Sing The Sorrow

My first CD bought in 2003, containing all the emo and angst a young boy/teenager could ask for. Maximum nostalgia will always keep this album safe on this list. Either Sing The Sorrow aged extremely well or I didn't. Either way, it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Polygondwanaland

Having found the Gizzverse later than I'd like to admit, Poly has stood out the furthest so far. Its polyrhythmic qualities, unorthodox time signatures, and instrumental/vocal harmonies are incredible. The overall complexity gives opportunities to notice new things with each listen, keeping it fresh and exciting. It is astounding that this was one of five albums released in 2017, a feature as awesome and absurd as their name itself.

Favourite tracks: Crumbling Castle, Polygondwanaland, Inner Cell, Horology, The Fourth Colour [First added to this chart: 06/04/2019]

To paraphrase "Luke" from YouTube comments, listening to this is like lucid dreaming about your childhood, letting your imaginations blissfully consume us in our play. You're aware that your adult waking life awaits, but you enjoy this state for a little while longer.

The D.A.N.C.E. party you never want to end. Next to Daft Punk, Justice is one of the most influential pioneers of electronic music. Cross is the result of fusing synth overdrive with slapping da bass
