I think Adem has a covers album just out or about to be released. Anyway, Homesongs gets my vote, just heartbreakingly lovely.

i think the new Four Tet EP "Ringer" is better than any of the releases i've heard from this list.

I like Pause

I love Fridge's 'Semaphore', some quite properly nice ramshackle bits on that. Also Four Tet's 'Paws' EP was pretty badass...a lither, more agile beast than it's album namesake. 'Happiness' is just about the best on this list overall though. Beautiful record.

I've not heard everything on this list by any means (never investigated Fridge much), but my favourite thing I have heard is probably Pause.

Rounds edges out Pause for me, but I haven't heard the new EP (or the new covers album by Adem).

It's going to be one of the Fridge albums for me. I know Happiness is good, but I think I used to prefer Sevens & Twelves. I'll have to re-listen.

I'm not a fan of Adem whatsoever.

I get the feeling not many people are voting here...

I'm going for Rounds after some thought. The nearly 10 minutes of "Unspoken" are just awesome, my favorite thing he's done, perhaps. I'm guilty of not having heard all the Fridge stuff yet, but will seek it out in time.

happiness followed closely by EPH

Rounds blows everything else out of the water for me. It was one of my favorite albums of 2003.

rounds. i like everything ecstatic too, but i haven't heard much else on this poll (just the most recent steve reid thing, i think).

― Jordan, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 21:55 (seventeen years ago)

My favorites are "Dialogue" and "The Exchange Sessions" with Steve Reid.

― Dan S, Thursday, 29 May 2008 02:14 (seventeen years ago)

EPH
