My 30K Last.fm song - Aerial - Youth and Student Travel

http://funkyimg.com/t2/162/762/30000.png

Since I still need to scribe some write-ups for some of the albums on my best of ‘07 list, I figured I’d post this.

Question marks (?) indicate artists that have stated they’re writing new material, but an ‘08 release is not definite; although, at an educated guess- I’d say an ‘08 release is likely.

Bold font are albums I’m looking forward to. Bold font plus red are albums I’m really looking forward to.

If there’s any mistakes please let me know. Feel free to post releases I’ve missed, also.

10 Years ~ Divisions

I forgot to write about some good CDs I recently bought ... actually I had almost no time to write this because of business trip and other events.

Mew - Frengers (2003)
http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZKM4ZM55L._AA240_.jpg
Mew is strong recommendation from some of my friends. When I listened their music first, I said to my friends about similarity between Mew and Sigur Rós (and suchlike musicians). But now I feel taste like Alternative Rock such as Superchunk from their music. Their music is lyric, and also very strong (catchy) song indeed. I think that their music has various factors I like, for example hard drums, solid ( or sometimes fragile) guitar sound and charming singing voice. Actually I quite often listened their music.
Although I like all of this album, "Snow Brigade" is one of my favorites in this album.

Efterklang - Tripper (2004)

Beautiful electric sounds, whispering voices and pleasant melodies played at a leisurely pace. …
