2014 has been kind of a lackluster year for new music, if I have to pick a top ten it could be like this:

Aphex Twin - Syro (Warp)
Banco De Gaia - Rewritten Histories Vol 3 2002-13 (Disco Gecko)
Erik Wøllo - Timelines (Projekt)
Killing Joke - In Dub (Bandcamp)
Koan - Big Blue Mix (Blue Tunes)
Plaid - Reachy Prints (Warp)
Sundial Aeon - Analysis (Impact Studio)
Various Artists - Seeds Of Thought (Liquid Seed)
Within Reason - Farshadow (Anodize)
Woob - Ambient Disaster Movie (Bigamoebasounds)

Plastikman album was great. A Cabs retrospective was the only other album released this year i really liked, but its not new material. Dont think i could compile a top ten... the Aphex album was easily the biggest fail of the year.

I was quite taken with Midnight Sun by Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger..can't think of much else at the moment.

or... The Angel and the fool

Peter Hammill - ...all that might have been
The 3 CD version was definitely highlight of the year. Fantastic songwriting and interesting exploration of sound.

Peter Murphy - Lion
Powerful stuff and great vocal work as usual.

Lisa Gerrard - Twilight Kingdom
The most beautiful album of 2014, no doubt.

Tim Bowness - Abandoned Dancehall Dreams

I tend to agree that overall 2014 was pretty underwhelming though.

I dig Peter Murphy, that new album had slipped under my radar

Will have to give it a listen, thanks for the heads up

Didn't realise Peter Hammill brought out an album - must check it out, he is brilliant. Lisa Gerrard might also be interesting, I love her voice, her albums are patchy but worth a listen (I think the best thing she did was on the first This Mortal Coil album).

Sorry to say but I just thought I put this one in as an example of the biggest disappointment of the year. This album was... underwhelming, to put it mildly. Average album at best.

Interesting. Personally I love it.

It's been on repeat pretty much since I got it.

Roundup best records of 2014 ?
