I always find it impossible to pick "the best" albums of a particular year, simply because there have been so many and again, I only have heard a small fracture of them. So how would I know...?
But also among the few that came to my awareness, there is so many excellent music that I find it hard to pick favourites (not only because the albums are on a high level of achievment, but also because they are different in style and approach and thus hard to compare...).

Anyway, here's an (probably incomplete) list of some of the electronica albums of 2020 which I enjoyed and which impressed me a lot - no particular order btw. just from the top of my head...


Robert Rich, Offering To The Morning Fog

Robert Rich, Neurogenesis

Dave Bessell, Reality Engine

Dave Bessell & Ishq, Inbetween

Gary Husband & Markus Reuter, Music Of Our Times

J. Peter Schwalm & Arve Henriksen, Neuzeit

Lisa Bella Donna, Odyssey

Thorsten Quaeschning & various guests, Behind Closed Doors...
...the whole series was great, very hard to pick a favourite performance.

Forrest Fang, Ancient Machines

Steve Roach, Tomorrow

Yes, maybe I stated the obvious...
I wrote that rather to just express my feelings about such lists in general, and actually didn't intend to critizise You.



Thank You. The original headline didn't keep me from doing just that (adding good albums) though.

I hope I didn't prevent anyone from posting his favourites...
