1. KODE9 & THE SPACEAPE- BLACK SUN
This album fuses spoken-word poetry with dub music. The spoken-word voice of The Spaceape carries reggae, ragga and so much utter conviction, that one can't help but pout their lips in approval.
This is the ultimate collaborative album. Steve Goodman is the man behind the project, - he's Kode9 - and the illustrious Hyperdub record label that includes Burial. And he's Scottish. This music however reminds me of London so much that it's no wonder he relocated there. There's no bagpipes on this one.
This takes the crown this year, because from top to bottom this album remains edgy, energising and thematic. Radiation is the theme here. So put on your suncream, top up your tan and happy new year!
