Zombie\u2019s vocals garner their power as Yseult\u2019s singable riffs find a foil in Tom Five\u2019s guitar snarls and lock in with Ivan de Prume\u2019s drumming. Bill Laswell\u2019s work on <i>Make Them Die Slowly<\/i> sometimes obscures the catchier riffs, but on that album and the <i>God of Thunder<\/i> EP, you can feel the elements snapping into place. <i>It Came From NYC<\/i> stands as a an interesting curio of the art-damaged scene that gave the band life and hints at the metal juggernaut they\u2019d become. <strong>RS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/the_feelies-only_life.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5377\" src=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/the_feelies-only_life.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/the_feelies-only_life.jpg 200w, https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/the_feelies-only_life-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>#9<br \/>\nThe Feelies<br \/>\nOnly Life<br \/>\nBar None Records<\/h4>\n<p>With The Feelies now back in action, Bar\/None Records reissued the two albums the band originally made for A&amp;M Records, 1988\u2019s <i>Only Life<\/i> and 1991\u2019s <i>Time for a Witness<\/i>, on vinyl and CD this year. Though the remastering vastly improves the sound of both records (they were released during the dark ages of CD sound), the former still sticks out as the band\u2019s magnum opus. It sparkles with buoyant post-Velvets jangle, while singer Glenn Mercer delivers existential aphorisms belied by their simplistic motifs. \u201cHigher Ground\u201d is <i>On the Road<\/i> condensed to a four-minute pop song, while \u201cThe Undertow,\u201d as its title suggests, is imbued with an undeniable gravitational pull. Even better, \u201cFor Awhile\u201d is a coming of age tale\u2014not from adolescent to adult, but perhaps adult to grown-up. That the band\u2019s superb cover of VU\u2019s \u201cWhat Goes On\u201d seems like an addendum of sorts speaks to the strength of this record; in short, <i>Only Life<\/i> is a classic. <strong>SS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/the_fall-hex_enduction_hour.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5378\" src=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/the_fall-hex_enduction_hour.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/the_fall-hex_enduction_hour.jpg 200w, https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/the_fall-hex_enduction_hour-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>#8<br \/>\nThe Fall<br \/>\nHex Enduction Hour<br \/>\nSuperior Viaduct<\/h4>\n<p>If there&#8217;s one silver lining from 2016, it\u2019s that a curmudgeon like Mark E. Smith can survive, and thanks to Superior Viaduct, who has taken on a thorough re-issue campaign of The Fall&#8217;s polarizing and vast catalog, the world can re-educate themselves with the chaotic art-punk masterpiece <i>Hex Enduction Hour<\/i>. It\u2019s a record that comes out caustic and kicking from the start \u2014\u201cHey there fuck face!\u201d\u2014and then manages to swing and lurch and scrawl all over the rules of what art is and what punk is. If The Fall even has an entry point, <i>Hex Enduction Hour<\/i> is it. The abstract sketches and subversive melodies of guitarists of Marc Riley and Craig Scanlon reach a creative peak here, as does Smith\u2019s pointed vitriol, sharp and messy on the jangle pop of \u201cJust Step Sideways\u201d and steely and bitter on \u201cWho Make\u2019s the Nazis?\u201d In retrospect, it\u2019s dense and (dare say) heady, with chunks of noise splattered in its moody crevasses, but also stoic, even solemn, a minimal-maximalist tug-o-war with every note. Though they begat Pavement, Nirvana, and the Boredoms, The Fall will never be normalized, and <i>Hex Enduction Hour<\/i> is proof the most influential records still have magic to discover. <strong>KJE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/stillinadream.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4444\" src=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/stillinadream.jpg\" alt=\"Still In a Dream\" width=\"200\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/stillinadream.jpg 250w, https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/stillinadream-202x300.jpg 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>#7<br \/>\nVarious Artists<br \/>\nStill In a Dream: A Story of Shoegaze 1988\u20131995<br \/>\nCherry Red Records<\/h4>\n<p>Despite the somewhat pejorative tag, the shoegaze era was responsible for a sound that resonated long after it seemingly dissipated. Taking cues from the psychedelic era, but eschewing the tired hippie cliches for a modern, demure coolness, it appealed to a new generation looking to turn on. With the rush of unhinged guitars, shoegaze was at once visceral and heady. Cherry Red Records\u2019 superb five-disc <i>Still In a Dream: A Story of Shoegaze 1988\u20131995<\/i>, captures the era with tracks from leading lights like Ride, Lush, Cranes, Chapterhouse, Swervedriver, and Slowdive, as well as lesser-heard bands such as Whipping Boy, Nightblooms, and The Charlottes, and American kindred spirits Galaxie 500, Velocity Girl, Swirlies, and The Lilys. Though My Bloody Valentine is conspicuously absent, this is an amazing volume of music from an amazing time. <strong>SS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/flesh_eaters-forever.