Is there some chance of Sleep releasing something?

Om would be awesome too.

Good guitar music is badly needed.

Between Fundamental (2006) and Super (2016), PSB released a total of FIVE albums......no hiatus for them! Matter of fact, I’d venture to say there is no pop group from the 80’s releasing better music today!

I had no clue Tears For Fears had a new album pending......cant wait to hear it!

http://www.factmag.com/2017/12/20/best-albums-2017/

somehow missed new Aaron Dilloway´s album! have to check it out!

Fernow´s project Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement dub epic Ambient Black Magic on 32. nice!

Visible Cloaks on 12th.? I haven´t heard the album, but I have seen them live performing new stuff and it was one of the most boring listening experiences of this year for me. sound wise they were good but content wise, just boring.

YES - so worth checking out!

It’s Aaron’s first totally solo release since, Modern Jester (2012).
I believe it’s all generated from tapes? His approach and textures result in a creepiness that Wolf Eyes hasn’t approached in their past couple of releases......you won’t be disappointed!!!

Not Music (2010) was their last release.

There will also be a new Rivulets album out in 2018, the name is IN OUR CIRCLE. No idea when, but it will be on the French label Talitres

Fucking hell, the Visibke Cloaks album has been one of the only real surprises of this largely stagnant year. It’s a hell of a freaking record, even if it doesn’t make for much of a live show.

Really, seriously, genuinely glorious.

Well this is an ambitious little list, but it goddamn well fucks its credibility by putting Future’s HNDRXX in the top five?!?!? Please. No freaking way. No.

Otherwise, good to see Jlin getting consistent love in these lists. And Visible Cloaks. But putting DAMN. at #41 makes no earthly sense. I expect some folks are just tired of giving the top spot to Kendrick, which is a shame because it’s wirhout question the year’s best, most realized and most culturally significant album.

They forgot Botany and Mount Kimbie and Blanck Mass.

Yob so far beneath Deafheaven is hilarious. Lists are funny, and seem to exist to give us dorks fodder for arguments more than anything....

Not Music (2010) was their last release.

I had a chance listen to first 3 tracks of Aaron´s new album. not bad at all! he has incorporated his voice into his music now. can´t wait to give it a proper listen over the wknd.

No, seriously, I thought PSB were on hiatus and have not released anything since 2000´s. I know, it looks like my general knowledge about music releases went downhill. I used to be better in those things. I guess since 2005 I was in totally different waters and I went on hiatus myself, hehe.

btw I listened to Negativeland´s Escape From Noise. I was not blown away by it. it is good, the idea is very nice, soundbites or samples are mixed, cut and poduced very professionally. I love (I would call it) "radio techniques programming" stuff. I was just missing something that would attract me.

that is exactly what _slavo_ told me when we went to a gig. he also didn´t enjoy them as much live as he enjoyed the album.

o. k. I might give it a go and listen to the album.

yeah them lists are weird, they are pretentious, esp. those by fact mag, pitchfork whatever. but still....

I prefer lists by more of a "underground" sources and even then, they are giving us fodder for arguments more than anything as Savage Clone wrote.

Yeah, check the album. Not the live show. It’s freaking headphone music.

I’m getting ready to get the year wrong every day for the next month or so anyway, so it’s good to get some practice in beforehand.
