Mercury prize 2010: A dozen of the best to satisfy the judges

How slowly a year passes. It seems like only, ooh, 12 months ago that rapper Speech Debelle was first spotted on the 2009 Mercury prize shortlist. She went on to clinch the prize last September. Before her win, all that customary teeth-sucking talk about the Mercury curse (where the winners' careers subsequently jump off a cliff) had even begun to subside a little, thanks to the warm, fuzzy "Elbow effect". Pop justice was seen to be done when the manfully soppy Mancunian journeymen triumphed in 2008.

But what industry wags now refer to as "Speech Debacle" saw Debelle record the worst post-Mercury album sales any winner has ever seen. Betty Davis-If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up.

Photo by Sean Metalerkamp In a September 2008 interview, South African hip-hop changeling Waddy Jones-- performing with the conceptual act Max Normal at the time-- made a prediction about an upcoming rap project he was concocting. "Die Antwoord will be presented to the world as a wild and savage rap crew from the deep, dark, depths of Africa," he said.

Free Download: Wolf Parade - "Ghost Pressure" and "What Did My Lover Say" at PMA.

Wolf Parade’s seven years as a group have been seven years defining and perfecting a sound, a unique and stunning sound that doesn’t steal from the universe of Quebecois bands (of which they make up a vital part), but rather gives it a sharp, rapidly expanding edge.

With the two teaser tracks leading into the band’s third full-length album, Expo 86, due for release June 29, Wolf Parade have taken the strange, volatile energy we love them for and channeled it into songs that are denser, fuller, and more mature. “Ghost Pressure” is gentler, more electronic, driven by a computerized back beat, fleshed out with sharp guitar chords.

Then Jack Revill's smile spreads as wide as his quiff is high: "And by 'rich musical tradition', what he means is getting fucked up and partying.

" This combination of happy hedonism, Glaswegian humour and boundless enthusiasm for new dance music is threatening to destabilise London's gravitational pull and establish Glasgow as the country's pre-eminent raving city. The throng start trying to list the various clubs, labels and individuals that have come together to form Numbers, and quickly lose their place and have to start again.

So wrote Plato in The Republic (4.424c). And Plato is famous for having given what is perhaps the first theory of character in music, proposing to allow some modes and to forbid others according to the character which can be heard in them. Plato deployed the concept of mimesis, or imitation, to explain why bad character in music encourages bad character in its devotees.

The context suggests that he had singing, dancing, and marching in mind rather than the silent listening that we know from the concert hall. ATPFestival's Channel.
