I totally agree. This track has definitely brought something new this year. A new sound was born.

withdrawal?

Sakadat?

pd.Mumbling at 1 its fine!

adam beyer - china girl
jamie mchugh - confusion
raudive - magnetic
gel abril - very wrong
slam - azure

Strange list. Too much Villalobos in all of this lists this year.

Quite dissapointed with year lists that were missing some of the in my opinion essential stuff but tastes differ.

Too much focus on striped down minimal on the lists, and this year was dominated by a bit other type of music.

Dubfire - Ribcage [Desolat] ?

Quite possibly one of the most boring lists I've ever seen

Well, instead of telling people their tastes are boring, wouldn't it be better to turn everyone onto the good stuff? Cough up a top 10 and let's have a look

18. Tiger Stripes - Survivor [Get Physical]
19. Underworld - Glam Bucket [underworldlive.com]
20. Sebo K - Far Out [Mobilee]

Has to be Ames's "Fiori" and although I agree with Roland Appel's "Dark Soldier" I think the track he released after that"Unforgiven" was at least it's equal if not better.
Dusty Kid was consistently brilliant and "The Cat" was a track to rival/complement Vitalic's "My Friend Dario" in the great riff stakes !
Always difficult to pick such a list but 2007 in my estimation was a great year for electronic music of any persuasion.
Special mention also to High Contrast for "If we ever" the guy barely put a foot wrong this year.

Re the top 30 itself - it's a good list, but it's a little too, ummm, obvious, imo. I feel that the good people at  could have dug deeper.

Still we are not talking about the pop charts here

Dubfire - Roadkill
Agnes - Hi-murda
Jeff Samuel - Lost
Mumbling Yeah
Pan-pot - Crank
Argy - Unrealiable Virgin
M.Buttrich - Hunter

we have a saying here: "Different people, different tastes - said the dog and
licked under its tail"

Different Strokes etc but personally 2 tracks i though would have been there were

Aeroplane - Caramellas

and

Moodymann - Technologystolemyvinyl

But it seems to be mostly deep techno or minmal thats big at the moment.alot of these tracks will be forgotten in a few months and then the really good tracks of 2007 can be remembered,albeit too late to be cool playing them...

But hasnt it always been that way?
