Champ213 1858 Posted January 5, 2012 I kept my top list short (three favourites, to be precice). Partially because I don't want to be TL;DR and because I'm incredibly slow when it comes to listeneing to new releases. I'm always a year behind, so half of my favourite music this year was released in 2010 or earlier. However, here is an extended list of other albums I liked at the bottom. Anyway, here we go: Tenhi - Saivo Genre: Neofolk Sample song: Pojan Kiiski Tenhi are the perfect example why it pays off to wait for a new album instead of expecting a band to release something new every few months. Their first real studio album in five years, being delayed over one year, was worth every single day of waiting. Dark, intense and simply beautiful. 実験台モルモット - 箱庭の音樂会 Genre: Jazz/pop Sample Song: 半分個カーディオイド 実験台モルモット are certainly my favourite discovery of the year when it comes to japanese music. Carefree, happy and catchy music, yet sophisticated and never cheap. Really a great album for a band that seemed to have popped out of nowhere. Thy Catafalque - Rengeteg Genre: Avantgarde Metal Sample Song: Trilobita Admittedly, this album sounds a lot like its two predecessors. However since Thy Catafaque's style is somewhat unique on its own it doesn't really matter so much. The album itself also has a lot of variety, from slow ambient-ish electronic tracks to blast-beat layered metal tracks, and anything inbetween. Other stuff that was good: A - White Album Amber gris - Pomander Amon Amarth - Surtur Rising Anthem - Heraldic Device Corde Oblique - A Hail of Bitter Almonds Dark Suns - Orange Einherjer - Norron Emmy the Great - Virtue Kauan - Kuu... Laura Marling - A Creature I Don't Know ThanatoShizo - Origami Turisas - Stand Up And Fight Týr - The Lay of Thrym Yaneka - All in the Air 女王蜂 - 孔雀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
