Good: Plaid, Nivhek, Weyes Blood, The Caretaker, Sharon Van Etten, Fennesz, Jessica Pratt, Aldous Harding, Chemical Brothers

OK: The National, Big Thief, Tim Hecker,Nils Frahm, Basinski, Son Volt

Meh: Deerhunter, Lambchop

The Caretaker - Everywhere at the end of time

Le Dom - Schism EP

zvλd - Enantiodromia

The Gasman - Epoxyethane

The new Plaid is pretty good. Don’t know for how long yet, though

I've been pretty busy with other things but the AE_LIVE thing of course and the new Biosphere (the Senja Recordings).

I'm still trying to catch up on 2018..

I've never really one to be on-the-ball with brand new albums. In fact I'm usually deep into stuff that's been released for years (Deerhunter, The Fall and those Pink Floyd Boxsets in particular atm).

I would say the new Underworld stuff, Nkisi, Fennesz and of course Polymer are my tip-top picks of 2019. I listened to that Sunn O Life Metal and was disappointed, and got so bored I don't think I even finished it! Sorry Satan.

I love/hate these threads. Apparently I live under a rock; where do you guys find this stuff?

Le Dom isn't on my radar at all - sounds like I better check that out right now.

You guys weren't joking about Le Dom.

Ha, I knew someone would say that. Fair point!

Le Dom EP is indeed great.

Need to check the new Biosphere, love the premise (Arctic island field recordings!!!)

Ekoplekz - Kirlian Visionz, some great jams on here with a nice variety in the ekoplekz styles.

Xosar - The Possessor Possesses Nothing (Lush techno with a psychedelic tribal feel... ruthless)

Polymer by Plaid

The Destroyer: 1 by TR/ST

Le Dom is super annoying music. 

I'll go with Bogdan

Good point haha.

I'll get one together tonight or Saturday. It's been a bit of a slower year than usual for me in terms of listening experience - I've a large backlog of material to catch up on. Bogdan's on there though. ;o

In no particular order, & since this is "releases" not specifically LPs or EPs...

BLUKE - Sense the Urgency

Concealed Sequence - A Form of Fusion

Meat Beat Manifesto - Opaque Couche

Dom IV - Remember EP

Velum Break - Bench Manoeuvres

Bendish (you!) - Tahtakale

Bogdan Raczynski - Rave 'Till You Cry

Lada Laika - Quiet Songs for Sad People on a Lonely Planet

Eryngi - Breath Bird

All brilliant releases IMO, enjoying thoroughly.

I'm so, so so so far behind in listening to music so I'm sure that list would change a bit with a few more added once I catch up.
