let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I have lots of good albums from this year, but not really an outstanding one in the prog category. The ranking is quite arbitrary. Juxtaposition by Radian and Michigan by Sufjan Stevens beat all of these by some distance.

Tortoise - It's All Around You
Rapoon & Birds of Tin - Monomyth (*)
Guapo - Five Suns
Bark Psychosis - Codename: Dustsucker
Ahvak - Ahvak
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Of Natural History
Secret Chiefs 3 - Book Of Horizons
Bjork - Medulla
Tin Hat - Book of Silk
Karda Estra - Voivode Dracula
(Tarentel - We Move Through Weather)
(*) Not listed on PA, although Rapoon is, as an artist.
