10 Fuck Buttons – Slow Focus
And they’re back. The might Bob ‘Shellac’ Weston produces which explains that wall of noise that slaps you across the face, then picks you up, slaps you again, throws you across the room and overwhelms your body with its sheer wonder and joy.

7 Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
The pop hit of the year, tho probably not the album that people expected after hearing that single. Disco, soft rock, and prog-pop, along with some Broadway-style pop bombast and even a few pinches of their squelching stadium-dance aesthetic.

6 Congo Natty - Jungle Revolution
It doesn't get more jungle than Congo Natty. At a time when D&B is thrust under the floodlights of stadiums, bastardised by pop-step and twisted with trance, ‘Jungle Revolution’ is a rare – and totally rude – reminder of the sound's original roots. Dubby sub-bass, carnival brass and crisp, crunching percussion, Congo Natty revives raw reggae wonder.

3 My Bloody Valentine - m b v
It’s the album everyone expected to be Number 1 (unless they thought it'd be Bowie), and it’s not exactly far off. Returning exactly where they left off, m b v immediately throbs into life, and keeps on giving. Psychedelic, ambient, melodic and even almost poppy. As good as they said it was at the time.
(the track that will appear on the Spotify playlist is from an earlier album, as the new one isn't on there. but it sounds pretty bloody similar.)
