ShariVari omitted a couple things for which there were few other voters, and I'd welcome his/her cultural context for Naadya - Naadya (which I heard as a Russian Florence with better tunes) and Ivan Dorn - Randorn (which I heard as a Ukrainian jazz singer engaging with UK funky) as well.

These are the ones that didn't make it in from my ballot:
Objekt - Flatland
Objekt always struck me as one of the more boring of the post-dubstep producers, but this album is a total jam. The sound design is just outstanding for one, and musically it's a proper sci-fi rave up with atmosphere aplenty and some remarkably hard-driving electro/techno moments.
Eyvind Kang - Alastor: The Book Of Angels vol.21
While it's missing Jessica Kenney's remarkable vocal work which was a key ingredient in Kang's previous The Narrow Garden, this instrumental record still incorporates all the twists and turns you'd expect. The track Variel, is typical of this, a centrepoint between seventies adventure soundtrack, Arabesque fantasy and toytown parade; he manages to blend influences from all over the musical map as if they were always supposed to happen.
Back in a bit with more...
