Cex这两张是去年听过的最有意思的说唱专辑。Delerium是相当有可听性的电音流行曲。DJ Krush的新专辑有少量很时尚的人声曲,其他继续在抽象Hip-Hop的实验中。Ez3Kiel的《Barb4Ry》也是我去年听过的最喜欢的Downtempo作品,Groove Armada这张依然很流行,甚至得了格莱美提名。horace andy这张的第一首相当好听,让人一听声音就想起他和massive attack的合作产品。Jah Wobble虽然也很流行,但Jay Jay Johanson更过分,以中性嗓音回归至新浪潮舞曲的唯美和颓废之中,像“On The Radio”那种甜美小曲完全可以打榜,让人回想起听Pet Shop Boys的年代。出于惯性,Massive Attack - 100th Window是我们不能不听的作品。但Kid Koala,Meat Beat Manifesto的复合曲风更让人惊喜,这种纯粹的听觉享受并不亚于Nightmares On Wax。虽然Jungle不是当下的热门曲风,但个人认为碎拍中最狂野也最有想象力空间的还是它们,尤其是μ-Ziq的作品更有一股冷峻凛冽之气,一直是我最钟意的艺人之一。
