1 : Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport (ATP)


Tarot Sport is the second album from the two absolute gentlemen Mr Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power who make up Fuck Buttons. Tarot Sport introduced their Tech-Noise avant-gardia to a whole new expanding audience and in doing so have paved the way for alternative music. The success of Tarot Sport is a complete benchmark and demonstrates a sign of real change in the industry, I mean it’s an electronic drone record that has managed to get in the top ten of the NME chart, (above such ‘greats’ as Lily Allen and even Florence and the Machine) conquer Q and insight Telegraph readers let alone pretty much every other music top ten that’s worth mentioning.

Tarot Sport is a very important release and fully deserves the Middle Boop number one spot.

Thanks to all of the Boop writers, contributors, special thanks to Daniel for helping maintain the site and of course you, the readers for an amazing year. 2010 is already shaping up to be quite exciting.

A fine choice indeed for first. One of those albums that just keeps getting better and better - in fact, I may well listen to it on the way home today...
