It's only little but I'd like you all to know about Mathew Sawyer's Sleep Dreamt A Brother. It's fricking lovely and definitely my album of the year.

Just did no feel this one. Not effortless enough. Whatever the fuck that means.

I know what you mean - a couple of stunning moments outweighed the rest

Pantha du Prince & Bell Laboratory - Elements of Light

That was this year? Yes, that's on the list too.

Amazing live - the gig of the year for me (actually the gig if my life so far.)

Yeah, it only just slithered into this year - think it came out in January.

Definitely gig of the year, and definitely in my top 3 ever.

I managed to see them twice - first playing Elements of Light in Barcelona and then their rendition of In C at the Barbican - both phenomenal.

I'll have to eject something from my top ten so that can go in.

For me, the standout albums of 2013 have been these with those starred being my favourites:

...
Bill Callahan - Dream River
...

^. This. +1. Etc.

Pure Love - Anthems

I have to disagree on BoC. I found it sounded like a compilation of all the boring bits of their other records, it lacked the depth, warmth and emotion of their other stuff IMO.

Wow, just listened to Boards of Canada. Really bad. You people need to listen to some Slayer quickly or forever be lost.

I've just checked my iTunes library and the only albums from 2013 I got were the Daft Punk one and Nataly Dawn's How I Knew Her
So those two then.

Ahh, the days I used to wake up to Angel of death followed swiftly by some Nile - winds of Horus. Good days.
Boards of Canada is a different kinda headphase.

Machinedrum Vapor City is sounding good.
