2013 I had to include some non PA members to get to ten, but 2014 I'm spoiled for choice. Not even the Mogwai and Kong album reach the top 10; these bands are normally safe bets in my lists. Swans - To Be Kind (first listing of this album... I'm surprised!) :zoviet*france:* and Aerosol Mining Project - Patina Pooling Arch Garrison - I Will Be A Pilgrim David Sylvian - There's a Light That Enters Houses With No Other Houses In Sight Sonar - Static Motion Knifeworld - The Unravelling Aquaserge - A l'amitie Solarference - Jekyll and Hyde Soundtrack Secret Chiefs 3 - Ishraqiyun: Perichoresis The Moon and the Nightspirit - Holdrejtek

Paul - how many albums have you rated in total and how many of those are 5 stars? ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

A quick glance at my Reviews & Ratings page reveals that I've officially rated 2234 albums so far, although I can't tell you how many of those are 5-star albums as there are simply too many to count. I can tell you though that there's only one 1-star album (Robert Wyatt's debut) in my list and all of Mostly Autumn's 26 albums are rated 5 stars, but you probably knew that already.

You're certainly a man who appreciates much, Paul, but that should be good for the artists.  And I can tell about myself that I only rate for support or appreciate some particular albums, so all my ratings are 4 or 5 stars - I've rated only rather little, though. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |
