BEST OF MUSIC
2011
It is never
an easy task to pick up the best Tunes and CDs of the last 12 months, from my
playlists...
I initially
wanted to select the 10 best tunes and ended up with a 30 best list... plus I
have added 50 more which I consider also exceptional... a lot more remains in
my playlists... It was easier to pick up the CDs, mostly because I buy less and
less full CDs... the trend is for tracks and remixed tracks, although there
were some very good cds to listen from beginning to end nonstop. I consider
Nicolas Jaar was the musician of the year, not only because of his CD but also
his many remixes. But there were a lot more people - see bellow! The lists are in alphabetical order. Hope you
enjoy!
