Here we are at the top 20 albums I heard in 2023. There’s some fun stuff here for you.
#20: Worg – Il Piano di Medea EP
This is a techno EP based on the mythological tale of Jason and the Golden Fleece. I don’t know what else to write to make you keen on hearing it than that.
#19: Noëtik – Parhelion EP
Speaking of good EDM, this EP from Noëtik is solid. You could drop any of these tracks into a DJ set and your audience will think you’re a genius.
#18: The Serfs – Half Eaten By Dogs
Weird and wild post-punk from Cincinnati. It moves back and forth between cold wave, post-punk, krautrock, and other stuff that’s hard to define.
#17: Motörhead – Live at the Montreux Jazz Festival ’07
This unearthed, previously unreleased live recording of Motörhead destroying a jazz festival is nothing short of outstanding. They were firing on all cylinders during this tour. Count yourself lucky if you saw them in 2007. If, like me, you never got to see them live, this gets you close.
#16: Rich Aucoin – Synthetic – A Synth Odyssey: Season 2
Rich Aucoin has a cool gig. He gets to collect and play with vintage synthesizers, arpeggiators, sequencers, and organs and make albums with them. This second volume of such music sounds like it was recorded yesterday with new gear. It’s full of dance tracks, ambient cuts, trance beats, disco riffs, and more.
Who makes the top 15? Stay tuned!
