Urban75 Album of the Year 1989

[belboid]

I had it down as Kronos Quartet / Pat Metheny. Did my vote count?

Annoyingly this has knocked Omni Sight Seeing off the list

ohh, ffs! If you cant decide who recorded the bloody thing!!! Anyone else?

It's now up to Number 7

Sorry belboid

It was recorded by the Kronos Quartet and Pat Metheny respectively. Composed by Steve Reich.

Might as well listen to it while checking the votes again to make sure you haven't missed any others, belboid

MIles Davis Aura the best of his 80s albums IMO. Tutu after that? Got to stop ordering music in lists.....

Just put on some Southends finest Snowboy and saw that his first album was from 1989 Snowboy & The Latin Section - Ritmo Snowbo
Always killer afro-cuban jazz - drums up front. All his albums are great tbh, this one maybe a touch more raw and trad than later? Just a touch. Exciting time..acid jazz label really taking off...uk live funk soul jazz etc scene with a lot of life in it

Turns out I have that "Boomerang" LP by The Creatures and it's great.

9 - The Creatures - Boomerang

Most of you obviously forgot how good this is, with our Siouxsie and that Budgie. One of two albums this year with a track called Manchild on it.

I even forgot that I had this on vinyl.

It's really good. Much better than all that punk nonsense
