I know its absurd, but I'm serious.

Don't have Morse, and when I was going to order it Wayside was out.  Still not back in stock, so they don't get to make my top 10.

And Uchi-Mani Deluxe is pretty awesome, if you like Uchihashi's guitar style and Mani's drumming.

10. The Cozmik Orkestrah - Blackhawk (Wink)
 -Yes, my own band, but damned if this isn't my most listened album of 2010.  The great thing about being a 100% jam band is that I hear new things every time I listen, and the chemistry my bandmates and I have always blows me away.

9. Yakuza - Of Seismic Consequence
-Just some really kickass sludge metal, plus saxophones.  Their singer has a voice I absolutely love, and basically what this band is - one of my friends says it best - "Profound Lore Records' answer to Baroness"

8. Jaga Jazzist - One Armed Bandit
-Really groovy, this album flows more than near anything else I've heard from this past year.  Time flies by when you are listening to this.

7. Kayo Dot - Stained Glass EP
-Kayo Dot is the most exciting band of the 21st century, it's always fascinating to see where they are heading musically.  I really enjoyed this one, short as it was.

6. Negura Bunget - Vîrstele Pamîntului
-Brilliant, but probably for fans of black metal only.

5. Alcest - Ecailles de Lune
-Conor put it better than I could possibly be bothered to

4. Kayo Dot - Coyote
-Beautiful agony, in form of music.  Plus, as with all Toby Driver music, a dollop of insanity on the side.

3. Agalloch - Marrow of the Spirit
-Bleak, beautiful, and hella groovy; I never thought they could make an album better than The Mantle but here it is

2. Yugen - Iridule
-Italian avant-prog with strong stylings like those of Picchio dal Pozzo.  Fantastic.

1. Jean Louis - Morse
Okay, I lied when I said Kayo Dot was the most exciting band of the 21st century.  This avant-jazz three-piece explodes my brain every time


honorable mention:
Cloudkicker - Beacons
Elephant9 - Walk the Nile
Red Sparowes - The Fear is etc.
Extinction Algorithm - My Forest is Dead
High on Fire - Snakes for the Divine
Finntroll - Nifelvind
Intronaut - Valley of Smoke


okay, I need to change this now.  Swans' My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky is going in between Morse and Iridule now

So glad to see the great acclaim Swans got with their come-back, also here.
Looks like you're caught in the Swans spell these days Tongue

I've caught it hard, and actually this one is one of their best I'd say.  So beautiful
