--"A Sharp History of Blunt Objects"
Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes is an album produced by T Bone Burnett featuring a collective of musicians recording under the moniker The New Basement Tapes—Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens, Taylor Goldsmith, Jim James and Marcus Mumford. Wikipedia
This stellar group of singer songwriters set to music Dylan lyrics from 1967 never recorded. This is from the Basement Tapes period. Really something special.

Was also a great year because Mezzanine - Massive Attack has finally received a vinyl reissue, sounds so great on wax.
Oh I forgot the new Andy Stott and Actress records!
Huh, no one is mentioning the U2 Apple force download album..........
Lots of really good re-releases this year. Charlie Brown in a MF Doom mask...and Linus as Dr Octagon. Wow
James - La Petit Mort
Band of Skulls - Himalayan
Both bands from the Queen's side of the pond. Oh, and anything Lemmy did because Lemmy.
Todd Terje - It's Album Time
and Underworld's 'dubnobasswithmyheadman' was reissued for its 20th anniversary. It was a little harder to come by on vinyl before that.
A.C.T - Circus Pandemonium
Sonata Arctica - Pariah's Child
BABYMETAL - BABYMETAL
I don't really buy stuff that's new, I just dip through time until I find stuff I like. Things released this year though that tickled my fancies:
Aphex Twin - Modular, Syro etc.
Faust - Just Us
Captain Beefheart - Reissues
The Fall - Uurop VIII-XII Places In Sun & Winter, Son
Panabrite - Wasteland Cycle
The Future Sound of London - Environment 5
Gong - I See You
@monzo - I am so out of touch!! There was a new Gong album out this year??!! New material or remasters of the old stuff? Who was the line-up?
My own personal fave has only just been released and I'm currently pulling it to bits in Cubase to try and decode the arrangements and production techniques..
Astral Projection - Goa Classics Remixed
Some 20 year old 'right bangin' tunes brought up to scratch with todays production ethics
I am in favor of Captain Beefheart.

An album of completely new material: http://www.amazon.co.uk/I-See-You-Gong/dp/B00NH6FBX0 - a new line-up apart from founder Daevid Allen. They've been putting out new stuff every few year and touring a lot too - I saw them with almost the original 70's line-up, including Steve Hillage a couple of years back in Bristol. A brilliant band, and pioneers of electronic music. The new album is a bit more like the early stuff - Camembert Electrique-esque.

There was a good batch of re-releases - - Lick My Decals Off, Baby, Clear Spot and the Spotlight Kid. Bat Chain Puller was out a couple of years ago. I like his paintings too.
I like dysfunctional, disjointed, obtuse stuff. Predictable/regurgitated music by numbers makes me want to chew my own leg.
I usually don't listen to as much as I would like but this year I have a top ten, which I posted on http://www.uberrock.co.uk/features/87-december-features/13352-uber-rocks-albums-of-the-year-2014.html
I don't even know if Flux by Belew is officially regarded as an album or an app, it get's a little confusing! I have both Flux:FX and Flux by Belew. Anyway, here's the list.
1.) St. Vincent - 'St. Vincent'
2.) Tune Yards - 'Nikki Knack'
3.) Thank You Scientist - 'Maps of Non-Existent Places'
4.) Primus - 'Primus & the Chocolate Factory With Fungi Ensemble'
5.) Adrian Belew - 'Flux'
6.) Royal Blood - 'Royal Blood'
7.) Knifeworld - 'The Unravelling'
8.) The Dowling Poole - 'Bleak Strategies'
9.) Shellac - 'Dude Incredible'
10.) Damon Albarn - 'Everyday Robots'

Last saw them in Bath in '96 (I really need to get out more!!)
Interesting the amount of prog rock on people's lists.
@xen said:
Wow, I missed that somehow - strange as I was working in Bristol at the time!
The Ozrics are good - I came back from wandering around a festival once to find they'd erected a stage around my VW camper and the guitarist was sitting on the roof. They played until sunrise - needless to say I didn't getuch sleep that night...
@mkell424 said:
It seems that the majority of this board are prog fans.
@monzo said:
Sounds like a good night!
Yeah, Ozrics are quality - that was a cracking line-up that day, I'd just started getting into Porcupine Tree and they played a blinding set. There was also Gilly Smyth on doing her 'Glo' ambient/chill stuff.
I occassionally blog about favourite albums. I did a "best of" post this year: http://mixnpick.wordpress.com/2014/12/27/best-of-2014/ This was my top ten:
WORDS AND MUSIC: David Shrigley, Malcolm Middleton
SOUSED: Scott Walker and SunnO)))
SYRO: Aphex Twin
ST VINCENT: St Vincent
LP1: FKA Twigs
CLARK: Clark
NIGGAS ON THE MOON: Death Grips
A U R O R A: Ben Frost
THE JOY OF MOTION: Animals As Leaders
YOU’RE DEAD!: Flying Lotus
Hahaha, wherever I go, they're always about
- good to hear from the grown up (?) space cadets amongst us. Likewise spent many enjoyable yea enjoying Gong, Ozrics, the Ullulators, Hawkwind, Can, Amon Duul, et al. Looking back, I guess they provided the transition between rock & electronic sounds to some extent, particularly in the early 90's when the uk festival scene momentarily merged with 'rave culture'. Richard D James following Hawkwind at a Brixton allnighter was a moment to behold, not sure a lot of the assembled crowd knew what hit em at 2am after hours of space rock !
As for good listens from 2014, some new stuff & a lot of re-issues & things that I had only just got around to (re- ) discovering...
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - 1 & 2
Chad Van Gaalen - Shrink Dust
Vladislav Delay - Visa
Jon Hassel
Lumen Drones
Some Truths
Moritz Von Oswald Trio
Gas - Nah Und Fern
Harold Budd & John Foxx
Irmler & Liebezeit - Flut
Burnt Friedman & Jaki Liebezeit - Secret Rhythms
Susumu Yokota
I love threads like this. I always end up with half a dozen new albums sitting in the input stack.
Is good to share !
I think a lot of musicians like prog because as a genre, it promotes musicianship and other musicians can appreciate that. Wow, that is a lot of "musicians" for one sentence!
P.s. I really liked the new Pink Floyd album too!

Rad list, JENNY DEATH WHEN!?!?!?
Edit: i just went on your blog, looks really interesting, defiantly gunna give it a better look when I have a minute.
I think NOTM wasn't on many lists because the full album hasn't been officially released digitally or in physical formats, and will probably be considered a 2015 release (fingers crossed). Idk what to expect from jenny death, I wasn't really into the single they put out..
Thom Yorke album is growing on me (once i figured out how the hell bittorrent worked)
