Bring us your list! As many titles as you want. Here is mine:

1. Johannes Schmoelling & Robert Waters - Zeit Unendlich? - Live (2CD + DVD)
2. Sverre Knut Johansen - Precambrian (CD)
3. Kebu - Live In Oslo (DVD + 2CD)
4. Harold Faltermeyer - Fletch Lives (1989/2019) (CD)


I haven't bought Neuland and Rune by David Helpling yet, they have to wait for January.

Great album. However I'm rather surprised to find it on Your list, since when we talked about it on it's release here at the EMP, You said:

Quote by Jon
Somewhat disappointing, too ambient and not enough good melodies. His weakest of the 4 on Spotted Peccary.


So, did it grow on You, or were just all other albums of 2019 except those You mentioned weaker still...?

I do enjoy looking through these best releases of the year lists, particularly when I come across albums I haven't heard before.... :)

I'm not certain I could narrow it down to a dozen or so myself.... 😉

Reissues do not count for a year list (so no Hades) and I only put albums on that I actually bought. (So no Tool on the list, even though it's very good)

Opeth - In Cauda Venenum

Motorpsycho - The Crucible
No-Man - Love You To Bits
d’Voxx - Telegraph
Alcest - Spiritual Instinct
Thom Yorke - Anima
Lana del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell
Ian Boddy - Altair
Swallow the Sun - When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light
Slow - VI Dantalion

Honourable mention: Concept Devices - Conceptus Fabrica (Martyn’s debut album)

Concert of the year: Ian Boddy - Awakenings 14-09-19 (It was a very close call between this one and Ian’s performance at E-live but the intimate setting of the show in Rugeley tipped the balance)

It grew a little I guess, But the winner on my list was very clear.

And I only bought 4 new albums this year, so not the hardest competition.
