Furt - dead or alive (psi 04.09)
Live electronic improvisations based on a big pool of source material treated in ways that render it almost continuously spastic and explosive. Occasionally things settle down just enough that you can sort of tell there are two guys performing.

5. Jason Eckardt - Out of Chaos (Mode 137)
Eckardt is a younger American composer who takes after Ferneyhough in some respects. Very imaginative textures with instruments pushed to the extremes of their registers or dynamic ranges. And for all the performance difficulty there's often a graceful quality to the lines he writes. Google his website, there are sound clips there.

4. Chris Dench - ik(s)land[s] (NMC D089)
There's an ILM thread where the usual suspects discuss this (but I think that thread began as a discussion of some other composer, so Dench isn't mentioned in the title, maybe).

3. Brian Ferneyhough - Chamber Music (Stradivarius STR 33694)
This is a collection of recent music for small ensembles. Again, if you know any of his music you'll have an idea what to expect here. Flurries is for an unusually cool mix of instruments (piccolo, clarinet, horn, piano, violin, cello); Incipits is one of his most radically discontinuous pieces; and as usual his string writing has a brilliance and physicality that thrills me.

2. Curtis Roads - Point Line Cloud (Asphodel ASP 3000)
A collection of recent electronic music (studio pieces that exist as fixed recordings). These rely heavily on granular synthesis techniques that Roads helped to originate. Both the immediate qualities of the sounds (often fuzzy or crunchy or slippery) and the ways they evolve are appealing. I suppose my usual complaint about granular synthesis holds true here: the technique has a characterstic sound that gets a little tiresome over the course of a whole album. There's some neat video content, although I haven't spent much time viewing it yet.

1. Bernard Parmegiani - l'oeil ecoute (ina 275922)
Lots of turbulent, mobile sounds whose evolution is dangerously unpredictable. (I listen mostly on headphones to enhance the sense of hazard -- or to avoid bothering the neighbors, at any rate.) The 20-minute title track has a hugely eclectic sonic vocabulary (including recognizable snippets of speech and recorded music). Often the relationship between sounds seems to be one of main versus disruptive element -- and the disruptions get violent. The other two tracks are more focused on particular classes of sounds. (This is particularly true of la roue ferris, which is full of these blippy, bubbly electronic textures.)

(except I can't add and didn't double check this)

Read a review of that Carter disc last week and have heard 'Dialogues' from it. I enjoyed it lots (Hodges was on terrific form) and was very much engaged. Will track the rest down.

My favourite release was by Clemens Gadenstatter 'Comic Sense' on Kairos closely followed by the Dench and Eckhardt but half of the time is spent catching up. Have you heard it?

Just been googling and there are some reviews of the eckhardt from late '04 but some also from '05.

AFFINITY = BIG FAT ZERO W/ 99.99999% of ilm.

And how many of the people praising Isolee for beautiful textures are dismissing Four Tet or whoever for being dull?

Dance music that rewards closer listening... is that such an alien concept? Must it be either/or? Though fair enough and YMMV if you feel like it doesn't hit either goal properly. I disagree myself...

I'm still not sure I understand Spencer's true meaning the way he's written his comments. Rest (afaik) was a little more minimal and thoughtful, and he just prefers that? WAM definitley has a bit of throwing stuff into the mix and seeing what sticks about it, but it doesn't bother me, nothing really jars & it's all nicely freewheeling.

-- Frank Kogan

No, not ironic Frank - I wouldn't be able to recognize any of those artist's music.

[some genres i avoid / don't listen to / don't like: mainstream rap, r'n'b, twee indie, americana/alt.country, country, generic singer-songwriters and most modern NME hyped guitar bands.]

BOC is actually a lot more cliched now (admittedly they wrote half the cliches themselves before). Isolee is a lot harder to nail in one place, and yeah, sometimes it doesn't connect so vigorously.

Phillip S's WIRE review is one fo the few that mentioned the actual mood of "We Are Monster" I wouldn't mind some more people talking about that, I think it's been passed over, what with the ear candy being so vibrant and profuse.

me! me! although it's not so much isolée's textures as the sheer intricate detail of his music which appeals to me (most often in bed, morning after).

boards of canada are complete crap and always have been.

you are an idiot.

Martian, four tet haven't lost their way although they may have lost YOUR way. just because they have gone somewhere that doesn't particularly interest you doesn't mean they have gone crap.

Does this mean that someone else actually voted for this?

points / number of votes / number of top slot positions

Although I haven't bothered to listen to the Campfire Headphase OR Everything Ecstatic really. I'm kind of amazed how the BoC support collapsed around here because Geogaddi would've been totally up there in any 2002 ILM poll. Is the gulf in quality between the two that great or have people just got bored of them now?

HAHA

When Chris Martin picks up mainstream music awards the deluded fool thinks his band is important.

It was up there on the 2000-2004 poll -- top ten, IIRC. People definitely haven't forgotten about them but the "Campfire Headphase" hype really deflated after the album's release.

If you listened to The Campfire Headphase you'd know why!

so are #376 and #309, I noticed

cos y know making people happy with yr unthreatening melodic niceness is so much less important than oh whatever. fuck the kids at woollies aye?

anyway. here's the list of an ageing indie kid and synthpop fan who's a sucker for anthemic rock.
