BEST REISSUE ALBUMS OF 2010 ( Part 1)

2010 is over and there were a lot of reissues for some classic albums. And here is my favorites of 2010, to be honest I don't particularly own this reissues but some of them are out of print and some of them are special deluxe editions.So if you don't own these albums, now it is the right time to buy this special editions, for some reason(i guess marketing) they are always better than the original...

10 - DOPPLEREFFEKT -GESAMTKUNSTWERK-1999




This is a real dirty electronic album and the man behind this record is Gerald Donald, it is originally recorded in 1999...It is so unhuman and kinky!


9- Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Orange - 1994




I was 17 when they made this album and I remember actually MTV was good back then. I recall the song Dang from this album was used for a cool music show at MTV, anyways this is Jon Spencer's perfect grungy&punky blues and probably their best.


8- The Cure - Disintegration -1989




The Cure is or was very important band in the alternative pop music history. They were unique in the 80's and this is their best album. This album helped them to become a cult band especially between teenagers . It was probably one of those rare albums it was o.k to listen by cool guys even the music was mellow and yeah, romantic. I don't remember spending a summer without listening in a pub "The Love Song". You must own this album even if you are not a fan and yeah I am not joking!


7-Robert Wyatt- Cuckooland -2003




Such a great work, beautiful Sunday morning record by Robert Wyatt.  It is a great production, once you start to listen this album , you feel like Robert Wyatt will come from next door to visit you to have some english tea and smoke some cigarettes... This is a man who knows where to stand all the times, that's a very good quality these days. The 5. song "Beware" goes like this, -Don't get caught off your guard.
Evil lurks in all our hearts/Just beware.





6 - Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street


Great cover, great rock&roll...


5- Glenn Branca - The Ascension


This is not just music, it is art we are talking about. New York was the heaven for underground music in the 70's and 80's. And there was Glenn Branca before Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. This man is a great talent but he is so underrated , it makes me angry sometimes... This is pure modern guitar art and totally avant-garde. It is originally released in 1981 and the new reissue is a limited edition.


Top 4 is ready!!!!
