  I’m deeply dissapointed that although it came out late this year, the collab between Carl Craig & Moritz van Oswald w/ thier reworking of classical pieces on Deutch Grammaphone didn’t make. it is an amazing piece of music….

  What? No Crystal Castles? I’m surprised, their debut album scored pretty high, it’s probably my favorite album of 2008… Oh well…

  Where’s squarepusher? Anyway, it’s an alright list, though I found 2008 a bit dissapointing though.
  On the other handm Portishead’s Third is such a beauty. Hope they’ll release another album soon!

  Happy 2009 y’all!

  Thanks for putting the Lindstrom record on your list. At first listen it seems like such a throwback…but it’s deeply engrossing. I’m so glad the fun and humor is back in electronic music.
