Are there any albums I've missed on my list? Pass on suggestions to me and I try to listen to them and add them to my long list, if appropriate.

There is such a large volume of music releases during the course of any given year, no single fan or critic can make an all encompassing list, so the floor is open for your nominations for addtions to my list. If I like your nomination it get added to my long list and be considered for by short list of ten most notable albums of 2009. Final decisions are mine alone and if you disagree then rip me to shreds on your own blog or journal.

I begin my notable albums of 2009 Song of the Day feature with the frist single from Imogen Heap's Elipse.

Notable Albums of 2009

2009 Notable Album: Ellipse by Imogen Heap

First Train Home-Imogen Heap This song is from electronica artist and Internet phenomenon Imogen Heap's dazzling album Elipse. Elipse is on my long list of notable 2009 albums. First Train Home is the Immie's first single from Ellipse and as good as it is, there's even better songs on the album. The video is a live perfomance of the song on the Late Night Show on August 22, 2009. As you can see from the video, Immie has more homemade electronic gizmos and gadgets than you can shake a stick at.
