Black Sun is the best album of 2011

[Devry_Kaneda]

It's got all those dread-deep vibes ala Spaceape that connects it to kode9's old shit while still maintaining all the relevance that the dubstep-turned house producers have managed to steal.

This is not open to discussion.

This is a fact.

I think ScaryMOnsters and nice sprites was the best album of 2011. soooo filthy i had to return it.

it's halfway through november already.

i thought the retrospectives on the past year's albums would be in full-swing by now.

might as well get the ball rolling.

EDIT:

EDIT EDIT:

[fractal]

Martyn, SBTRKT, pinch & shackleton, author, kuedo, damu, kode9... All great albums this year

Sully - Carriers might be the one for me tho, some killer tunes in there

I hear you tho Dev. I love cranking black sun in the ride, so much texture and sub

[Naan_Bread]

Black Sun didn't get as much love as it deserved but first place is definitely Sully.

I've omitted Damu, Sbtrkt, The Aliens and Ullrich Troyer because I simply don't like their sounds. But I guess most people would deem (some of) those purchase worthy.
I've not decided which ones I like best so far. But I think my favourite album still so far is DeepChord's "hash-bar loops"...

[fassyman]

not really feeling black sun that much, i can only take spaceape in very small doses.

sully album is a big one, as is pinch and shackletons.

didn't know you could get scubas dj kicks unmixed, gonna have to grab a few 320's me thinks

[PinUp]

SBTRKT - SBTRKT has been one of my favourite albums ever, really like every single song.

Jehst - Dragon of an ordinary family deserves a mention in this list as well, such a strong album!

[hutyluty]

Kuedo X Balam Acab for me

[Devry_Kaneda]

pinch & shackleton is the only other one that compares.

but yeah, loads of good albums came out this year.

[Suangi]

no mention of Baobinga's Joint Ventures? Maybe not best of the year but definitely better than some on this thread.

[murky21]

literally a fuck load of amazing shit this year...

not necessarily my favourite but always gets overlooked on here - Emika's eponymous album - seriously epic and original shit

[Riddles]
