2008 was a good year. For Music.
Not only were we pampered by Q-tip's Renaissance and Common's Universal Mind Control (which, unfortunately, turned out to be a bit too pop in some parts) hip-hop-wise, by Benga's brilliant Dubstep performance on Diary of an Afro Warrior and Andy Stott's Dubtechno exercise Unknown Exception, we also had Erykah Badu explain her New Amerykah, while Flying Lotus gave props to his hometown Los Angeles. Four Tet rang the bells on Ringer before Butch came along with his Papillon, and Jamie Lidell introduced us to Jim. But the biggest surprise happened to be Portishead, who brought us their Third album as if nothing had happened in the last 11 years. Actions speak louder than words.
Enjoy these. More tunes of 08 coming soon.
