No good new music?


Curious as to how many 2002 new releases people bought this year - I bought a lot of music this year in general, but also felt like there was a lot of good new release this year as well. Being nearly the end of the year, I looked at my music inventory spreadsheet for how many 2002 releases I had and came up at >40.

How many 2002 releases have some of you purchased? It seems like this is some measure of how much good "new" music there is out there.

Hey Phase, haven't heard Philadelphia Experiment yet, noticed that their 1st disc has Uri Caine, Christian McBride and Pat Martino on it. Sometimes I'm kind of leery of discs that use alot of samples, but can't deny that there are a lot of great ones out there. Which disc of theirs is your favorite?
On your Can question, I think pretty much all of them have their strengths. If some turd came into my house, put a gun to my head and said he would take all my Can except 1, I'd probably have Future Days after he left. Haven't heard Pil for at least 15 years (could be one for the "buried treasure" thread. Of the Wobble records I had I liked The Bedroom Album best. In a similar vein, the early Holger Czukay stuff is pretty good too.
For modern electronic music...hard to be Chemical Bros "dig your own hole",Massive Attack "blue lines",Portishead "dummy"....
I'd just about given up on rock, but Southern Culture on the Skids was a a pleasnet surpise and a lot of fun.
