Blockhead - Interludes After Midnight

Mohn - Mohn

Mohn? Granted it's no las vegas but (!)

And blockhead's just an amazingly consistent hiphop producer, no love for this inventive funky ass record?

Totally overlooked this! He's always been a bit underrated imo.

Kid Koala's album 12-bit Blues was pretty good too:

Vaervaf - Hipcatch

The Caretaker - Patience (After Sebald)

 

overrated RIP will surely win.

Oh woops, I thought Patience (After Sebald) came out in 2011. Change my Extra Patience nomination to Patience.

I second Vaervaf - Hipcatch

Forgot to nominate Kid Koala's 12-bit blues

And I'll nominate Matthew Friedberger's Matricidal Sons of Bitches again for good measure.

And overrated indeed. I just feel like I'm listening to Selected Ambient Works 85-92 (Deep Bass Remix).

I was thinking Patience was 2011 as well, but if its 2012 get my vote as well. Gorgeous album.

Also was Demdike Stare elemental 2012? If so that should be nominated, I dont think its as good as Tryptch but is still really fucking good.

I believe the 3rd and 4th EPs were out this year so I just counted the whole thing as if it wasn't fully released until the whole deal was out. Rose EP was by far the best one. Totally agree about Tryptych though.

Friday Syndrome was exceptional, so let's have it in there.

Iz gOod... Particularly like Arabic Acid.

But my vote's on Squarepusher - Ufabulum... Tom keeps on evolving and bringing us new sounds. The man's as sharp as ever.

can someone send me a usb drive with all of the music listed here? thanks. 160kbps is fine, for space saving purposes.

Most of my choices have almost certainly been mentioned by someone here, but in case it hasn't: NON - Back to Mono --excellent noise album.

1. Sharon Van Etten - Tramp
2. Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory
3. Four Tet - Pink
4. Swans - The Seer
5. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
6. Errors - Have some faith in magic
7. Deftones - Koi No Yokan
8. Grimes - Visions
9. RM Hubbert - Thirteen Lost & Found
10. Ametsub - All Is Silence

here's bleep top 10
