So far it's probably:

Anciients - Heart Of Oak

It's what I was hoping Mastodon would sound like, when I delved into Mastodon a few years ago....

The new album is indeed excellent. After only one listen I'm not ready to proclaim it best ever by Ulver but it certainly makes the case for top 3 at this stage for me.

Ukandanz is from 2013? I didn't realize! That one deserves to be added to my list as well.

Holy faeces! 
..and my fave is Perdition City - probably one of the most innovative electronic releases of the new millennium imho.

It's been getting some pretty great reviews, with some people even calling it the best since Perdition City or even their best ever.

It's out. Release date was originally August 1st, but they delayed it (has to do with leaking or something, I don't really remember). But when the leak happened (at August 17th), Ulver made the digital version of the album available for purchase on their bandcamp. Don't know about vinyl or CD version though.

I've used far too much of my dough on music this year, which probably explains why I'm so broke at the moment. Anyway, I bought music with it, which is always better than me using it on parties and boozeSmile
I've acquired a fair few releases from 13, but most of em aren't featured on PA.

Anyway these are:
Deafheaven - Sunbather
Steven Wilson - The Bird
Djam Karet - The Trip
Jaga Jazzist - Live with the Britten Sinfonia
Henry Fool - Men Singing

All of which are pretty goodThumbs Up
Looking very much forward to getting my hands on the new Guapo, Vespero, Ukandanz, Rhün, Sigur Ros, Setna, Mogwai and some others that I forget right now(probably for the best too!) 

Not on PA:

Jon Hopkins - Immunity
Boards Of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest
The Knife - Shaking The Habitual
Primal Scream - More Light
Autechre - Exai
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - ll

Not a good a year so far as last. It seems to be the year when record companies have gone into overdrive with remastering/ repackaging old releases.

best albums with Raven in the title:
Oliver Wakeman and Gordon Giltrap - Ravens and Lullabies
Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing

A couple of nice ambient releases
Colin Edwin and Jon Durrant - Burnt Belief 
Mogwai - Les Revenants 

Excellent new neo prog release
Lifesigns - Lifesigns 

none of them blow my socks off though

when's the next Anathema album due?!
