1999 has been a funny old year for albums; as well as the inevitable disappointments and under-performing releases, there have been seminal releases from Shack, the awesome ‘The Contino Sessions’ by Death In Vegas and Mogwai‘s ‘Come On Die Young’.
Super Furry Animals, Royal Trux and Beck have kept standards of excellence high as have a plethora of artists from Add N To (X) to Alec Empire‘s solo album ‘Miss Black America’. They think it’s all over?
