| C418 Volume Beta |
| Volume alpha was already pretty good, but Beta is SO much better. Also, about 2h 20min long. Where does this guy pull out all this excellent material from? |
| Depeche Mode Delta Machine |
I've never been a fan of Depeche Mode but this album hit me hard. All the songs sound slow
and calm, but powerful at the same time. The careful fusion of synths, drums, basses and
voices shows off a lot of experience and work behind this project.
Highlights: Welcome to my World, Heaven, The Child Inside, Should Be Higher, Alone. |

| This EP makes me think more artists should consider if they've got enough to properly fill an LP record. This is a short, concise collection of five great tracks that have no low points or fillers whatsoever. |

| Padang Food Tigers Ready Country Nimbus |

| Rhian Sheehan Stories From Elsewhere |
A mesmerizing collection of beautiful and relaxing tunes that mix electronic music,
traditional instruments and recorded sounds. I've got to listen to this while laying on my
back and watching the clouds pass. |

| The Front Bottoms Talon of the Hawk |
| Catchy, loud and full of energy, Talon of the Hawk is one of the best follow-ups this year even if it doesn't fall very far from the band's first album. |
