Albums from Ireland during the zeros I've really liked:
Hystereo - Corporate Crimewave
Mic Christroper - Skylarkin'
Afro-Celt Soundsystem - Anatomic
Imelda May - Love Tattoo
Jape - Ritual
And anything by Rónán Ó Snodaigh or Kíla (maybe Gamblers' Ballet in particular).
The Big Romance by David Kitt deserves a mention.
My Top Ten [no particular order] for a variety of reasons..........
The Duckworth Lewis Method - Neil Hannon and Pugwash [new I know, but excellent]
Music in Mouth - Bell XI [better than Flock]
For the Birds - The Frames [agree with what was siad previously]
SkyLarkin - Mic Christopher [mostly sentimental reasons]
The Prayer Boat - Polichinelle [brilliant, think it was just about sneaks in 2000/2001]
Hal - Hal [stands up well in fairness, Play the hits still a fantastic song]
The Chalets - Check In [was great fun]
JJ72 -JJ72 [even with Greaney's whingy vocals, some great tunes]
Mark Geary - 33 1/3 grand Street [if only for Volunteers]
The Tycho Brahe - Love Life [surprised it hadn't been mentioned]
They were a great band. "Play the Hits" is one of the best Irish songs of the decade.Quote:
