I might have to take you up on that at some point. You're the only person to rate a couple of those! Loving what I've managed to get a hold of so far, though.

Without thinking too much Ariel Pink, Joanna Newsom and Alva Noto are amongst my favourites.

Nice! Garment (For A Garment) is a killer tune. Been considering the album for while, thanks Sanshee.

Yes, great stuff. Does need to make packaging a bit more user friendly though. And reduce his blimmin prices just a tad!

Not arf mate, may have to go for iTunes version to pick up For 2 because the CD is proper highway robbery.

Which album(s) were you referring to as your AOTY?

I might have to edit and add to this list, because I've heard so many great new records and CDs this year. I think this has been a truly vintage year for music - I can't remember a year for a long time where I've listened almost excusively to new recordings as opposed to digging into the archives.

Demdike Stare - Forest of Evil
Serpentina Satelite - Meccanica Celeste
Imaginary Softwoods - S/T
White Hills - S/T
Gnod Drop out With White Hills
Solus 3 - The Sky Above the Roof
Wolf People - Steeple
Eleh - Observations and Momentum
Eleh - Location Momentum
Expo 70 - Where Does Your Mind Go?
Teeth of the Sea - Hypnoticon
Arp - The Soft Wave
Sun Araw - Off Duty
Skjolbrot - Maersk
Mark McGuire - Tidings/Amethyst Waves
High Wolf - Shangri L.A.
Endless Boogie - Full House Head
Emeralds - Does It Look Like I'm Here?
Double Leopards - Halve Maen


A big end-of-year shout to the wonderful Apollolaan Recordings for some simply great releases. My only regret is that I didn't buy more of them before they sold out! The ones I was lucky enough to get included:

Carol Anne McGowan - Songs From The Cellar
Spaceship - Out Of Time's Abyss
Stormhat - From The Moat
Susan Matthews & Clutter - Silence Alight


And heartfelt thanks to the couple of you who have mentioned Proxima and Ex Proxima, I'm chuffed. I never thought I'd be in a top ten list 8-)

Ariel Pink's 'Before Yesterday' Joanna Newsome's 'Have One on Me' and For 2 the Alva Noto one.

Now, got to seek out what else I liked.

Oh 'Sleepwalkers' by David Sylvian springs to mind. But does it count, as it's a comp?

Liked it regardless!
