IGLOO MAGAZINE | Best of 2015
“So here it is from ambient drone to post-rock, jazz and modern classical, from IDM to experimental to post-digital microsound; hallucinatory electronics to experimental soundscapery, candy-color post-kosmische to alien noise, intergalactic techno to post-hardcore mayhem and broken bass music, these are igloomag’s picks for the year…
There are sections, but these indicate nature, spirit, vibe and feel rather than a genre or sound and style. Of course, in some cases the releases are related in sound and style, but the list was just so big we wanted to facilitate the browse through without cramping style by boxing in with genre boundaries. It also recognizes the diversity of the list, which includes everything and post-everything.”
Martin Nonstatic Granite, AES Dana & Miktek Alkaline and the Digiseeds compilation are included in the first section. No winners or runners-up; all the sections are alphabetized by artist.
