Albums of the Decade - 42. Four Tet - Morning / Evening (2015)

42. FOUR TET - MORNING / EVENING (2015) 

Unbelievable E.P. but apparently it's an album. This artist could well and truly have made the album of the decade with one of his other efforts. Let's focus on this one for now - all will be revealed soon.

Morning pays tribute to the artists Indian heritage - with a stunning vocal that comes in over a clementinian beat and lasts 20 minutes. I used to play this track when I DJ'd at Bobwundaye each Thursday in Taipei - it really allowed me to speak to other people and get away from the decks.

Evening wavers organically, recalling Animal Collective, before giving some more mesmerising Indian opera vocals. Consequently, beats come in freeflow like evening rain. Consequently, moreover, furthermore, in essence, on the whole, in a nutball.

Albums of the Decade - 45. Cornershop - Cornershop & the Double 'O' Groove Of (2011)

45. CORNERSHOP - CORNERSHOP & THE DOUBLE 'O' GROOVE OF (2011) 

Cornershop gave a great Punjabi album here. It's the best band name in history maybe. Famous for Brimful of Asha in the nineties, I've tried to enthuse to so many people about the validity of the statement that they're one of the best British bands of their generation, but I usually get curried for it.

There is an inherent funk to this LP that has to be span to be experienced. The intensity and then looseness and sheer smorgasbord of colour on this teapot effort sends Darjeeling down my spine. I used to chuck a couple of these cuts on, when DJ'ing in Taipei and it always raised an eyebrow, while it shimmied my hips. I wanted to sway with the yoga teacher after the picnic we'd had - have a red wine and then go back to mine. Of course not gonna bed her to this music or she would've curried me for it.
