2013: Favourite album in/out of PA, film, TV show

Doing this series in a sort of random order (not sure how much of a series this will be if I and/or others continue with it), but started with the year 2015.

In the last topic (for 2015) I asked people to be minimal with mentions per post -- there's hardly any harm if people mention the same but I had wanted to avoid "laundry lists", narrowing it down to those that are really special to us, and because I was doing it with youtube embeds, it was to minimise the embeds per post.

I now say feel free to mention as many as you like and as many forms of media as you like (albums, books, film, TV series....), but embedding lots of videos causes problems for many (so maybe keep that to a maximum of four per post, even then that will cause problems for some). My interest is partially in seeing if there is an apparent correlation between our tastes in different arts, how that may reflect on ones personality and more generally just seeing what people like, maybe making personal connections with others through shared tastes, maybe discovering some worthwhile or interesting to oneself things along the way, and just sharing what we like with others.

2013 is quite a weak year for music in my collection apparently (I'm not that organised so I may be neglecting ones) but here are some things I dig:

Album in PA:

Kosmischer Läufer - The Secret Cosmic Music of the East German Olympic Program 1972-83: Volume One



I love KL and it was mentioned by Saper in the last poll. The artist came up with an interesting backstory to go with the "history" of the music.

Album out of PA:

Cristobal Tapia de Veer - Utopia (OST)

The soundtrack of one of my very favourite shows off the last decade. Wont bother posting something from the soundtrack as I'm listing the show itself.

Film:

Under the Skin (horror/ sci-fi)



I found this rather surreal film very powerful and ultimately moving and poignant. The comments I have seen on it have been divisive.

TV show (first season/series):

Utopia



This British show received an Amazon US remake, which I started on but didn't finish. It's hard when the original affected one so much to appreciate remakes commonly, and it's a rare remake that lives up the the original, especially when it's a remake of another countries show. It can be very violent and disturbing. I was upset that it only lasted two series/ seasons, and signed more than one petition to have it continued.

Another of my very favourite shows that kicked off in 2012 was In the Flesh, which also sadly only got two series and that really needed a third.

Will post another trailer for that:



And we had the excellent series two of the British anthology series Black Mirror (White Bear being my favourite episode).

Love to see what you liked from the year. :) And you don't need to mention one of each of these, you can cover as many or as few "arts" from the year as you like.
