My top 10 though in no particular order:

Teeth of the Sea – Your Mercury
Teeth of the Sea – Hypnoticon
The Goner – Behold a New Traveller
White Hills – S/T
Barn Owl – Ancestral Star
David Wrench – Spades & Hoes & Plows
Master Musicians of Bukkake – Totem 2
People of the North – Deep Tissue
Rangda – False Flag
To Blacken the Pages & Korperschwache – A Way Dark (may be 2009 actually!)

And still quite a few I’d like to hear from previous stuff I have or recommendations on here e.g. Wildildlife, Sun Araw, Korperschwache, Voice of the Seven Thunders, Holy Sons etc.

In terms of old music new to me this year, a big thanks to Rob Young’s book Electric Eden for Comus (First Utterance), Incredible string band and late Talk Talk/Mark Hollis stuff.
