I fucking love ASC, but he did no beats, really? Prob still amazing.

He previously put out an ambient/soundscape LP called "The Light That Burns Twice As Bright" that's stunning.

Dude's a virtuoso.

this track is #1 on my best 15 of 2013

Laurel Halo's Chance of Rain is probably my favorite of the year, haunting, mental, beautiful.

Also Deltron Event II was really QG despite the ridiculous layoff & build up. Automator & co. still got it, and if ppl are gonna bandy around Random Access Mammaries & Kenny West then fuck it, I'm nominating Deltron.

WATMM's top 5 will defiantly be BoC, Ae, OPN, Tim Hecker, & Machinedrum; just a matter of what order they come in.

Floorplan - Paradise

Compound Eye - Journey From Anywhere

Red Stars Over Tokyo - Melody Attack

Legowelt ‎- Gilga 1

Palm Highway Chase - Escape From New York

Ishome - Confession

John Beltran - Amazing Things
