That's the obvious 1/2 there!
Had totally forgotten about that Field Music album. Loved it, will be on rotation today now.

There's a few tracks on there especially 'Noisy Days Are Over' that are just brilliant but I thought the album tailed off quite rapidly after the first 4 or 5.
I do like that Fopp list though, whoever compiled it is into the same music as me although I'm surprised to see Bat For Lashes and Lambchop in the top 10. The BFL album lacks a killer bite for me, it's a solid album but there's no big tunes - a bit like the Radiohead album. The Lambchop album is another interesting one, ordinarily I'm a big fan of Kurt Wagner but not this latest album. I'm not keen on the unnecessary and heavy use of vocoder throughout. I'd love to hear his version of the album he wrote for Tim Burgess one day.

That's a fair call. The highs are very high and I've got a soft spot for 'It's a Good Thing' toward the end of the record but yeah, you're right.
Historically they've always needed to edit a bit more brutally.
Always look forward to [MENTION=61]Theatre of Trees[/MENTION] effort. The Katie Gately record is indeed a cracker. A few new ones on me, Exploded View sounds cracking.
The Avalanches long player is rather good isn't it?
Likewise, a lot of new stuff that I'd not heard of. Definitely a list I'm going to enjoy exploring.Always look forward to [MENTION=61]Theatre of Trees[/MENTION] effort. The Katie Gately record is indeed a cracker. A few new ones on me, Exploded View sounds cracking.
The Cate Le Bon record is shooting up my list.
I deliberately avoided it earlier in the year as her gig in Brighton clashed with something I was putting on and I didn't really remember to come back to it that much.
Going to give that Drinks album from last year (CLB & Tim Pressley (White Fence)) and outing today as well, as that passed me by.
