Just amended my list, somehow i had left my Album of the Year off my initial postgessa wrote:I've got a lot of 7's and 8's this year, I don't think any album as stunned me or is out there ahead of the rest.
I think I could narrow it down to 10 or so now but will need to play them all to narrow it down furthur.
2 of the 10 are on your list.
Forgot about the Richter album although i haven't bought it yet !!Durly wrote:Will come back with a more definitive selection but some of his year's favourites:
C Duncan - Architect
Enablers - The Rightful Pivot
Kamasi Washington - The Epic
Kemper Norton - Loor
Killing Joke - Pylon
Max Richter - From Sleep
Public Service Broadcasting - The Race For Space
Rachel Grimes - The Clearing
Ryley Walker - Primrose Green
Sleaford Mods - Key Markets
Thundercat - The Beyond/Where The Wild Things Are (classed as an album but VERY short)
Unthanks - Mount The Air
Wolfgang Voigt - Ruckverzauberung
Think the Kamasi Washington one probably edges it as my album of the year. Either that or Max Richter.

It's well worth getting, Ges; if anything, it's better than On Sunset Lake. I bought a download from their bandcamp page and am awaiting the vinyl release for my physical version. If you like a bit of pysch, check out the Lucid Dream album. It's on spotifygessa wrote:
Completely missed the Kontiki Suite album, another I need to listen too, still play On Sunset Lake a lot.
Which 2015 album have you bought Gandi ?Gandalf wrote:I don't think I will be playing this year - I have only bought one album.
Indeed, looking at all the selections above, not only have I not heard of any of the albums, I haven't heard of any of the artists either.

That's one more than me. I've never really bought online I don't trust it very much and I'm an impulse buyer so the buying process doesn't suit me either. All the record shops have gone too locally (bar the Rock Box and rock is getting a little passe)Gandalf wrote:I don't think I will be playing this year - I have only bought one album.

Have you heard Benjamin Clementine wondrous soulful album 'At Least For Now' Nicklufc1304 wrote:Not a lot of standouts for me this year, bar the following:

I did buy Max Richter from itunes but it seems to have gotten lost in the ether, so not listened to it yet

It's superb mate. The scope and the ambition. Breathtakingly good.1964white wrote:

Just listening to Julia Holter's album now. She seems to nail it with the critics every year. Number 1 album in Mojo and Uncut and number 2 in Q. Her previous album came top of Wire magazine's poll in 2013. Never seen a bad review for anything she's ever done.1964white wrote:As always we'll be having our Best Album Of The Year Poll towards the end of December/beginning of January
What gems have we heard during 2015 then ?
Mine are not in any particular order yet although i think i know my Top 3 as it stands
At Least For Now - Benjamin Clementine
Natalie Prass - Natalie Prass
Who is the Sender - Bill Fay
White Men Are Black Men Too - Young Fathers
No No No - Beirut
From Here - Stick In The Wheel
Have You In My Wilderness - Julia Holter
Faith In The Future - Craig Finn
More to come i reckon.....
Wonderful album mate as is the Natalie Prass album which i haven't seen in many lists, arguably better than the Holter albumDurly wrote:
