it was also incredibly LOUD! drowned out some of the dialogue at times. Reminded me a bit of Clint Mansell's soundtracks.

Intentionally loud though.

It looks flat but if you look closely, you can see little grooves that the needle fits into.

The S/T album would make my top 5 except it's not technically out til the middle of January 2015. It is out there though.

As for my own tops of the year best gig had to be The Necks in Christchurch, I can't really remember much beyond that though..

Best album is Swans - To Be Kind tho since so many have said it already I'm gonna say A Sunny Day In Glasgow - Sea When Absent. Played that album so many times. There was so many amazing albums this year, my longlist is like 25 albums.

Best track is Boris - Melody, first track on Noise. Their 19th (!) album and they still got it.

Jaysus, McLusky? When did they reform? Saw them at the Shellac night of ATP in 2004, they were great. Would love to see them again.

They just did three benefit gigs recently to raise money for venues that are closing down in Wales and London. It was basically Future of the Left playing a set of mclusky songs with a friend on vocals to sing the parts of the old bassist.
