Carrick is working on staying fit
I took my time in completing this goal. It was a good excuse to do some quality listening of the music I liked from 2004. Here is my top ten in alphabetical order by album title:
An honorable mention goes to Sigur Rós for their EP Ba Ba / Ti Ki / Di Do. It didn’t receive a very warm welcome, but I liked it. I like a band that’s willing to take risks and go in directions the fans don’t expect (or want). The three tracks have a real dynamic quality. The percussive vocal loops in Di Do are especially thrilling.

So this is the tenth in my list of the top ten albums of 2004. I hesitated to put this one on my list because, well, it’s good but not great. But then I remembered that this was my list of what I think are the ten best of 2004 and I had only a limited amount of time and resources to sample the year’s music. So I recognize that there is a lot more really great music out there. I just didn’t get to listen to it all. Anyway…
Dead Cities appeals to me because the music reminds me of Tangerine Dream and all the time I spent as a young teenager listening to TD in the dark basement of my mom’s house. All that adolescent angst tempered by the rich fuzzy electronic sound of Moog synthesizers and drum machines. Total nostalgia trip.

Wow. I first heard this album last week and I haven’t been able to stop listening to it. How to describe? Over on pitchforkmedia.com Brandon Stosuy writes, ”..vintage garage sound allows a definite space for ethereality in the form of funereal dew-drop strings, free jazz breakdowns, brief whiffs of AM radio tuning, flute minuets, lushly cascading pianos, prog time changes, florid medieval chimes, sky-melting freakouts, church organs, fuzz-guitar jousts, doubled mountain-top whistles, roaring six-string solos, and autumnal instrumental interludes.”
It’s been called Swedish psych- prog-rock. Whatever it is, it rocks! It definitely makes me want to play guitar in a really heavy band.

by The Bad Plus
For some reason I thought this album was released in 2003, but I was wrong. This is easily one of my favorite recordings of the year. The Bad Plus is a unique ensemble, mixing bebop, fusion, pop, and, yes, heavy metal (they cover Black Sabbath’s Iron Man) into their infectious kooky sound.
I love music, and it’s fun to discover stuff I’ve never heard. There was so much good indie music put out in 2004 that it was tough to choose.
1. The Finn Brothers – Everyone Is Here
2. Eveningland – Hem
3. When I Was Made – Edie Carey
4. It’s A Movie – Shane Nicholson
5. Virginia Creeper – Grant-Lee Phillips
6. Slow Wonder – A.C.Newman
7. A Ghost Is Born – Wilco
8. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb – U2
9. from a basement on a hill – Elliot Smith
10. Garden State Soundtrack – Various Artists
1. Madvillain—“Madvillany”
2. Arcade Fire—“Funeral”
3. Danger Mouse—“The Grey Album”
4. Interpol—“Antics”
5. Shadow Huntaz—“Corrupt Data”

8. !!!—“Louden Up Now”
9. TV on the Radio—“Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes”
