Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesIn Rotation: Savage Beliefs
We are living in a golden age of crate digging. The latest exhibit - Chicago band Savage Beliefs, who tore up the '80s Hardcore scene for three short years before calling it a day. Alona's Dream has gathered all of the band's material into a new compilation called Big Big Sky. All-star producer Steve Albini helped transfer the tracks from the orginal masters. The music is as explosive as ever and is now in heavy rotation on CHIRP Radio!

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2015. Our next list is from DJ (Thursdays 3-6pm) Mauricio Reyes. Since it was released after my 2014 list was made... Black Messiah by D'Angelo (RCA)
I'm gonna put this one in it's own special category due to its late release last year. And it deserves its own category. I spent most of 2014 listening to "Voodoo" over and over again, so it was an early Christmas present for me when D'Angelo dropped this gift on to the world. Though the release date was rushed, which sounds kinda funny cause it took 15 years in between albums, the timing was impeccable and truly captured the moment that America was going through (and still is). The chaos in the music of "1000 Deaths" is the sound of the unrest that Michael Brown's death brought to the U.S. and the line in "The Charade" All we wanted was a chance to talk, 'stead we only got outlined in chalk, tugs at the hearts strings but Trayvon Martin... Tamir Rice... Freddie Gray... Walter Scott... Eric Gardner... LaQuan McDonald... This is not an album that will be remembered by its placement on lists in 2014 or 2015 but an album that will remain timeless. |
