Over the last 10 days we’ve counted down Breaking More Waves favourite 10 albums of the year. We even used a formula of sorts (see above) to calculate it. It's probably one of the more scientific album of the year lists you'll see this year. Yet even though we calculated it this way, our gut feeling on what would be our top 3 was correct. Sometimes you don't need maths to help determine what you really love. It would be like calculating if your boyfriend or girlfriend was marriage material based on a spreadsheet. Some things ...

You've seen our top 50 albums of the year . But what did Guardian critics' individual lists look like? Here's the full list of votes from our critics. We asked them for their top 10 albums and tracks of 2011. Then we tallied up their votes, awarding 10 points for first place, nine points for second place and so on, ending with a solitary point for any albums in 10th place. The total number of points were counted and any ties were decided by who got the most first-place votes. Adam Boult Albums 1. Cloud Nothings - Cloud Nothings 2 ...

Elika : No One Gets Lost - MP3 Il y a plus d’un an, Summer d’ Elika avait été un très gros coup de cœur. Evagelia Maravelias et Brian Wenckebach reviennent en 2012 avec Always The Light , un LP annoncé pour le 5 mars chez Saint Marie Records . No One Gets Lost , le premier extrait, est un exemple parfait de l’univers du duo, dans la veine dream-pop de ce qu’on leur connaissait.

by TMT Staff • December 2011 Our Favorite 50 Albums of 2011 list reflects a multiplicity of trends. Yes, it continues our own trend toward the esoteric (Hype Williams), the difficult (Tiziana Bertoncini & Thomas Lehn), and the overlooked (KWJAZ), but it also trends toward an embrace of transition in a time of sensory abundance, a time when nostalgia and memory have become aestheticized, a time when the very process of music-making has become increasingly audible and our valuation of it increasingly suspect. Trends are often equated with homogenization, superficiality, conformity, and reification, written off by those uncomfortable with change, people too afraid to commit in fear of sinking with a trend once it reaches its inevitable conclusion. But in 2011, all trends demanded critical ears, not only because they hinged on the same impulse that increased awareness and impact for marginalized voices — which, outside the music world, manifested in political occupations and revolutions before we even realized it — but also because trends are as ephemeral as our values of them, coming and going, twisting away from logic and producing ruptures and permutations that disrupt preconceived notions and turn over values we’ve internalized as given. Pessimists might dismiss this embrace as a capitulation to the rhythm of capitalism, symptomatic of a consumer culture whose signifiers are pretty much dead weight in the context of a sanctified modernism. But optimists see this sensory explosion as simply more potential breaking points, increased opportunities to partake in both demystification (Tom Waits) and deconstruction (Bill Orcutt), democratization (Oneohtrix Point Never) and myth-making (Liturgy); more chances to extract new value from traditions (Rafael Toral) and elevate kitsch from the dumpsters (James Ferraro); to prove wrong those who prematurely announced their death two years ago (Lil B, Shabazz Palaces, Death Grips, etc.); to uncover new constructions of the mind (The Caretaker), body (Colin Stetson, DJ Diamond), and spirit (A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Grouper); to find new mediums (The Flaming Lips), temporal ...

2011 has come and gone pretty quickly. It's weird to think that 2012 is right around the corner. This year brought us a lot of good music, so much in fact that Dan and I both have our own lists. There were so many good albums out that it was pretty hard to narrow it down to 25, and plenty of albums I was not sure where to even place. Now, granted I know most of you might disagree or be annoyed that certain albums made ours or didn't, but remember, this is all strictly opinion. We'd ...
