trentemoller - the last resort

I only really started paying attention to albums this year, so these are mostly recent. You could find a lot of them on best of lists yourself so I don't know if there are any hard to find gems or anything, but one's I've been listening to a lot:

Lone - Emerald Fantasy Tracks
Gold Panda - Lucky Shiner
Shed - The Traveller
Caribou - Swim
Four Tet - There Is Love In You
Darkstar - North
Oneohtrix Point Never - Returnal
Forest Swords - Dagger Paths EP
Mount Kimbie - Crooks & Lovers
Scuba - Triangulation
Burial - Untrue (not this year, but excellent)

Everything after Four Tet is a little bit out there, in various ways, but definitely creative.

It's excellent. If you really like it there's also a Swim Remixed album out there. It's fine, obviously it doesn't hold up as well as a coherent album, but there are some good remixes on it.

Metallic spheres by The Orb featuring David Gilmore(Pink Floyd)
really nice chill-out electronica

Ali Wilson - Phenomenon

Underworld - Barking

You probably already have that Bobbo, but if not, 1 floor filler, 1 drum & bass piece, some great dark moody stuff, and even something a touch 90's-electronic-rock-fusion-esque.

A mix of some old, and some new - all getting plenty of play. I'll add more, but this was just what came to mind.

Tosca - J.A.C, Dehli 9, Opera, Suzuki
Peter Kruder - Private Collection
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing, Preemptive Strike
Thievery Corporation - The Richest Man in Babylon
Peace Orchestra (self titled)
Zwicker - Songs of Lucid Dreamers
Max Essa - White Shoes Blue Dreams
Anthony Collins - Doubts & Shouts

I really dig these two from the balance series...

Joris Voorn - Always something new to discover every time you listen to it. I love dissecting the hell out of this one, lots of little nuances. Too bad he went all party-tune tech house (which is good sometimes don't get me wrong). I guess that's what makes the money I'd love to see him play a storming techno set just like the old days.

Will Saul - This guy's triple CD was brilliant. Really something different from what I was used to. Quality from start to end.

Paronator - Flowers Of Life --> Really enjoyed the Progressive House on this album. Very mellow.

Deep Motions - Selected Lounge Part 1 --> Many blissful chillout tunes on this album that I listened to while I was in Cancun. Beach + Cocktail + this Album = Nirvana

Forgot to mention that one in my previous post - totally agree. Top notch stuff, and one of my fav albums from last year for sure.
