One of my NY resolutions is to say more spontaneous nice things.

Good luck.

i've been supprised by how many lists (online and in magazines and stuff) have left off Animal Collective. I've seen "top 50" lists which dont mention Centepede Hz at all. I guess it might be cool not to like them anymore but i think it's a really good album with some amazing tunes. There was a load of buzz about the album when it came out, but people seem to have forgoten it.

(or did i just dream it?)

I agree. Their 2004-2010 output was always in the top five of everything. But I don't even think Potchfork or Magnet included them this year. I think it's a rally good album too, though its probably not in my top five of the year. It's definitely in or near the top ten, for sure.

Also, Deerfhoof released a great album this year, and it's been noticeably absent from a lot of the lists you'd imagine it would fare well on.

great list mister startur

--

amongst the albums that i would say impressed me most, in no order:

moon wiring club - today bread, tomorrow dreams
actress - rip
lukid - lonely at the top
pye corner audio - sleep games
dean Blunt and inga Copeland - black is beautiful
laurel halo - quarantine
cooly g - playin me (anything released on hyperdub this year really)
dan habarnam - from the known
yeasayer - fragrant world
chairlift - something
burial - truant
jam city - classical curves
asc & sam kdc - decayed society

probably forgetting a lot - it really was a fantastic year in terms of electronic music albums. any rinse mix cd released this year should be mentioned as well - they were all great. the latest one, mixed by t.williams, is probably the best though.

i thought it was decent. not a bad album, but not a one i felt the urge to listen to more than a few times either. this said, it may be better this way - after the whole mpp boom it's good to see them releasing this kind of records as well.

with all the great hip hop i forgot that aesop rock released one of his better albums "skelethon"

[batreleaser]

kind of surprised to see Earth and Om so high on the list. Both are bands I have loved in the past but neither of those albums impressed me.

It's either The Seer or John Frusciante's - PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone.

I really got obsessed with the Actress album "RIP"
