Welcome to The Best of 1998

Recently I made some lists of the best stuff on the scene in the past 10-12 months. Because I am lazy and forgetful sometimes, I didn't bother to post it up for all your prying and curious eyes. Here it is, I probably missed some great tunes etc, but too late. After I keep looking @ the list, I might change the spots over the next couple weeks, whatever

Album of the Year :

Adam F - Colours website

Wicked Drum and Bass, just what I always wanted my drum and bass to be. As I started making this page up, I decided to see how some others thought about the album:

MOBOS awards: "'Best Album' for his debut release Colours"

American music critics have hailed Adam F's debut album Colours as being one of the most significant records to emerge from the last 5 years.

MTV On Line: "What seperates Adam F from any number of ambient, loopy artists is the sharp edges of his mostly-instrumental sound"

Mix Mag American Addition: "Arguably one of the most beautiful jungle records of all time"

Regardless of what they say, this rules. Full of hits, classics etc etc etc

  1. Intro
  2. 73
  3. Metropolis
  4. Music In My Mind
  5. Jaxx
  6. Mother Earth
  7. The Tree Knows Everything

Worst Single of the Year :

Love Inc - Homeless

If you've heard it, you should need no explination.

Miracle Man/Woman :

Jason Nevins

For making a shitty song (Love Inc - Homeless), not only into a tolerable song, but a good one in that. Making shit into music, is why Nevins grabs this award.
