REWIND 2018

A year of great reissues with some great current releases... a state of affair to mourn or is it just the way things will be like, regardless of any subjective affect involved?

But it has been a year of great books from Faber, Public Bath Press, Jawbone & Repeater so kudos to the shrinking industry/cabal of music criticism/history/journalism.

Asia has been great this year, with breakout release from Senyawa and Modern Sky Records pushing the underground from China out to the world, plus a few others from South Korea and Chinese overseas.

So here it goes:

METAL






ELECTRONIC 














ROCK?












MODERN SKY












Still from Modern Sky but still playing this year despite releases from last...
