The CyberNoise Directives 2019 (Best Of Year 2019)
The CyberNoise yearly lists are compiled from the music that has been played the most by the CyberNoise team this year, using various metrics including iTunes play counts, longevity, personal memory
and most importantly those albums still on rotation months after their release - they are in no specific order. This year was particularly hard with some really good new music from many artists
including the following that didn't quite make it:
There were also a couple of great reissues plus some Cherry Red compilations that just missed out on this year's top ten:
However, there can ultimately only be ten, so, well done to everyone on this year's top ten lists. Don't forget to support your favourite artists, either directly
or via the iTunes and Amazon links listed here. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Officially Released Live Video Awards 2019
With yet another year of lacklustre official live video releases (and no,
Depeche Mode's
SPiRiTS In The Forest
doesn't count, although that
was a
great "documentary") there are slim pickings to be had. However,
Soft Cell come to the rescue with an absolutely stunning
high definition recording of their one night, one final time, Say Hello Wave Goodbye gig at the O2 Arena, London recorded on the 30th September 2018…
