Here's my yearly attempt at reviewing a year in music. Please bear in mind that these are not necessarily the records I've been listening to most. I've only played some of these records twice or three times. But it was enough for me to identify them as some of the boldest, brightest, unique and thrilling music I've heard all year long. So here's my techno-something, balearic-whatever, folk-heavy selection of releases I liked better than most. Also, I've only included LPs in this list as I consider this format to be the most relevant for artists to fully express themselves and therefore the most worthy of interest.
