more votes for Black tempest from me, both Secret Astronomies & Supernormal Recordings are up there
Easily my album of the year is Kate Bush 50 Words For Snow, not quite as impressed with The Directors Cut
Pj Harvey Let England Shake woyld have been top if it wasn't for Kate Bush
White Hills HP1, not heard the live cd yet but I'm sure it would be here if I had
Bong - Beyond Ancient Space
Tim Hecker - Rave death 72
Current 93 - Honeysuckle Aeons reviews of this seemed lukewarm but I love it
Spaceship - Compendium another 2011 triple gem
John Fahey - Your Past Comes Back To Haunt You still taking this in, 5cds is way too big but this is a stunning release as anyone who has any Dust To Digital releases will now, time to start mentioning that huge wooden Babylon boxset thingy in connection with my birthday I think
Boris - Attention Please if they had released one cd instead of farting about over 3 they would probably have made 3rd place but of the 3 released Attention Please is the one that grabbed me most
felt rather let down by Caina - Hands That Pluck not bad but not as good as I was hoping and Oneida Absolute II is still sounding half baked to my ears, did that Aethenor En Form for Bla come out this year, rather let down by that too
I've spent more time this year buying old stuff than keeping up with what's new, and a lot of what I've heard that's new sounds like a rehash of Sabbath/Spacemen 3. As my most anticipated purchases of 2012 at the moment are the Phil Lynott box and the JAMC reissues I suspect I may need to broaden my horizons, luckily plenty of choice from the lists here plus things from 2011 I still want to hear Low,40 Watt Sun, A Winged Victory For The Sullen ,Cathedral live & the Haino/O'rourke release with the long title
edit late addition because I couldn't remember the title, always think its On Their Knees a la BOC but is fact
Delphic Vapours - Get Off Their Knees the Cluster to Black Tempests Tangerine Dream which reminds me that I shouls add the Owen Tromans CD to the to check list
also Skyrim soundtrack, not sure if this is commercially available but as it has been background music in our house for the last few months it has seeped into my brain

I've just got Kate's 50 Words, and I have to say it hasn't grabbed me yet. What is that track with The Elt all about? He sounds too much like his characature on the Impression Show for comfort - "Text me when the baby gets to Universiteeee!"...

BTW, I just had an idea for a new Spaceship album to be called "Why Won't You Just Die!".

no probs, you shouldn't release stuff so early in the year, I had to check to see if it was 2011, maybe you & Squid could combine in 2012 for a 4CD split to soundtrack Mayan Apocalypse December

I love that Elton song, best thing he's done in years,I've also never seen the Impressions show maybe I should youtube it.
Only thing I could pick fault with is Stephen Fry, because you can't get away from him at the moment, should have got Attila Csihar to do it

50 word for DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
ps best bits about 50WFS, the bit where sings about 'melting in her hands'
a delicate little piano riff just after she sings about 'leaves in the mouth' absolutely entrancing, I'm thinking of chopping that bit out and looping it continously until I'm rendered into cosmic dust by the approaching endtimes

You're going with the Mayan Apocalypse 2012 Zeitgeist then, this time next year I fully expect to be cosmic dust and I will be having serious words with the Mayan timekeepers if I'm not.
