My favorite albums of the year have done some shifting around over the last few months. The top spot remains the same, but as for the rest... quite different from the ranking in the spring.
Won't bore myself or anyone else by retreading old ground, but the following albums have laid claim to the upper reaches of my list. Previously, they were either not yet released, or I hadn't fully grasped their excellence:
Autechre - Elseq1-5
Christian Fennesz & Jim O'Rourke - It's Hard For Me to Say I'm Sorry
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree
Ian William Craig - Centres
Pantha Du Prince - The Triad
Aphex Twin - Cheetah EP
The Dead C - Trouble
Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - In Summer
Preoccupations - s/t
