Hugh Mughnus Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Surprised there's no love for Siriusmo's "Comic". I thought it was great! I'd add Iglooghost - Neo Wax Bloom to my list but I can't get over the mixing/mastering. I get a headache after a few tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worlds Most Johnsson Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Not much this year that really rocked my boat Spongebob Squarewave - Pool Party was my absolute favorite and most played Album of 2017, goosebumps moments through and through and super positive happy vibesBogdan Raczynski - 4 Mixes - 1999-2015 was released this year and it is amazing (album?, EP?, compilation?, mix album?)Best EPBullion - Blue Pedro Anna Meredith - Nautilus, old song in a new format and most blow my mind moment of 2017 Joe - Tail Lift / MPH, just because I love Joe but only one of the tracks is a rocker for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychotronic Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Sakamoto - Async Good choice! Def on my list!

beerwolf Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Definitely mentioning the Mogwai effort, that's pretty good imo But the initial big buzz of a new LCD album seemed to fizzle out pretty fast, I didn't fall in love with it as much as I expected but that's the same with me and all their albums. Couple of great tracks and the rest? a bit forgettable Death Peak was also a good effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
