fennesz - endless summer
the microphones - the glow, pt. 2
cannibal ox - the cold vein
radiohead - kid a
chad vangaalen - soft airplane
beach house - s/t
gang gang dance - god’s money
wilco - yankee hotel foxtrot

lcd soundsystem - sound of silver
fever ray - s/t
daft punk - discovery
madvillain - madvillainy
m.i.a. - kala
j dilla - donutsI limited myself to only one album per artist. I doubt any of these picks will be a big shock to anybody, and I’m well aware that this list is hopelessly indie-centric.
