La lista del reputado musicólogo, crítico y músico de jazz Ted Gioia:
_I try to listen to new music every day, and have made this a part of my daily routine for many years. I'm not sure how many new CDs I heard during the course of 2011, but on some days I listen to four or more albums in their entirety, and a typical week will find me checking out 15-20 new releases. As the list below makes clear, I tend to range widely over various styles and genres.
I am impressed by how much outstanding music is recorded nowadays, but I am equally struck by how well hidden it is. More than at any time in my life, the best music is hard to find. You will almost never hear it on the radio, and increasingly it is not even on the radar screens of the major labels. The record stores, where fans once learned about important new releases, have mostly gone out of business. Even as music becomes more omnipresent and accessible, new barriers prevent listeners from hearing the most talented and creative artists.
For this reason, I am sharing a more complete listing of my favorite albums this year. In a world in which the best music is hidden from view, personal recommendation and word-of-mouth become the main gateways for discovering exciting new sounds. I present this large list as a guide to those who are looking for inspiring, intelligent and mind-expanding music, and want some guidance from someone who sifts through the many new releases looking for the cream of the crop.
Below are my selections for the 100 best CDs of 2011. I encourage you to check out some artists that you haven't heard before. And if you hear something you like, spread the word._

Top Ten Albums Of The Year
1. Byetone l SyMeta l raster-noton
(DIGITAL / CD + WAV / LP + WAV)As soon as we heard the opening track of SyMeta we were sold, after waiting three years since the excellent 'Death of a Typographer', raster-noton's label boss Olaf Bender presents us with another incredible album. We are confronted with punched out punctuation that drives us forward towards oblivion… more
- Exclusive 24bit WAV available only on Bleep
- 24 bit WAV included with all physical purchases
2. Rustie l Glass Swords l (Warp)
(DIGITAL / CD + MP3 / 2LP VINYL)Taking shape after 2 years in the studio, Rustie has developed a sound that is invigorating and uniquely his. Pulling in from influences that range from 16-bit video-game sonics, Japanese prog-rock, grime and Detroit techno - Rustie has created his own hypercolour brand of rave music. If you're anything like us, the moment you hear "Hover Traps", you will probably be humming the melody for the next 3 months of your life... more
3. John Maus l We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves l (Upset The Rhythm)
(DIGITAL / CD / LP)We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves' released by London's premiere D.I.Y label Upset the Rhythm, is the third solo album by John Maus, and the most accessible to date. After working alongside Gary War and Ariel Pink in Haunted Graffiti, Maus released his debut album in 2006, a masterpiece of lo-fi bedroom pop crafted lovingly in his home over 5 years. Another 5 years on, with the excellent 'Love is Real' in between... more
4. patten l GLAQJO XAACSSO l (No Pain In Pop)
(DIGITAL / CD + bonus disc / LP + bonus disc)A very exciting debut on No Pain in Pop from Londoner, patten. Trying to pin down patten's sound could prove to be quite the challenge, but your best guideline is somewhere in between jacking Chicago house, 90s IDM, lo-fi psychedelics, the LA beat scene and contemporary techno. And we really mean somewhere. But who cares for classifying when it sounds this good? 'GLAQJO XAACSSO' is a raw and visceral experience full of intricate textural layers that definitely deserves your ears... more
5. Martyn l Ghost People l (Brainfeeder)
(DIGITAL / CD / 2LP)The key tracks from this album could resonate just as comfortably in a dingy London archway as they could in Berghain. The Dutchman still can't be pinned down to any one genre, but not that we care too much, we just know he has made one of the best albums of 2011... more
6. Peaking Lights l 936 l (Not Not Fun)
(DIGITAL / CD / LP)In what has been a majorly impressive year for LA label Not Not Fun - countless essential releases, the launch of offshoot "dance" label 100% Silk, ascending to leftfield royalty status courtesy of a Wire cover appearance - their finest act by a fuzzy dubby country mile has been the release of Peaking Lights' '936'...
North America and Canada digital customers
Rest Of World Digital customers7. Surgeon l Breaking The Frame l (Dynamic Tension Records)
(DIGITAL / CD)Eleven years is an awful long time in electronic music, eleven days is long enough. Which makes this first LP for over a decade from Birmingham lynchpin Anthony Child aka Surgeon all the more remarkable... more
8. Roll The Dice l In Dust l (The Leaf Label)
(DIGITAL / CD / 2LP)A great deal of exciting, analogue synth music has circulated in the eighteen months since Swedish pair Peder Mannerfelt and Malcolm Pardon first issued their enigmatic Kosmische set, Roll The Dice. But only a small amount has measured against the quality of this duo's efforts. Causing ripples and rousing the scene since their eponymous, self titled LP flew into collections via via word-of-mouth from the cabal of their keen followers... more
9. Nicolas Jaar l Space is Only Noise l (Circus Company)
(DIGITAL / CD)With a dexterous form of maturity that travels way beyond his modest age of twenty-two, Nicolas Jaar has given us one of the most graceful and energetic albums of recent times, let alone 2011. The beauty of 'Space Is Only Noise' seems to be found in the way that it wears its split-personality's heart on its sleeve. At once it is fragile and unassuming, whilst simultaneously confident and eccentric... more
10. Roly Porter l Aftertime l (Subtext)
(DIGITAL / CD / LP)One half of dreadzone dubstep duo, Vex'd, steps out on his own to walk a completely different path from that of the fierce dance floor skank of his previous partnership. 'Aftertime' is an often haunting and unsettling excursion into drone, noise, techno and classical string arrangements. The magic of 'Aftertime' lies in its miasma of contrasts - for all of the sporadic fits of heavy-duty electronics and moments of low-end menace are pacified by delicate strings and moments of pure poetic light. Uncompromising in its direction and atmosphere, Porter has created a submerged bunker of sound, so pressurised that it at once takes your breath away... more

