2011 it not anywhere near as good as 2010, but what are your favourites of 2011 so far ?

Siriusmo - Pearls & Embarassments
Although it's a compilation of already released stuff (with a few exclusive new or unreleased tracks), the overall
level of this double album is amazing



Emika - Emika
It's probably gonna end up in my top 3, I really loved it ! Dark dubstep (good dubstep, not your average boring WOBWOBWOB stuff)
http://soundcloud.com/emika/emika-album-mix


Amon Tobin - ISAM
A huge change in Amon Tobin sound, surely not my favourite album, but it still has some amazing stuff in it
http://soundcloud.com/amon-tobin/isam-sampler-mixed-by-king


Digitalism - I love you, dude



Mondkopf - Rising Down
A talented new producer
http://soundcloud.com/mondkopf/04-the-song-of-shadows


Metronomy - The English Rivieira
Just for "The Bay" and "The Look"

ISAM was a game changer for me. It didn't understand it, it challenged me, I learned from it, I fell in love with it.

p.s. I want to punch Emika in the face.

My fav 2011 is Tame Impala - Innerspeaker. It was just re-released as a Limited Edition with a bonus disc of b-sides and remixes. And because Erol Alkans rework of Why don't you make up year mind is on that bonus disc it becomes my favourite album of 2011.

My album of the year so far I hate to say is not an electronic one. It is...

Raphael Saadiqs' Stone Rollin'


Old soul feel. A few epic tracks thrown in.

+1

Been one of the better tracks I've heard in quite some time, actually.

Edit:

That, coincidentally, goes really well with this track... Not perfectly, but you get the idea.

Hmmm


Elbow - Build A Rocket Boys!
I Break Horses - Hearts (Shut Your Eyes FTW!)
Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 (not even close to Check Your Head but still one of the better albums 2011)
Sepultura - Kairos (it's not that good, but if they release a record i cannot put it not on a list...)
Moby - Be The One E.P. (best 3 songs from Destroyed)

I would say this is the best release this year by far! This album is filled with some HARD TECHNO EXPERIMENTAL BEATS!


I am also looking forward to Justice's follow up album to Cross , "Audio, Video, Disco" The preview sounds better than Cross! But, we will have to wait and hear it for ourselves.

Also being released this year, that I can't wait for, is ZZT's debut album, "Party's Over Earth" The album is already released limited by 100 cassettes and will be released digitally and CD in November.
