We zitten al weer in de laatste paar weken van het jaar, waarin het terugblikken op het muzikale jaar 2010 natuurlijk onvermijdelijk is. Dit jaar bijt ik het spits af met mijn top albums van 2010, verdeeld over 10 genres. Ambient / Electronic Ik begin meteen met een categorie die een combinatie is van twee verschillende genres. Sommige vinden dit wellicht heiligschennis, maar de reden dat ik deze twee bij elkaar heb geplaatst is de gecombineerde chill-out factor die beiden voor mij hebben, en het feit dat ik deze vaak door elkaar heen [...]
The year's best albums are highlighted by the emergence of a future superstar, two veteran and virtuoso rappers, and a Dream Team of indie bands releasing career peaks.

Cela fait plus de 6 ans déjà que les fans attendent la sortie du cinquième album de Massive Attack . Heligoland est sortie officiellement hier, le 8 février. Avec une liste d'invités largement aussi longue que le sexe d'un poney bien monté, cet Lp est aussi peut-être un des plus accessibles de leur discographie.
