Favourite non-2011 albums in 2011

Just for fun, what were your favourite albums you got into last year, but weren't released last year?

I only ask enjoyed far more stuff from yesteryear than 2011 releases.

Looks like there's no electronic stuff in my list, but I loved these:

Queen - Queen II

The Sword - Gods of the Earth

Acid King - Busse Woods

Sleep - Holy Mountain

Tommy Dorsey & Frank Sinatra - Complete Sessions 6LP set

Syntonic Research, Inc. - Environments 11LP set

wow, big boxsets!

I'm always late with releases so most of what I listen to is never released in the year it was released:

The Smiths - Louder than Bombs

Squarepusher - Ultravisitor

Portishead - Third

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral

Xiu Xiu - Fabulous Muscles

Hmmm... I had a rough year. I think it shows :P

for me

Mr. Fingers - Introduction

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

Theo Parrish - First Floor

Plenty, but one that comes to mind right now is Kohn - Koen. Some of it is reminiscent of endless summer era Fennesz. Great beats in places too.

Ahh yes I have been listening to a lot of Mastodon. Remission and Lethiaven in particular.

Plus a lot of Clark, Totems Flare especially.

carlos giffoni - eternal noise

suum cuique - midden

bvdub - one last look at the sea

grimes - halfaxa

plat - compulsion

Aphex Twin - Cummerbund Radix

Autechre - Dodecede

Boards of Canada - Last Lunar Mission

Since November I've been listening to one CD from the Merzbox followed by one random CD by another artist followed by another CD from the Merzbox. I'm about to hit 1990s Merzbow.

I go through music so fast these days I seldom listen to anything more than a couple times in a year, but some memorable listens this year have been:

Mark Fell - Multistability

Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks...

ohGr - Devils In My Details

This album WTFed me out when it first came out, and as a result I keep coming back to it and like it more and more. It's one of the murkiest, ugliest sounding albums of all time.

Wolves In The Throne Room - Celestial Lineage

Merzbow - Frog

Merzbow - 1930

I honestly just can't remember what i was listening to the last year before getting into Merzbow in the second half, aside from a few new releases.
