422. The Furors – Ecce Furors (2013)
Nominated by Robbie of Homegrown.
ECCE FURORS gives New Haven, CT and the rest of the known world eight more gender-bending, category-defying reasons to fall in love with this quirky duo. ‘Don’t Make Me Kiss You,’ the opening track, begins with Tom Dans’ jangling tambourine and Derek Holcomb’s fuzz-toned guitar. The guys are having fun here, and they clearly communicate the feeling to the listener in the vocal harmonies. There is an urgency in their voices, and Tom’s harmony seems more in the foreground than on past recordings…The Furors and ThinManMusic have good reason to celebrate the release of ECCE FURORS. The Furors continue to be a treasure to New Haven musicians, writers and fans, and this disc is sure to please. Thank You Derek and Tom! Ladies and Gentlemen…BEHOLD THE FURORS! – Frank Critelli

430. Tricky – Maxinquaye [1995]
Nominated by Fluccs Capacitor of Time Moves Slow who says: This album is the equivalent of a red light bulb basement club in NY 96. Maxinquaye put you in a zone – darker than Massive Attack, the slowed grooves coupled with Marina Topely-Bird’s eerie vocals is an introspective trip.
