You will dig our selections if you like any of the following:
Marcel Fengler, planetary assault, Ben Klock, Mike Dehnert, Delta Funktionen, Subheim, Broken Note, Matta, Igorrr, Bong-Ra, Enduser…

Well, here we go once again. I must say, for a long time it seemed that the general feeling about 2010 was that it was a bit of a quiet year in terms of brilliant music. In the end though, I think the following list underlines for me just how much great new stuff there really is.

What I love about this year is that when I look down my top 10, each artist there has a very distinct and different feel to it - it seems more diverse than the top of previous lists perhaps?

Of course, if anyone feels like commenting, I'd love to discuss them then. I prefer talking to other people rather than just ramble into the void, as it were.

1) Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me

History will show that at the end of 2006, I stood like some sort of proud buffoon and yelled at anyone who would listen that former-halfling and plucker-extraordinaire, Ms.Newsom, had made her career-defining statement in the quite extraordinary Ys. …

Hello hello!!! It's almost the end of the year, and I'm getting ready to set aside an ENTIRE MONTH to think about my Best of 2010 releases!!! I know it's going to be a massive one. I already compiled a Best of Modern Classical 2010 Mix and it needed to be split into two one-hour parts! So watch these pages for the upcoming Headphone Commute's Best of 2010 feature!!!

Before I set off to revisit all of my favorites, here's a roundup of TWENTY reviews for your reading pleasure, featuring some of my favorite albums of the year. Perhaps there's a gem in this collection that will make you amend your lists! Don't forget to check out our Free Mixes in our Podcast and Subscribe to RSS Feed. And seriously! Leave me a comment or two on here! I hate talking into the void! I know you're out there!!!

Wed 10 Nov – Hauschka, Library Tapes, Braindead Collective

I hadn't been expecting anyone other than Volker Bertleman, aka Hauschka to be playing at St Michael'sbut was pleasantly surprised by both Braindead Collective and Library Tapes. The church itself was absolutely wonderful as a venue - small, intimate, with great acoustics and lots of interesting features to look at while your mind wandered with the music.

Braindead Collective were big, bold, theatrical, at times demonic and others serene. They played a seamless set, moving through their many different moods like a well-oiled machine.

Library Tapes were familiar from my last.fm recommendations, but it was interesting to see the live show. Lovely ambient street noises combined with simple yet enchanting piano work and sparse, haunting violin interludes. Again, it all flowed together as a seamless set and was beautiful throughout while passing through different emotional states. There was a real dream-like quality to the performance.
