I still make time to listen to new music and December is always a good time to catch up with what's been happening in the past year. So some of these recordings I only just discovered after browsing some other best of the year lists. I know that the combination of Hans Abrahamsen and Swans might raise some eyebrows, since they represent two extremes of the musical spectrum, but that's why I like them.

Hans Abrahamsen: Let Me Tell You  
 Richard Barrett: Music for Cello and Electronics  
Radiohead: A Moon Shaped Pool  
Swans: The Glowing Man  
Jack DeJohnette/Ravi Coltrane/Matthew Garrision: In Movement  
Young Magic: Still Life  
Alsarah & The Nubatones: Manara   
Keith Jarrett: A Multitude of Angels