La de bleep ya mola más. Aún así, me da que los primeros puestos para Nicholas Jaarl son puro compromiso. Que el disco mola, vale, pero…

M83: "Midnight City" mejor canción del año para Pichtfork
-
Repasando listas me ha dado por hacerle caso a The Weeknd y estoy encantado con el House of Balloons. Me parece muy bueno. Creo que tiene más mérito cuando cosas que se suponen parecidas como Drake o The-Dream no me terminan de hacer tilín. A mí a lo que me más recuerda es a Portishead en versión actualizada y folladora. Con la diferencia de que meterme un disco de Portishead del tirón me cuesta y esto entra sólo.

Joder, esa podría ser la lista del rockdelux. Qué decepción.
Ya ha salido mi lista más favorita y esperada, la de portadas del tinymixtapes.

No sale la portada de Dominant Legs. No se vale esa lista.

Coño es verdad
El tomboy de panda bear es un muy buen disco y no esta en listas
Este año es muy disperso
-
Yo veo las listas bastante perezosas por lo general. Pero es que hasta la de residentAdvisor ha sido un poco chasco.

A mi el de Panda me ha dejado frio filipino. No está mal de ahí a hablar como algo escandaloso, no sé, para mi por ejemplo a Tom Waits me parece que no sabe el personal como valorar su disco, si como un discazo (a mi me ha encatado) o como un mojón similar a lo anterior.
Es un año que ha habido mucho y muy Bueno y malo. A mi el disco de la Harvey me pone a mil por hora, y el disco del pesado de Bon Iver creo que es un disc que a muchos les gustaría hacery que está al alacnce de muy pocos, pero el rollo Genesis ese que me trae tampoco me dice mucho. Año divertido.
Llevo unos días escuchando cosas de listas que no había tenido tiempo como Drake (me ha gustado, máteneme), y EMA que me ha parecido un coñazo supino. En lo nacional este año lo mejor ha venido de la supuesta segunda linea. Digo supuesta porque es primera. -
Coño, cuando hablas de mojón haciendo referencia a lo anterior de Tom Waits, ¿a cuáles te refieres?
-
http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lis ... of-2011/5/
Ahí teneís a uno de los clásicos, la de Pitchfork, bastante previsible, pero bién, bastante bién.

@Disperso:3nm5s064:
Coño, cuando hablas de mojón haciendo referencia a lo anterior de Tom Waits, ¿a cuáles te refieres?
Hablo que sus últimos discos han sido muy personales, y no son discos fáciles, y a que si este último te ha parecido un mojon los anteriores y más recientes deberían. En ningún momento digo que sean un mojón, sino que el artista es difícil de caliblar.
-
no, si caliblar debe ser complicadísimo.
Desde aquí y ahora me gustaría reivindicar el segundo disco del "Orphans". El de, digamos, las baladas. De verdad que si alguien lo tiene olvidado que lo recupere, que para nada es un disco menor. Yo es que es ponerme long way home y ponerme a temblar.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdyscH9TsnA
And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home -
