The year of 2008 has seen many interesting musical acts, and I am by no means prophesying or indicating that this is an 'all inclusive' list. Rather, it is my own personal highlights in music and sound throughout the prosperous year of 2008!
We have 21 very exciting categories and winners with several dozen MP3/Lossless files to give you a preview into the albums that you will need to purchase on Amazon after you're done reading this post!

Without any further adieu... Let's get started!

Best Electro Remix:
This AMAZING mix from Angel Farringdon came on a promo from Bermuda Triangle Records out of the UK and deserves to get BLASTED on every dancefloor from here to Bristol!
Shahin Badar - Laila (Angel Farringdon Remix) [MediaFire]
Best Live Performance:
Simian Mobile Disco - Live @ Mezzanine_San Francisco CA USA (AUD) 2008-04-26

Best Live Comedian:
Robin Williams - Live @ Bimbos 365_San Francisco CA USA (AUD) 2008-04-14
This show was SOOOOO hilarious! He completely busted out someone taping with their cell phone... little did they suspect the core-sound binaurals near the back of the club... Here's the show released in it's entirety for the 1st time on the web (limited time, don't wait)!
Part 01 [MediaFire]
Part 02 [MediaFire]
What can I say, Justice remixes are more popular than silver 3 series in the city... Nevertheless, it is funny how they can still remix themselves better than anyone else (except for Boys Noize below...).
Justice - DVNO (Justice Remix)
Best Remix of Justice:
Just when you think you'll be sick if you hear another Justice remix... Boys Noize seem to have pulled absolutely zero punches and come out with a straight-forward fresh-sounding track when everyone else is sounding dated and unoriginal... Masterful!
Justice - Phantom pt.II (Boys Noize Unreleased Turbine)

Cheers for the list - You know I don't get out much and need to replenish my musical horizons (if that is conceptually possible but you get the point i hope) so I downloaded some 'Burial' (guilty as charged but I AM going to buy the real thing next week) and it is cool. You heard of Burial I trust? Anyway - I'm going to check out the rest of the list. Nice one - 'ave a top christmas if that is, indeed, possible.
Hey Steve, thank you for your comment! Cheers!
Also, please do feel free to stay up-to-date as I publish parts 2 & 3 of my 'Top 21 of 2008!'
Peas & Luv - Brian
