2012 : Recommended Albums List (compiled in first post)

[joeki]

I know we should be focussing on the good and positive releases. But I'm disappointed with the new Becoming Real Album. Stand-out track 'Slow Memory' is really the only interesting bit for me. Andy Stott has announced a new album for October. That will undoubtedly score hight for me (Passed Me By / We Stay Together is still amongst my favourites of recent years). Worryingly, there are several tracks with female vocals on them apparently, which could go wrong as it often does.

Andy Stott is one artist who can do no wrong. I don't think he would use female vocals if he wasn't absolutely sure it was gonna work.

that new Breakbot stuff is amazing, listened to it this morning as I woke up, on such a good vibe right now

These two albums are marvellous; Shrines - Purity Ring and Andy Stott - Luxury Problems.

I was kinda worried about this but it's very good indeed. I also liked The Orb and Lee Perry Collab

[lylo]

Strictly for you northern soul/indie heads. The jake bugg album packs some serious weight. Lyrics and melodys that are mind blowing when you think this boy is 18 still.

The Walkmen's new(est) album, Heaven has made it very near to the top of my 2012 list.

They've steadily become one of the best bands going without anyone really noticing.

Holy Other - Held
Lukid - Lonely At The Top

i wish this was available on bleep already.. impatient to get it but i don't want to pay the obligatory £5 fee that applies to all orders to france on boomkat. it was meant to go on bleep a week ago..

[ultraspatial]

Terror Danjah - The Dark Crawler
also, Cooly G - Playin' Me (just got around to listening to these two)
happy to see Hyperdub back on top after those Hype Williams and Laurel Halo albums

Way Of The Samurai 2: Code Of Honour comp on Samurai Music. Didn't manage to listen to it fully yet, but it's got tunes from a lot of top names (Marcus Intalex, Clarity, ASC, Loxy & Resound, Consequence, Nymfo etc).

[BaronVon]

Really enjoying this album, it's a bit of a grower.
