10 Must-hear Albums from 2009

by Mark Jackson on December 23rd, 2009

So finally, here is my list of “must-hear” albums from this year. I’m a little late to the scene but hopefully you guys aren’t exhausted of these yet. I’ll keep it easy on the reading part.

I wasn’t sure what to call this list, but I think that “best of” and “favorite” are overused since any one person can only listen to a tiny portion of all the albums that came out this year, and one person’s favorites won’t exactly match another’s. So I tried to pick some of my favorite albums that are a bit obscure but also that I think a large number of people can appreciate. My hope is that you’ll stick to some of these albums, because I think they all have great replay value too.

Thanks Mark!

Personally, I prefer the all black body & faceplate with white LEDs.  That’s the ticket!

More on the Ohm64 here.

Their latest work is a feature length film (that may include some new Bluskreen music).

Check it out.

An excerpt:

“..This album is over an hour long, and it hides gold in every track. There is not a clunker on this album, and that’s really difficult to say about any album with seventeen tracks, much less an instrumental one. Even more impressive is that the album doesn’t feel repetitive at all. Different sounds, rhythms, tempos and moods populate each one, making the album a long, satisfying journey. It’s a journey that needs to be focused on and listened to as a piece of art, and not as background music. But for those willing to pour some tea, sit back, and listen intently, there’s an exciting hour and change waiting for you in Bluskreen’s Mockup.”
