Tracciare una parabola in un panorama assolutamente spezzettato come quello della musica attuale appare praticamente impossibile. Difficilmente oramai si genera qualcosa di nuovo strictu sensu, ma la peculiarità emerge da elementi del passato che vengono ripresi e riadattati. E’ il caso dei Daft Punk, come pure dei Fuck Buttons per quanto riguarda il revival elettronico, Tropic Of Cancer in riferimento alla wave più scura e flemmatica, Roly Porter o Boards Of Canada che recuperano una vena cinematica, Omar S che fa girare house o il folk-pop vellutato dei Goldfrapp.
Ecco dunque la mia top-40, i miei ep, ristampe preferite, ciò che di meglio ha offerto l’Italia e pure una selezione dei migliori concerti visti. Senza nessuna pretesa, prendetela come un consiglio per qualche ascolto. Niente di più, niente di meno.
