I had the same reaction with black midi. Immediately followed with Black Country New Road and Squid. |

I'm just now listening to Black Midi, which is dominating these lists. Pretty good so far.
Favs so far...a lot of listening yet to do. Lind - A Hundred Years Monobody - Comma Canvas Solaris - Chromosphere Schizofrantik - Funk from Hell The Flying Luttenbachers - Negative Infinity

I had only managed to find three albums back in June when this was posted. I've been listening to some more new stuff over the last month. I think these all might be worthy of around 3.8 out of 5 and higher:
Black Midi - Cavalcade Blacksmith Tales - The Dark Presence Caligonaut - Magnified as Giants Cast - Vigesimus Chance - Original Worlds Cosmograf - Rattrapante Caio Csizmar - Decriptas Czyszy - Agent Mousey The Emerald Dawn - To Touch the Sky Ensemble 1 - Guitar, Bass & Drums Eyesberg - Claustrophobia The Flying Luttenbachers - Negative Infinity French TV - All Our Failures Are Behind Us Snakes Don't Belong in Alaska - The Eternal Electric Landscape Sun Colored Chair - Seated Stephan Thelen - Fractal Guitar 2 Transatlantic - The Absolute Universe: The Breath of Life (Abridged Version)

This is all rather progressive, but maybe not all prog: Matt Berry - The Blue Elephant Atvm - Famine, Putrid and f**king Endless Black Midi - Cavalcade Needlepoint - Walking Up That Valley Sault - NINE King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard: L.W. Elephant9 - Arrival Of The New Elders Sons Of Kemet - Black To The Future Karoline Wallace - Stiklinger + the previously unreleased: Jerzy Milian / Orkiestra Rozrywkowa PRiTV w Katowicach - Znak Wodnika (recorded 1976-1978) -listened to the latest King Gizzard. Its alright I suppose, but I hope they get out of their Tame Impala-phase really fast. |

It must be that time of the year, as many people seem to be posting their lists of their favourite albums from the year so far. So I thought would give it a go. My first attempt at coming up with a short list had almost 70 albums on it….. (sigh)
I kept cutting down until I got to 50 which was relatively easy, and then down to 30, which was harder. But I really struggled to turn that 30 into 25. Eventually I managed, and just for the fuller picture, here in alphabetical order are the top 25, and also the next 25. Top 25: Æetheria Conscientia - Corrupted Pillars of Vanity Aphexia - Interdependence Black Country, New Road - For The First Time Chassm - Falling Forever Cronofonía - Cronofonía Echoes and Signals - Mercurial Fair Wind Pleases - The Wind of the Season Five the Hierophant- Through Aureate Void Föss - Memorias de la Peste Grey Mouse - A Moment of Weakness Grorr - Ddulden’s Last Flight Dusan Jevtovic - Vasil Hadzimanov - DUO Kurushimi - Chaos Remains Laughing Stock - Zero The Lion’s Daughter - Skin Show Massen - ContrAesthetic Minutian - Magical Thinking Mission Jupiter - Talk to Me River Flows Reverse - When River Flows Reverse Sauropoda - Pangea Shiva the Destructor - Find the Others Toboggan - Première Descente The Vicious Head Society - Extinction Level Event Voronai - The Last Three Seconds Way Wau Collectif - Yaral Sa Doom Next 25: Aborym - Hostile Ad Nauseam - Imperative Imperceptible Impulse The Anchoress - The Art of Losing Ángel Ontalva - Songs to Say Goodbye Årabrot - Norwegian Gothic Asymmetry - Anima Atravan - The Grey Line Black Midi - Cavalcade Dewa Budjana - Naurora Confusion Field - Disconnection Complete DROTT - DROTT Jonatan Piña Duluc - Sountrack Vol.1: Secuencia Chloe Herington - Silent Reflux Isnaj Dui - Bright Star JackDupon - La République Dominicale du Zoo No Mandate - Recalibrate Nubiyan Twist - Freedom Fables postcards from new zealand - city islands Real Loud - Real Loud Sons Of Kemet - Black To The Future Squid - Bright Green Field Triangle Singular - Starbreaker Varego - Varego VOLA - Witness Steven Wilson - The Future Bites I’ve listened to not quite 200 releases from 2021 so far, and I still haven’t scratched the surface, as I seem to have listened to hardly any of the albums featuring in the lists for the year so far I’ve seen in the last couple of weeks! |

I usually start digging into the new year around August, so I've only listened to a few offerings, and thus far these would rank around 4 stars:
Caligonaut - Magnified as Giants Sun Colored Chair - Seated Transatlantic - The Absolute Universe: The Breath of Life Ask this question again in the fall and I'll probably have at least 30 things or more to list. I've actually been listening to mostly older stuff from a CD backlog I had, plus exploring more of the avant side of things from the 1970s through the 1990s to add to the ever-growing list of things to look for.
