The Nominees:
- Bedrock - Plastic Temptation

- Hamid Drake & Bindu - Reggaeology
- John Zorn - The Goddess (Music For The Ancient Of Days)
- Marco Benevento - Between the Needles and Nightfall

And the winner is...John Zorn - The Goddess (Music For The Ancient Of Days)
After my complaint about hip hop albums not really being hip hop albums at the core, it's kind of hypocritical that I'm giving this award to a jazz album that isn't really a jazz album at its core, but John Zorn created an absolutely beautiful album in The Goddess.
