TA's best of 2014
View this Thread in Original format

Might as well have a thread for it like every year? Usually I have some sort of list by now but this year I don't even know what came out this year. I've been spending most of the year on dancefloors and working on my DJing so I haven't really kept up with albums that much. I'll take a look at other people's lists and try to come with something later.

Okay, here's some of what I came up with after a bit of messing around:

Lawrence - A Day In The Life
This just came out recently and haven't seen it in any end-of-year lists. Very nice introspective ambient with typical melancholic Lawrence-flair.

Donato Dozzy/Nuel - Aquaplano Sessions & K
Technically both re-issues but who cares? Still some of the best deep techno/ambient of the past 5+ years. Been listening to these more than most new albums this year.

Steffi - Power Of Anonymity
Seems like this has gotten a rather lukewarm reception in the press because it's not edgy and inventive enough or something but it's just the right thing for the detroit nerds.

Neel - Phobos
Another Dozzy associate. Space ambient done just right, not too dark, not too light.

Ligovski - Dilip
More like a double EP, one with ambient originals and the other with techno remixes. Ditch the remixes and keep the ambient tracks, some of my favorite ambient this year.
enydo
not kidding

Here's a quick rundown of my phone-rotation charts which is honestly much more representative of what i've been listening to this year.









Chimney
In no particular order:










That Acronym track is ace.
SYSTEM-J
Thanks for making the thread unreadable on my increasingly decrepit laptop, guys.

I'll come back with a list when the year is fully over, but I'm pretty sanguine about the whole End Of Year business these days.

You may want to add "album" to the title, otherwise it becomes the third thread of its kind.

Haven't heard many albums this year, but I did like some tracks on these (ambient, experimental):

http://www.discogs.com/Das-Geheim-M...release/6035408
http://www.discogs.com/Black-To-Com...m/master/763674







Can't seem to embed the Das Geheim, unfortunately, but the album is available on Soundcloud.

Also enjoying http://www.discogs.com/Alpha-Wave-M...release/6377034 (space ambient) which I found today, courtesy of Discogs:
https://hrresonance.bandcamp.com/album/system-a

Ra-X released an oldschool analog acid album of tracks produced between 1995 and 1996, which is nice as well: http://www.discogs.com/Ra-X-Real-Me...e/master/771171



I'm surprised French artist 25D hasn't released an album yet, considering his prolific output on Soundcloud this year. That would likely be one of my favs. as well.

slater and hood did it for me this year.

marcel dettmann rush pas deep release mix
slam factory music pas remix

other mentions off the top of my head

truss'me i want you (alan fitzpatrick remix) so damn catchy
chaim - blue shadow
kasper bjork - rush (bryjolfur, heygum remx)
for album; the one that comes to mind most is yagya sleepygirls.

big ups to hernan too, caught him 3x times year and he was on point each time

biggest disappointment was seeing villalobos play.
