This album is a great listen. The chilling narrative of Gil Scott-Heron and the subtle touch of Jamie XX made it worth listening it again.

09. Bon Iver – Bon Iver

Mellow, beautiful, same as its previous albums but that’s not a bad thing.

08. The Roots – Undun

I wish I could have listened more, The Roots keep proving that they are one of the best bands out there.

07. Big K.R.I.T. – Return Of 4Eva

Re-incarnation of Pimp C. Best mixtape in the past 3 years. Great potential from the man from ATL.

06. The Weeknd – House of Balloons

This album is the combination of an R&B voice with a chilled out instrumentals. Talent went quickly recognized when Drake collaborated with him.

05. Cliff Martinez & Various Artists – Drive OST

Follows the same formula of the Social Network soundtrack. Ambient, noises, airy, elegant, intense. You can enjoy this album even if you haven’t seen the movie, but I highly recommend watching the movie.

04. Blue Sky Black Death – Noir

Underrated album, this has been the most beautiful album that they have put together.

03. M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming

Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is a beautifully well put together album from start to finish.

02. Jay-Z & Kanye West – Watch The Throne

That shit cray. Hip-Hop biggest names get together to let who are in the Throne. Very enjoyable album.

01. SBTRKT – SBTRKT

This is album that I can still listen from start to finish. Great drums, great synths, great vocals by Sampha, Yukimi Nagano (Little Dragon) and Roses Gabor. Best album of the year without a doubt.
