	A strange year, really. A couple of releases that I really love, but still just barely enough albums that I would call good enough to fit in a top 10 list like this. 1. Rascal Reporters - Happy Accidents 2. Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Symphonic Suite Akira 3. Cardiacs - A Little Man And A House And The Whole World Window 4. Fred Frith - The Technology Of Tears (And Other Music For Dance And Theatre) 5. Ruins - Ruins III 6. Frank Zappa - Guitar 7. Vangelis - Direct 8. Nels Cline - Angelica 9. Ozric Tentacles - Sliding Gliding Worlds 10. Mr. Bungle - Goddammit I Love America!
