Albums of the year - The early contenders

As ever this is my fave albums of the year list. I will just explain the rules again, these are albums that are NEW TO ME. Some of them may even be albums that I already own but have found renewed favour in the last year.

1. Battles - Mirrored


2. Radiohead - In Rainbows


3. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea


4. Scars - Author, Author


5. Floratone - Floratone


6. J Dilla - The Shining Instrumentals


7. Tinariwen - Aman Iman: Water Is Life


8. Various Artists - Larry Banks' Soul Family Album


9. Matt Schofield Trio - The Trio, Live

Anyway the year is still young, so I reserve my write to change this list a few times yet before the end of the year.
