I used to listen to so many albums, maybe 100 per year... nowadays I don't have enough time or the right mood to sit down and listen.
It's a brief list but here's the list of albums I've loved in the past two months, not enough for a top 10 and technically KING is a compilation, Anna Homler a reissue from 1985 and Livanskiy an EP...
Anna Homler & Steve Moshier - Breadwoman & Other TalesAnimal Collective - Painting WithAnderson Paak - MalibuPrins Thomas - Principe del NorteKING - We are KingKedr Livanskiy - January SunWacław Zimpel - LinesGood WIllsmith - Things Our Bodies Used to HaveDavid Bowie - Blackstar
Some ilxors might enjoy my albums list far better than my songs list, I usually go for more "world creating" experiments in albums and easy stuff on singles.

Playlist is updated through March.
(Please note that due to the snowballing onerousness of trying to backtrack and update the entire thread stem to stern, I'm only updating entries made since March 1 to this particular playlist. I'll do a clean sweep at the end of the year to mop up anything that got added to catalogue later. If there's a track that you think really needs immediate inclusion, bring it back up again onthread and it'll get added in the next month of housekeeping.)

New Melanie De Biasio is amazing - Lynch noir meets In a Silent Way. Oh and for those who want to know more, she's a Belgian jazz singer. Previous album, No Deal, is well worth checking out. Was thinking of starting a thread.

Seiho - Collapse
Enjoying this for now. Mostly ambient, often disjunctive, electronic music with jazzy bits. At times not far from Cornelius. I don't listen to too much music like this, so I don't think I have the right category slots or "sounds like artist x" to describe it.
