--- Quote ---Rules:
The first rule of this thread is you do not mention MF. I am doing this because we are currently the first hit for the full version of "MF thread" on Google, so y'know, that's bad n' shit.
No hot-linking images or albums. You can re-host images at http://imageshack.us.
Ensure your tags are correct and that you have specified both Artist/Album in your post.
Upload your files in either a .zip or a .rar archive to MF, in multiple parts if the album is over 200mb. The reason for this is that we know MF is safe and efficient and allows multiple downloads. The ads on other sites, such as Sendspace, are known to contain viruses on the page. Get yourself checked out.
Post your link using code tags. It's the # icon above the policeman emoticon. This prevents the links from being traced back to the forums, lowering the chance that the wrong people notice the thread, potentially threatening Jeph with legal action.
Also, please do NOT request albums. This includes requests for re-uploads; if you miss it, try looking for it somewhere else.
Repost the rules at the top of each new page.

Here, give or take a few alterations, are ten of my favorite albums from last year. Maybe my top 10, maybe not quite, but close enough.
10. The North Sea - Bloodline
pitch black, noisy as hell synthesizer mayhem

9. ALTAR EAGLE - Mechanical Gardens
best electro-pop album of the year, totally blissed out and exuberant

--- End code ---
8. En - The Absent Coast
gorgeous, lush, immersive dronescapes featuring a heavily processed bowed koto among other things
--- Code: ---http://www.mediafire.com/?s3v8vsgojph7y1s
--- End code ---
7. Erik K Skodvin - Flare
dark minimalism, an amazing combination of organic sounds (creaking pianos, whispering guitars, radio static) and electronic effects

--- End code ---
6. Xela - The Sublime
The soundtrack to excavating ancient crypts and cathedrals long buried and unseen for a thousand years. An enveloping, graceful, and gorgeously hauting pair of synthesizer masterpieces from one of the genre's finest

--- End code ---
5. Grasslung - Sincere Void
A fantastic drone album that strikes a perfect balance between a pure soundscape and something more organic and tangible. Nostalgic, mournful, each track is a mini-masterpiece; taken as a whole they form a spectacular, cohesive package.

4. Yellow Swans - Going Places
A searing kosmiche masterpiece, propulsive, haunting, unhinged yet far more constrained and considered than much of their ultra-abrasive earlier work.
--- Code: ---http://www.mediafire.com/?mqjgjz5mzzr
--- End code ---
3. Eluvium - Static Nocturne
A sublimely beautiful 50-minute long drone homage to static and white noise both musical and in the natural world. Organs and pianos appear from grainy static fragments, field recordings blear almost to the point and often beyond of recognition, white noise washes - at time thunderously at others with the utmost serenity - over the listener.

--- End code ---
2. Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - Love is a Stream
gorgeous, elating music, a torrent of immense, blissful noise, textures blown out with dreamy haze, shimmering walls of sound with buried harmonies humming beneath. It's often summery and hopeful but also incredibly loud and dense, chaotic and harsh, in some ways akin to both My Bloody Valentine and Tim Hecker's "Harmony in Ultraviolet" (fans of both will be very happy with what they hear in any case) but more abstracted, a stunning sort of synthesis of the two which manages to make these references while maintaining a distinctly original sound.

1. Daniel Bjarnason - Processions
without a doubt one of the finest entries in the modern classical genre in some time. Although not dissimilar to his contemporaries - names like Max Richter, Olafur Arnalds, and Johann Johannsson come to mind - Bjarnason eschews the glitchy electronics and computerized flourishes of the latter two and pursues grander, more ambitious compositions than all three. Jarring, intense, unapologetically epic, there's nonetheless a remarkable sense of restraint even while Bjarnason takes us to the very edge of the precipice.
