The Quietus 100 Albums of 2013

Something extralong, something different. British online magazine The Quietus made its list of 100 best albums of 2013. It just takes first mesmerizing notes of #1 Grumbling Fur's Glynnaestra (listen to The Ballad of Roy Batty by night and you'll see things that you people wouldn't believe) to make you realize this is not the usual end-of-year chart. Album titles are another good exotic evidence of the new world opening in front of your Spotify account: Dansktoppen Møder Burkina Faso I Det Himmelblå Rum Hvor Solen Bor, Suite at #8, Cień Chmury Nad Ukrytym Polem at #12, Yeezus at #13 (kidding! this one is not so rare and exotic), Valonielu at #53, Racial Golf Course No Bitches at #77, Wölfbait at #83, the unfortunately not available Sucks Cocks In Hell at #100. There's even a tiny bit of beloved little Italy in the Top 20 (Teho Teardo album Still Smiling, recorded with Blixa Bargeld). Go to The Quietus for full infos about each album. And/or listen to them in the playlists below.

Enjoy.
