Top 10s for 2007: Daggan (Novoton)
Here's a "top-10" list from me. Feel free to use it if you like. In no particular order. Just 10 great releases which got my juices flowing ;-).
Tap Tap - Lanzafame
A truly superb album. I hear Bowie, Velvet Underground, Talking Heads in here and I love it.

Wolf People - EP
A psych-rock treat

Pascal - Galgberget (upcoming album)
Heavier and more noisy then ever. Don't miss this one.

The Wolfgang Press - Bird wood cage
An oldie from 1988 which I rediscovered and listened to a lot this year. It was great back then and I see now why I loved it so much, and still do.

Pet Politics - When I get old (track)
A great artist and I really have to do something with him now.

Norma - 1 (EP)
A perfect mixture of ambient, kraut, noise, electronica, indie

A recommended listen.

"Can't wait for"
Antennas', Paper's and Norma's upcoming albums. All due to be released this spring and from what I have heard all equally great in their own ways.
