Not "original' albums, but they're so great! A CERTAIN RATIO『ACR:BOX』(compilation), DAVID BYRNE『American Utopia On Broadway』(live album), THE POP GROUP『Y』(deluxe reissue), PREFAB SPROUT『I Trawl The Megahertz』(used to be a solo album by Paddy McAloon and reissued as a group's album), PRIMAL SCREAM『Maximum Rock 'n' Roll: The Singles』(compilation), R.E.M.『Monster』(deluxe reissue).
I'm not using Apple Music, Spotify or any music subscription services, so I'm still buying many singles (single track albums) and EPs. As for the latter, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION(Japanese band)「Dororo」, FOUNDLINGS「Foundlings」, JUSTIN COURTNEY PIERRE「Open Mic At The Lo-Fi, Vol. 1」, LOLA IN SLACKS「Postscript In Blue」, NOEL GALLAGHER「This Is The Place」and all Creation 23's 7"s, they are top ones.
Hoping '20s'd be better than '10s for music.

I enjoyed many concerts in 2019, especially impressed by... TEENAGE FANCLUB (02/04 Zepp DiverCity Tokyo), TUNE-YARDS (02/21 Shibuya WWW X), THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN (05/19 Shinkiba Studio Coast), AMERICAN FOOTBALL (07/28 Fuji Rock Festival), THE CURE (07/29 FRF), STELLA DONNELLY (12/11 Shibuya Club Quattro), SPITZ (Japanese band, 12/14 Saitama Super Arena).
Goodbye Tens, as YAZOO sings "Goodbye Seventies" in 1982... How does technology change the way of music's created, expressed and heard? I'm always interested.
