2011 Favorite Releases

[baht habit]

Now that 2011 has passed us by, I was wondering if any other members of the forum wished to share their favorite releases of the year?

[Foales Arishes]

In no particular order, and to name a few highlights.

*AR ~ Wolf Notes [Richard Skelton & Autumn Richardson]

Radiohead ~ King Of Limbs

Slyvian ~ Died In The Wool

Kate Bush ~ Fifty Words For Snow

Jordi Savall ~ Mare Nostram

Florence + The Machine ~ Ceremonials

Not music, but poetry...

Alice Oswald's ~ Memorial - A bold translation of Homer's Iliad, which rejects the main narrative to focus on the deaths of the 'ordinary' men who fell in battle... each one coupled with a lyrical simile, that transports you out of the horror to a totally different place... remarkable.

[Tin Bird]

Wild Beasts - Smother
Patrick Wolf - Brumilia
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock U.S. vinyl re-issue
