#890 Death in Vegas – The Contino Sessions

Death in Vegas released their second album, The Contino Sessions, of electronica music toward the end of 1999. Another unknown band to me. I think a lot of the unknown bands are from England and they did not make it off the island. The first song “Dirge” was excellent. It starts small and it get grows gigantic […]

#889 Nitin Sawhney – Beyond Skin

Who is Nitin Sawhney? I had no idea when I saw his name on the list. His fourth album Beyond Skin, which focuses on nuclear weapons was released in 1999. There is hope that the album will be interesting since it is downtempo and drum & bass. I found “Tides” to be pleasant since it was […]

#888 Beth Orton – Central Reservation

There are so many artists like Beth Orton on this list of 1001 Albums… I have heard of them, but I have never listened to their music. Central Reservation is her second studio album. This list is also full of English singer-songwriters so it gets a bit tiring listening to them. Orton is known for her […]

#887 Slipknot – Slipknot

I can already tell you that I hate Slipknot and their eponymous debut album. I started listening to it before I could gather any information to write about them. Their genre is nu metal. This will be the shortest review yet. I hate the screaming. It sounds like he has something big in his throat […]

#886 Travis – The Man Who

I almost forgot how much I liked Travis. It is one of the bands I discovered because of my best friend Pál Tamás: The Man Who Ghosted Me After Years of Friendship. The Man Who is their second album of Post-Britpop songs. Fran Healy is the genius of the band and his vocals are so sweet. I have […]

#885 The Magnetic Fields – 69 Love Songs

Finally, there is an album 69 Love Songs that I know. The Magnetic Fields formed in 1989, but they have yet to have a radio hit. I guess they have more of an underground following. This album moves away from their synth pop sound a bit. It is a concept album of 69 love songs. Magnetic Fields […]

#884 Incubus – Make Yourself

Incubus has been described as hard rock, nu-metal, and many other genres. I have never heard any of their music. I cannot wait for the 2000s because I know much more of the music. Make Yourself was their third studio album. The first song “Privilege” does not sound as hard as I thought it would sound. That […]

#883 Skunk Anansie – Post Orgasmic Chill

British band Skunk Anansie released their third album Post Orgasmic Chill in 1999. I never listened to them because I knew I did not want to hear another angry chick screaming. I sort of liked two songs “Secretly” and “I’m Not Afraid”, but I do not like Skin’s voice enough to add it to my list […]

#882 XTC – Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC came out with Apple Venus Volume 1 in 1999. It was their 13th studio album. They released Apple Venus Volume 2 in 2000 and to date that was their last album. I wish it was not true, but it seems we will never get a reunion. Sadly, this album is not available on Spotify or […]

#881 Suba – São Paulo Confessions

São Paulo Confessions sounds more like a book of short stories or something from late night television on HBO than the name of an album. Suba was a Serbian-born musician who became a famous producer in Brazil. I had when I have a feeling that I will not like an album before I listen to […]
