(Silence) Kruder & Dorfmeister - K&D Sessions (!K7) Herbert - Around the House (Phonography) Wagon Christ - Tally Ho! (Personal) Cardigans - Gran Turismo (Stockholm) Global Goon - Cradle of History (Rephlex) Metamatics - Neo Ouija (Pvine/Clear) Air - Moon Safari (Source) Jurassic 5 - J5 (Pan) Money Mark - Push the Button (Mo Wax) . Most appreciated debut: Richard Coleman Devine on Schematic. Fresh, groovy and crunched as all fuck. Those who are into Gescoms Keynell EP MUST check this one out. . Biggest disappointment: Warp releasing downright junk like Mira Calix or Max Tundra. . Best sleevedesign: East Flatbush Project compilation (DR), Bj=F6rk/Funkst=F6rung (DR), Massive Attack - Mezzanine/Singles 92-98 (Tom Hingston & Robert Del Naja), Hansson & Karlsson compilation (Kingston), Bob Hund LP (Martin Kann). . The sadest thing of 98:=20 The demise (?) of Clear. At least the absence of releases. . The most embarassing thing of 98:=20 The pathetic "Chinese Whispers" from Sprawl which was a blueprint of Dot's "Endlessnessism" concept. I don't even WANT to hear the album. . My fave album of the year not released in 98:=20 KLF - Chill Out. . Public person of the year: Johan Ehrenberg, Noam Chomsky. . Film of the year: Fucking =C5m=E5l (Lukas Moodyson), Festen (Tomas Vinterberg), Idioterna (Lar= s Von Trier).
