So there you have it, my vision of 2008's finest offerings summed up in 10 pictures.
Feel free to tell me if you think I missed anything or if indeed you disagree. In the end there are way more electronic based albums on the list than I would have imagined but I put a lot of thought into it and I feel that these are the releases i've been able to come back to and enjoy more than any other this year. It's been a good one.

What about any of the times The Mae Shi played!?
Also I thought the Adam Kesher/Yuksek remix would of made your faves?
Proper loving Baby Venom who I didn't know til you put on your myspace so thanks! x xx
nissenenmondaiiiii hihat attack!!! wish i had got some cdrs of theirs...
maz - well, i thought about it and the one at the sunflower was awesome, but didn't quite make the top 15. i was asleep in the back room when they played hott date and i missed them at dot to dot.
& i purposely chose no remixes, see. the list would have had to be way longer if i did.
and no worries.
radiant dragon - you should definitely try and get hold of destination tokyo, it's AMAZING.
