I thought it would be a good topic for the end of the year.

Xscape by Michael Jackson, personally. It's a cooler album than most people give it credit for, especially the track "Chicago."

Restless Shapes by Gajek

I stumbled across this one by chance cause it was bleep.com's album of the week a few weeks back. But beyond that, I haven't seen anybody talking about it. But it's so fresh, like Steve Reich - Music For 18 Musicians style minimalism done in contemporary electronic stylings with a big emphasis on percussion. Haven't really heard anyone doing stuff like this and it's incredible and no one else is talking about it.

Albums in my top 10 for 2014 that aren't top 500 on the year on here:


Pink Narcissus by Tuxedomoon

Rank: 640. Charts that aren't by me: 1. Cool instrumental jazz with post-punk and post-rock influences.


Bashful Creatures by Hippo Campus

Rank: 777. Charts that aren't by me: 0. Like a really good version of Vampire Weekend. Produced by Alan Sparhawk of Low.


Hope by Manchester Orchestra

Rank: 507. Charts that aren't by me: 1. It's COPE but acoustic, and somehow, despite some love for COPE, this went really, really under the radar.


Waldeinsamkeit by Sisilisko

Rank: 605. Charts that aren't by me: 1. Thank you Defago for also loving this. Dark folk metal, really, really grimy stuff, it's great.


Mitau by Audrey Fall

Rank: 757. Charts that aren't by me: 4. It's post-rock but with a metal twist. Saw someone refer to it as "post-metalcore" and think that's a rather fitting description.


Songs From An Open Book by Justin Furstenfeld

Rank: 824. Charts that aren't by me: 0. Blue October (and pre-Blue October) toned down and acoustic, a live show with stories and jokes and a hell of a performance. I'd buy the DVD if it existed.

The Future's Void by EMA

This motherfucker.

Absolutely mind blowing album that only got average reviews.
