Lekker lijstje, Tomas! Je nummers 1, 2, 3, 7, en 9 zijn vooralsnog ook hier kandidaten voor een 2016 top 10 (weliswaar met een stuk of 25 andere albums ). Ben benieuwd naar die nieuwe platen van Laraaji en vooral Wrekmeister Harmonies (nog steeds één van de coolste bandnamen ooit - Bela Tarr ). Die ga ik spoedig eens wat aandacht geven.

Dan zitten er nog wel een paar goeie bandnamen in dat oeuvre.... Ik zie mogelijkheden voor een gothic act en voor een black metal outfit

Veertien albums die een geweldige indruk achter hebben gelaten, in willekeurige volgorde:

Tim Hecker - Love Streams
Colin Stetson - Sorrow

IAMX valt uit de top 10. Katatonia heeft de rammei opgepakt en stoot door naar de tweede plek. Meer (prog)rock, minder post-punk, synthpop/wave. Teken aan de wand? Nee, maar ik vond weinig goede albums. Verder prima muziekjaar. Opvallend: de oude garde (o.a. Paul Simon, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen) kwam met prachtige albums. IlikeTrains en Soft Kill kunnen mogelijk nog voor verandering zorgen.
