List all the new albums you heard in 2010

List the full albums, from 2010, that you've heard in the last twelve months. If you can't remember them all that's not a problem, just the ones that had the most impact on you. Feel free to discuss the influence they had on your music-making.

List every girl, from 2010, that you fucked in the last 12 months. If you can't remember some thats not a problem. If some of those girls were in fact men that is not a problem either. Just the ones who had the most impact on your boner.
Feel free to post pictures as well. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanuka.

I don't remember the album or band names because of all the anti-depressants I've been devouring, but I listened mostly to emo albums for the past year. Emo is pretty cool stuff and it's still pretty popular in some circles, so I listen to it just to be in with the cool crowd....and because life sucks and I don't wanna be a conformist (yeah, that's sorta ironic, isn't it?).





OK, my serious answer is: not much new EDM because: (1) I don't really care for the general direction that it has gone, favoring production over musicality and songwriting, (2) I have very diverse musical tastes that seem to shift 180 degrees every few months or so, (3) EDM was never my favorite style of music anyway, and (4) I can think for myself, choose music for myself, and I don't feel intimidated by people who think that I should enjoy their favorite music or dislike my favorite music. That said, I did like the new Kaskade and Haley albums (cue people telling me how cheesy they are, to which I refer you back to #4).

Did I win?

I'll answer that for me: Nope. Robby did.

Flying Lotus's album was the businesz.

LMAO should I kill myself now or later? lol

I just don't understand some of these threads in TA I mean if I genuinely answered this post I could be typing for 2 hours just talking about the influences some tracks had.. and then I'd finish and ask myself what the point was.

It sounds more like a school assignment than a questions he's genuinely concerned about, as he didn't even mention why he wanted to know. How are you going to learn anything asking about the influences an album had on a forum full of people who likely don't even share the same musical tastes you do? Unless he just wants a list of good albums to rip to his ipod..

It's much worse than a school assignment - he is out to prove to us that we're all out-of-touch morons because some of us don't like dubstep:

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J This forum is so out of touch it's quaintly hilarious. All the time you people spend talking about technical stuff and it's clear so few of you know anything about remotely contemporary music. Have you ever actually gone to a dubstep night and danced to it? And I don't mean standing on the edge of a dancefloor while DJ Local **** plays some brostep remixes, I mean an actual bass night with a soundsystem. There is no pending anecdote. I just wanted to confirm that you, like probably most of the others making assuming posts about dubstep here, don't go to any parties or have any connection to the scene. Hence: out of touch. I think I'll make a thread to test my own suspicions.

Peer pressure is so cool........if you're in 7th grade.

I'm out to prove that you're all out-of-touch through the answers listed in this thread. I have opinions about this sub-forum formed long before the dubstep discussion, but this is the perfect opportunity to prove me wrong with a very simple list.

However, I'm expecting a lot of people going on the defensive, and very few albums to be listed. Doesn't matter if they were electronic. New albums from 2010.

Was Gorillaz new one released this year??? if so then i listened to that once and it wasnt grabbing me
same with the trentemoller one
Listened to the Martin buttrich one also, wasnt feeling it
Nothing new stood out to me really :-/.

Mostly listened to lots of older albums that i hadnt heard before this year.

Does it have to be artist albums only?

If not then the cd's that stood out for me this year

Apparat - DJ Kicks
Michael Mayer - Immer 3
Caribou - Swim
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
The Nationals - High Violet
Chemical Brothers - Further
Massive Attack - Heligoland
Radioslave - Strictly Rhythm
Baths - Cerulean
Luke Abbott - Holkham Drones
Renaissance 16 - Parallel Hernan Cattaneo
Bonobo - Black Sands
Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles



I'm sure there are more but these are off the top of my head.

How have they influenced my productions? Well I've done very little this year so it's hard to say. The one production I actually completed jumped back and forth from 80 - 160bpm. Something I've never done before. Take from that what you will.

Chicane - Giants
Chris Reece - The Divine Circle
Katy Perry - Teenage Dream

I think that's every album I bought this year actually...

Already posted this in the MD thread, but here we go:

Autechre - Oversteps
Shed - The Traveller
The Black Dog - Music For Real Airports

Oh, and I made basically no music this year, so the influence is negligible, I suppose.

I've made (at least) ten songs (currently working out the bass-line for #11) and one album.

I've probably heard five times as many songs from actively listening in the producer's promotion plus listened to incidental songs posted on YouTubes in the What are You Listening to Right Now thread, in the COR and from various threads in the Music Discussion Forum. Not to mention the songs I've heard in Cakewalk's Song forum. I've also listened to at least five (but probably one or two more) different DJ mixes that have been posted in the DJ promotion's forum including one or two from the OP. If I thought long and hard enough I could probably list about half of the music, by artist and title, that I've heard on the radio.

As for proper artists albums, I have to concede I've heard none.

What is the purpose of this thread? The op may explain.

He wants to call out this forum's producers as a bunch of people who are out of touch because they don't like contemporary music, don't listen to much of it, or both. And possibly also as a bunch of narrow trance heads who have no influences from outside the genre.

To be honest, before SYSTEM-J happened in on the dubstep thread, I was about to start a post asking how many of us listen to what the DJ's are playing in the DJ Promo forum.

I must admit mate that if I'm understanding this post, for someone who spends much of their time on a music forum and who makes music as well, you listen to a surprisingly small amount of music.

No argument there. I have four or five downloads from the DJ promotion forum that are still pending listening; that I earnestly meant to get to weeks if not months ago. And that's probably still only scratching the surface of what's ideal. What's more is that most of those listens - between 90-95% of the sum of material I've heard - are only heard one time.

When I do get around to listening to music, I either have to force myself to do so or it's because I found myself stuck in a rut while producing and listening to music helps jog my perspective enough to come back to it with fresh ears.



Incidentally, that song you made which varies in BPM, made it into the "more than once" category.

I think most of us can take your opinion as it is. There is no need to prove it wrong. It doesn't carry that much weight. At least for me.

Favorite album this year... The unknown Journey by Arnej.

This thread is funny. Two points for you, Mr J.

a) Many producers, particularly the amateur ones, don't have a lot of time to listen to music, because, wait for it...they're making it, with every spare second! The amateurs in particular, because they're still learning how to make the sounds they want, and it takes longer. They probably have jobs, too.

b) Is listening to others' music necessary for making your own? All the breakthrough techno artists I've been reading about recently are Omar-S 2.0, guys who never bothered listening to anyone contemporary, and so came up with a completely unique sound.

Other than that, your point is very valid. How does one become unique or sculpt a creative sound without influences and inspiration?

These are the artist albums i have discovered and listened to in 2010 more than once, ive been listening a lot to these.

Hybrid - Disappear Here
Gareth Emery - Northern Lights
Zeromancer - Eurotrash
Zeromancer - Clone Your Lover
Zeromancer - ZZYZX

I think it has become more and more normal to single out tracks from various artists rather than listening to full albums, since you no longer need to buy a whole album to get the tracks you like.
Despite not having listened to more than these 5 albums, i have been listening a lot to various tracks from various artists in many different genres.

I don't know why some of you are trying to make this thread seem worthless. We all like music, we all listen to music, why not talk about some of the new acts we've found this year?

Unless you guys want this to be a stale informational subforum with no interaction between its regulars, that's fine by me too, but make up your damned minds. Half the community complains there's no discussion here while the other half just bitches about all of the threads meant to encourage it.

sigh
