Alright, as we near the end of this first Y2K decade, it's time to take a look back at all the best Albums that have been released in the last 40+ years.

I'll start off this extensive research with 2000, up until 2009. I'll then go back to 1980, all the way up to 1999, to then wrap things up with the 70s and before.

I'll be choosing my Top 25 Albums for each year; an ordered Top 10, and ~15 others worth mentioning. I'm also considering the live albums and EPs (~5), but they have their own section since songs on these have usually been released on official releases. The final result will be a Top 1000 for Official Albums, and Top ~250 for Live/EP albums.

These are general rankings of how I see them today, and based on my Last.FM songs playcounts (2005-now) put through the formula:

Total Sum of each Album's Song's (running time X playcount)

Album's Total Running Time

Leæther Strip - Retention no2 (2008) [EBM/ Dark Electro]
8/10
Клаус Ларсен, похоже, решил последовать примеру своего младшего коллеги Руди Ратцингера и начать массовый выпуск всевозможных переизданий и "лимитед едишн". Вот один из таких продуктов и попал мне в руки.

Retention no2 - это двухдисковое издание, содержащее в себеремастированный классический альбом Science for the Satanic Citizen (1990) и новые версии этих же треков на втором диске - Science For The Satanic Spawn.

Science for the Satanic Citizen: Околоиндустриальная музыка конца 80х - начала 90х - едва ли не самый интересный период всего жанра в целом. Ведь именно тогда зародились основы большинства сегодняшних направлений. И данный альбом - весьма интересный образец в совем стиле. Мощные биты, едкие мелодии, пульсирующий бас и редкие, но меткие гитарные риффы - вот те самые корни не только :W:, но и целой орды нынешних похожих друг на друга как две капли воды дарк-электро команд. …

Kiko Loureiro
Я заказала через Союз альбом No Gravity, но его очень долго не везли. А потом, после посиделки в Белфасте по случаю моего ДР, шестое чувство повело меня в Пурпурный Легион, где этот альбом оказался в наличии. Счастью не было предела))
