add me to the list of twen fans. also really enjoyed the shinichiro yokota record. thanks for sharing !
put tracks by EXEK, william hooker, koma saxo, upperground orchestra, and CZ wang on the shared playlist. oh, and loren connors / daniel carter just now (didn't figure it was on spotify).
not on spotify are two john zorn recordings, from the "hermetic organ" series, vols. 6 and 8 (the latter being very high on my list).
lastly, and sorry to be a bummer, but i haven't seen anybody mention the new jimmy "duck" holmes record yet, so allow me to briefly register my deep dissatisfaction with dan auerbach's production work.

want to co-sign this ... o.nate's the only other person I've seen mention it anywhere ... i love it:
R.M.F.C. - Hive Vols 1 and 2 - "The Clue" - Devo gets mentioned as a touchstone - not the later "Beautiful World" type stuff but the early "Mongoloid" robotic nasal vocal stuff - but there's also plenty of good old-fashioned gut-bucket fuzz of the proto-punk garage rock variety I associate with bands like The Saints.

there are actually a lot of really good lo-fi hardcore bands from the last decade that have kind of an early devo sound to them... CCTV, the Coneheads, probably also some bands that aren't out of gary

then again DEVO was from Akron so maybe you have to be stuck in that sort of town to make that kind of music

This Moon Duo record is the only Moon Duo record I actually like.

Is it wrong of me to like Devil Master's "Satan Spits on Children of Light" as much as I do?

Wow, the Moon Duo as album I'd great! Reminds me of Flow Motion era CAN. I particularly enjoy the synth sequences on "Lost Heads".
Is there anything else from this year I should check out if I like this?

Lol, my phone is wacky. Should say "the Moon Duo album is great"

A late entry for my album of the year, discovered through a brief mention on the ILM jazz thread, is Hütte & guests play the music of Robert Wyatt by Max Andrzejewski´s HÜTTE. The Turkish singer Cansu Tanrıkulu has a wonderful voice, the whole set is fantastic.

To respond to my own question about an album that might please fans of Aviary: Pies sobre la tierra by Mabe Fratti (from Guatemala) is a very nice 30 minutes ambient pop album with some ethereal vocals, modern classical and traditional music touches, in case that's attractive to you.

Nice list. I think my favorite of the year actually ended up being the Murlocs' Manic Candid Episode which I don't think I've seen on any other list. Great soulful country-inflected garage-psych. The Tourist Activities' EP was another release that snuck up on me at the end of the year, kind of jangly Smiths-influenced female-fronted mope-indie with a bit of surf-rock in the guitar tone at times.
