Verve -Storm In Heaven (has it really been 17 years since its release? Simply staggering.)
Melvins- The Bride Screamed Murder (where they finally prove they are better than Led Zeppelin…GOD LIKE!)
Autechre- Mover Over Ten (unfathomably complex, beautiful and soulful in this their late period..)
Low- Things We Lost In The Fire (it’s like a warm bath for depression to dissolve in)
Hey Collosus And The Van Halen Time Capsule- Eurogrumble (sick occult-doom pysch out..terrifying and bracing!)
Robert Hood- Omega (tight electronic funk minatures from Detroit master..one of the great late albums)
Ital Tek- Midnight Colour (deep and textural bass-trix cuts..a true original)
Cagey House- Do The Magnet (eccentric and deeply melodic electronics from German mega-label Weird & Wired)
Seabuckthorn- A Mantra Pulled Apart (dustbowl desert-guitar epics an up and coming and vital musician)
Cocorosie- Grey Oceans (heart in mouth pretty, yet edgy and brittle…mmm in top 10 of the year probably.)