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5379 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/flesh_eaters-forever.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/flesh_eaters-forever.jpg 200w, https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/flesh_eaters-forever-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>#6<br \/>\nThe Flesh Eaters<br \/>\nForever Came Today<br \/>\nSuperior Viaduct<\/h4>\n<p>While The Flesh Eaters were capable of burning rubber with the best of LA\u2019s \u201980s punk scene, what sets them apart from the pack and makes them worth re-investigating some 30 years on is visionary frontman Chris Desjardins. Capable of shifting from a hellfire scream to a beguiling croon, and offering lyrics dripping with pulp\/noir illusions and graveyard poetics, Chris D. took punk to a new level of artistry that was almost cinematic in nature. And while some might argue that <i>A Minute to Pray, a Second to Die<\/i> is the high-water mark, I\u2019ll contend that <i>Forever Came Today<\/i> is the band\u2019s best album. It\u2019s big, brash, brutal, and more sonically focused than the pastiche that is <i>Minute to Pray<\/i>, undeniably compelling. Combine the album\u2019s musical ferocity with Desjardins\u2019 mangled, elegiac soul-searching and you essentially have a masterpiece on your hands. Superior Viaduct is doing a true service keeping both of these early Flesh Eaters records in print, but if you have to pick one of the two, I\u2019d make it <i>Forever Came Today<\/i>. <strong>NK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/betty_davis-the_columbia_years.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5384\" src=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/betty_davis-the_columbia_years.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/betty_davis-the_columbia_years.jpg 200w, https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/betty_davis-the_columbia_years-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>#5<br \/>\nBetty Davis<br \/>\nThe Columbia Years 1968\u20131969<br \/>\nLight in the Attic Records<\/h4>\n<p>Betty Davis has long been one of the more under-appreciated figures in music. Her lack of commercial success kept her a cult footnote until 2007, when the Light in the Attic label began reissuing her records. They even unearthed an unreleased fourth album, seemingly exhausting the vaults. But there were also rumors of a session with her then husband, Miles Davis, for Columbia that had never seen the light of day. Miraculously, Light in the Attic discovered and released selections of those sessions this year as <i>The Columbia Years 1968\u20131969<\/i>. The bulk of the release was co-produced by Miles and Teo Macero and includes performances from Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin, Billy Cox (Band of Gypsys), Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience), Harvey Brooks, Wayne Shorter, and Larry Young. There are also another three tracks from a separate session produced by Hugh Masekela and featuring members of The Jazz Crusaders. The album is the sound of Betty, literally and figuratively, finding her musical voice. The Miles session band didn\u2019t rehearse prior to the tape rolling so you can hear them working towards something, with the added bonus of hearing both Miles and Betty on studio chatter. It\u2019s a fun look at the earliest glimpse of the latter day Betty as well as the seeds of what would become <i>Bitches Brew<\/i>. It\u2019s a delightful surprise. <strong>DSH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/larry_levan.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5380\" src=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/larry_levan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/larry_levan.jpg 200w, https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/larry_levan-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>#4<br \/>\nLarry Levan<br \/>\nGenius of Time<br \/>\nUniversal Music<\/h4>\n<p>New York DJ and producer Larry Levan\u2019s wide-ranging taste and curatorial mind, fused with his understanding of what works on any track he worked on, planted powerful roots in dance music that still bear fruit some 30 years later.

Give Allan Wachs\u2019 \u201cMountain Roads\u201d a spin. What is most common in these songs is that essential element of great country music: solitude.

Fortunately for us, this year, the always reliable Numero Group gathered up the entirety of The Scientists\u2019 recorded output and bundled it with a newly unearthed live recording and a 64-page booklet.
