Autechre - Exai

William Basinski - Nocturnes

Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest

CHATMM Vol 3: Winter Carvings

Casey Collier - Litmuses: Episode F

Miles - Unsecured

forgot to mention Karl Hyde's Edgeland... Really rather beautiful solo effort

Lots of people mentioning MBV. I really liked that album at 1st but it never really called me back to play it much so kinda concluded I actualy wasn't that into it... Maybe about time I gave it some more listens

Hmm, er:

Ceephax - Cro Magnox

Autechre - Exai

Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience

PVT - Homosapien

Plus the usual boc, mbv whatever.. I haven't listened to too much stuff from this year!

Also deserving of a mid-year vote are:-

Jon Hopkins - Immunity

Stornoway - Tales from Terra Firma

Foals - Holy Fire

Oh shit, yes the Foals album is great. I forgot about it because none of my friends here are into them.

EOD - Volume One

CN - Voyages

The Druggler - 2 Oscillators No Release

Fah - Fahzers Set To Earth

Photodementia - Fig.04c

I've never got into yearly lists, I always read everyone elses but I can't focus on mine. I don't have a toadstool I stick just that years albums under, if you get my drift.

I've to add Billy Woods' - "Dour Candy" to my list. I've been playing it all Day long...
