'Tis the season for Top 10 lists, and there's no shortage of Nonesuch artists among the critics' choices for Best of 2008; the Nonesuch Journal will bring you the complete round-up next week in our year-end report. In the mean time, at the risk of being unseasonably un-humble, we would like to point out a different sort of best-of mention: The Independent (UK) has named Nonesuch.com one of the Top 10 Music Websites of the Year.
'Tis the season for Top 10 lists, and there's no shortage of Nonesuch artists among the critics' choices for Best of 2008; the Nonesuch Journal will bring you the complete round-up next week in our year-end report. In the mean time, at the risk of being unseasonably un-humble, we would like to point out a different sort of best-of mention: The Independent (UK) has named Nonesuch.com one of the Top 10 Music Websites of the Year, joining the rather diverse ranks of Pitchfork, Hype Machine, Radiohead, and Kanye West.
Writes The Independent's Larry Ryan:
Earlier this year, I took my first, tentative steps into discovering the confusing world of "new music" by purchasing a Steve Reich retrospective from Nonesuch Records. The label's website thankfully aids such introductions by streaming vast swaths of its back catalogue, which extends beyond new music, into alternative pop and rock, jazz, classical, world and soundtracks. It makes for some impressive and fascinating listening.
