Favourite 'Electronic' Albums of 2011

sean [Edit] [Delete] 10:26, 18 November '11

Thought it might be interesting, ahead of all the MY TOP 10 lists, to see some glimpses into various catch-all worlds of music. This thread is for your favourite things of an electronic bent i.e. Dubstep, Minimal Techno, Electronica, etc...

My favourites include:
Tim Hecker - ambience, hiss, pianos, echoey wells... incredible...
SBTRKT - this is what 2011 sounds like, def a contender for THE album of the year
John Maus - not quite a nightmare, not quite dreamy
Kate Wax - reviewed on DiS today, shimmering planningtorock-ishness
Oneohtrix Point Never - slowly becoming obsessed with this, all the static and ebbing
Sleep Over - if you wanted the David Lynch album to sound like Twin Peaks, buy this instead
James Ferraro - giddying
New Look - ghost-rnb goes occasionally glittering Prince/80s movie soundtracks but sounds oddly 'now'
Austra - swoops somewhere between Bat for Lashes and The Knife
WALLS - immersive and then some

...and falling between the indie/dance stools is that brilliant Knife-life When Saints Go Machine lp Konkylie
