Best of 2005


Beyond Entertainment - Compilation of the Year
Beyond Entertainment - Compilation 2005

Mancunian Compilation of the Year

The votes are in for the award for the best compilation of or by a Mancunian artist or band, or by a Mancunian record label in 2005 (a total of 120 were cast). And the winner is...


Beyond Entertainment (51%)

"Beyond Entertainment proves one thing and that is that six years of late nights, kitchen gigs, unstoppable energy, stage invasions and indefatigable belief in a dream have all been worth it. Long may the Anarkhy continue." BBC Manchester

The others...

Power Overload (25%)

"Power Overload is possibly the most eclectic and vibrant mix of Mancunian music ever. If you packed it up and chucked it into the foundations of the next block of flats, it’d serve as the best time capsule going to let the future know exactly how we were using and abusing guitars at the tail end of 2005." BBC Manchester

Welsh Rare Beat (16%)

"The reality is that some may be put off Welsh Rare Beat simply because it is in Welsh. Those that are will be losing out. The freedom and beauty that the album gifts to any listener speaks across language barriers and is, quite simply, a genuine treat." BBC Manchester

Melodic Today (4%)

"Are they the coolest label in the country? If cool is walking your own path, searching out individuals to produce slices of genuine splendour, combining design and sound in significantly gorgeous way, then the answer, for the moment anyway, is probably yes." BBC Manchester

Supercity (4%)

"As disjointed and strangely intoxicating as the illusory conurbation that spawned it, Supercity the album is the sort of compilation that includes a little something for everyone. Be you the skater in the car park, the troubled teen in the graveyard, the grizzled turn at the bar or the new-moneyed penthouse shindig, Supercity has a home for you." BBC Manchester
