Well I finally finished relistening to everything I listened to in 2015. Around 300 albums, probably. Around the same amount as last year, but this year I felt was slightly stronger in terms of overall output, though I had some trouble deciding on the best album of the year until the last minute. In the end I think I picked a deserving #1, but really, the top 10 albums were all pretty close for me in terms of enjoyment.

  1. Lubomyr Melnyk - “Rivers and Streams”


  2. port- royal - “Where Are You Now”


  3. Julia Kent - “Asperities”


  4. Stefano Guzzetti - “Ensemble”


  5. Gunship - “Gunship”

oh wow 150 albums :O

I have only listened to a few of this. The Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeld album is amazing! Don't know anyone from the top 5, not even the names. This will be good. Thanks

Do you only listen to new albums? I still discover treasures of the past constantly, started a few years ago to make top 10 album lists for every year since 1959 to keep track of the goodies.

Tame Impala's Lonerism, Grouper's Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill and Memory Tapes' Seek Magic really clicked with me this year

If you liked Stetson and Neufeld, then you'd like 1, 3, 4, 9, 12, 15, 16, 25, 34, 36, 57, 72, 74, 78, 101, 133. Especially #1, Lubomyr Melnyk is a genius of piano. I would describe it as classical piano music played like shoegaze.

I mostly listen to new stuff, but if I stumble upon some good old album I listen to that too but don't list it. I only started making lists recently, though. I could only do that for years when I've listened to 200+ albums otherwise I wouldn't feel knowledgeable enough about that year in order to make one.

Windhand - “Grief's Infernal Flower”

^^^ haven't been able to put this one down
... In life very little goes right. "Right" meaning the way one expected and the way one wanted it. One has no right to want or expect anything.

I feel like Drones is a weak album compared to their other stuff.
And I am saying this as a huge fan. reapers and a few songs were good but not as good as stuff they have made before resistance

I really like the album since I decided to listen with a open mind and not as muse album.
Mercy gives me shivers. And I really like handler and revolt.
You have to listen to it loudly though

@ lichter. My band released an album this year and I'm not trying to plug my band here but after reading through your list I'm really interested to know what you would think of it. If you'd like I could pm you my bands name.

#1 just sounds extremely derivative of glass/reich/part and the minimalism of the 60s - 80s?

on the surface it appears similar but it isn't. what takes glass/reich several musicians to perform, melnyk does alone. his technique of "continuous music" has a really rich and complex sound because he always has his foot on the sustain pedal, and that creates very interesting overtones. if you really listen you can hear an entirely different world echoing in the background. he creates such pleasant and melodic music with what is essentially a wall of sound and an approach similar to shoegaze.
