2013:1

Spilling in to April a little bit: here's everything I've deemed excellent to life- changing this year
1A. M. Architect
Pattern Language

I don't need to say anything because I reviewed it.
2Ancient History
Tracks

This one, too.
3A-Sun Amissa
You Stood Up For Victory, We Stood Up For Less

These guys sole influence seems to be GY!BE and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
4betacicadae
mouna

Joint top for best ambient album so far. #2 for Q1.
5Clem Leek
Rest

The ultimate chill out, acoustic-ambient album. #3 for Q1.
6Ellen Allien
LISm

The more I hear of this, the more I like it.
7Fingers in the Noise
Scotchage

I seem to remember an old album of theirs being brought up very favourably here...
Fantastic techno.
8Fol Chen
The False Alarms

Absolutely mad electronic(/indie- in a tonal sense). Almost sickly sweet at times
though, so it's hard to recommend to everyone. #5 for Q1.
9Function
Incubation

Put your headphones on, cut out any distractions and get a load of this:

10Geskia!
Silent of Light

Not much else to be said, really. Read the review. #1 for Q1.
11Graveyard Tapes
Our Sound is Our Wound

Experimental music ready to chuck everything unexpected your way. Really good
fun, and excellently produced.
12Jerusalem in my Heart
Mo7it Al-Mo7it

Arabian music mixed with electronics. Surprisingly incredible.
13Julia Kent
Character

Criminally overlooked classical stuff. #4 for Q1.
14Lapalux
Nostalchic

I don't know if it could have been better if Lapalux worked with the grittier vibe he's
hinted at before, but it's still great.
15Lauki
GEA

Sublime by-the-numbers drone ambient.
16Machinefabriek and Minus Pilots
Signals

It's good to hear Machinefabriek back on form again. Ambient fuzziness.
17Maps and Diagrams
Timbre

Still top of the ambient pile.
18Moss Garden
Understanding Holy Ghosts

More ambient - this got a bit of a push from more blogs than I was expecting which
was welcome.
19MV & EE
Fuzzweed

Weird as fuck but great in a very recent MV & EE way.
20Petrels
Onkalo

Joint top ambient album so far. Came out post-March 31st so I guess this can be
given a ranking in 3 months. Can't break the rules now. But seriously this shit is
absolutely mind blowing - it almost had me in tears.
21Stuart Warwich
The Butcher's Voice

Reviewed!
22William Ryan Fritch
The Waiting Room

Brilliant and dramatic soundtrack to a film I haven't seen.
