Best of 2010

January 8, 2011 10:00 AM

It's been a good year of listening; my 2010 tops are as follows, of which the archival issue of Ferrari's Ephemere on Alga Marghen ranks as my favorite, at least for the time being.

Ben Vida - Patchwork (CS, Autumn)
Charanjit Singh - Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat (2xLP reissue, Bombay Connection)
Danny Paul Grody - Fountain (CD, Root Strata) 
Eagle's Breast - Assault and Flattery (CS, Razors & Medicine)
Eli Keszler - Oxtirn (LP, ESP-Disk') 
Evan Parker & John Wiese - C-Section (LP, Pan)
Geoff Mullen - Bongo Closet (CS / LP, Razors & Medicine / Type)
Jack Rose & Glenn Jones - The Things We Used to Do (DVD, Strange Attractors)
Jason Lescalleet - Fantasy and Electricity (7", Kye)
Keith Fullerton Whitman - Disingenuity b/w Disingenuousness (CS, Root Strata)
Keith Fullerton Whitman - Losing Everything b/w Four Oscillators Reverb Nice (7", No)
Kevin Drumm - S/T (2xLP reissue, Thin Wrist)
Loren Connors and Darin Gray - The Lost Mariner (LP reissue + 7", Family Vineyard)
Luc Ferrari - Ephemere (CD, Alga Marghen)
M Mucci - Time Lost (LP, Tall House)
Max Eastley - Installation Recordings (2xCD, Paradigm)
Rene Hell & Three-Legged Race - Violin Petal {Auden} / Whipped Secrets (LP, Arbor)
Tom Hamilton - Pieces for Kohn / Formal and Informal Music (2xCD reissue, Kvist)

Also, some folks were sweet enough to mention Sensual Square on a few lists themselves :
landing at #7 on John Twells' list for Boomkat, #1 on Brad Rose's list of top cassettes starting with 'R' for Self-Titled; and Cortical Migrations on Roger Tellier-Craig's list for Root Strata.

And be sure to check out Non-Event's year-end fundraising drive and podcast, for which I recorded and submitted a chunky slice of synth/tape music.
