rednoW Favorites 2007
Life has a rhythm to it - the changing seasons (for those of us who live in a part of the world where they actually change) remind us that everything has its time. As 2007 comes to a close and 2008 stands at the door knocking with the unknown in tow, we here at rednoW are feeling that ‘tis the season to reflect on what caused us to wonder this year [yes that means we are wondering about wondering...we can't help ourselves].
We aren't making a ‘Best of 2007' list in the sense that this is an exhaustive list of all things good - it is simply what we happened to engage with in 2007 that has caused us to think more about what is going on in this world, in our lives and what's behind it all.
Albums
Thanks to transcendent sounds or depth of lyrics, each album grabbed us in some way this year and still has not let go. If you are looking for a way to bring a little wonder into your ear buds, allow us to make a few recommendations from the year that has been.
Compiled by the rednoW team (and friends), our Albums of Wonder 2007 are listed by US release date rather than some ranking of 'greateness' - if they made the list, we think they are worth your time and money. But do check back on New Years Eve when we announce our rednoW album (and film) of the year.
Think we missed something? Tell us what and why....we're all ears.
