My Top Albums of 2011: Number 15

System 7 – Up

Influenced greatly by the Berlin music scene, System 7 (i.e. 70’s guitar legend Steve Hillage & partner Miquette Giraudy) deliver positive, hypnotic & dreamy ambient electronica. With Hillage’s guitar playing reminiscent of his ‘Fish Rising’ solo era, there is subtly processed weirdness throughout the album that presents a refreshing take on psychedelia in modern dance music.
