#39: Tyondai Braxton: Central Market

You bet! I love this guy! I came to me as a shock hearing an orchestrated album from a guy in (now formerly in) a rock band, but at the same time, I expected something like this. When I first heard Platinum rows, I hated it, now, a year later, I love it. I love the surreal cartoony sounds, the dark guitar, the kazoos, and pretty much everything. this guy is a ledgend an I truly hope he gets bored with his solo career and rejoins Battles, because I love battles and he shouldn't have quit. WE WANT YOU BACK TYONDAI !

#38: Autechre: Amber

Yes, believe it or not, I preferred Amber to Tri Repetae, I sure am evil, right? but honestly, this is an album that plays with your consciousness and makes you lose yourself in the repetition. That's no small feat, really. Piezo is a good example of this. you eventually get lost in the slowly evolving loops and you are consumed by the repeating loops. and, this album influenced BOC so it has to be good, right?

I love the character and old-soundedness of Geogaddi.

Great call on Cosmogramma - one of my favourite albums of this year by quite a stretch. I'm also loving the amount of Autechre albums I'm seeing

I'm far from a fan of Animal Collective or Sigur Ros, but otherwise a very good-looking list from what I recognise. Keep up the good work

thank you

I'm a huge IDM fan so of course Autechre would be on this list!
also, it is the truth that Cosmogramma is the best album of 2010. it took me a few listens, and then I picked up on what he was going for.

Great call on EITS. I've gotta re-download it, it's been off my computer for too long.
