 Topic: YOUR 2015 Picks
Posted: April 05 2016 at 13:27 |
Hi Guys. Not having found such a topic (except for the collaborators' one) I figured I would open one, so that users can share personal favs from 2015. Bit late I know... though I just finished listening to many 2015 releases myself :)
MY LIST (biggest favourites on top)
Steven Wilson: Hand cannot erase Anekdoten: Until all the ghosts are gone Nordic giants: A séance of dark delusions Gazpacho: Molok Callisto: Secret youth Caligula’s horse: Bloom Earthside: Dream in static Perfect beings: II Jakob: Sines Between the buried and me: Coma eliptic Delvoid: Serene The departures: Atmospheres Chris cornell: Higher truth The dear hunter: Act IV Leprous: The congregation Sóley: Ask the deep Exovex: Radio silence District 97: In vaults Riverside: Love, fear and the time machine Lanterns on the lake: Beings Seigmen: Enola Sigur rós: Circe
Out of all those, cannot help but comment on how huge surprise it was to hear Callisto's new album and how bloody underappreciated these guys are! Same goes for Jakob's Sines (though it's not underestimated - more like unknown). Nordic giants made an earth-shaking debut. And Gazpacho also had a strong return.

I made a thread last year called '2015 picks' where folks posted their favourites: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=102815  My two favourite albums from last year were Elephant9 - Silver Mountain and Circle - Pharaoh Overlord.

Cool, will check this out also. Did not mean to duplicate btw, figured someone might have opened up such a topic already but the search did not give me any hits :(

This was my contribution to the PA Collaborators Top Albums of the Year 2015. One thing has changed since I posted this list. I would put Monnaie de Singe's album Error 404 on 12, 13 or 14. Tentatively, for this band is still under evaluation of the Xover team.
