I'm doing this in a chronological month to month/ season to season way for a change rather than a top 10 or top 20 way. Starting with early new year then proceeding through to the latter months of 2013. A very rough and off the top of my head list, no doubt will remember more after i've posted Winter Villagers - Nothing Arrived David Bowie - Where Are We Now? Haim - Don't Save Me Spring Daft Punk - Get Lucky Daft Punk - Contact Steve Mason - A Lot Of Love Summer Disclosure - Help Me Lose My Mind Tegan And Sara - I Was A Fool Camera Obscura - Break It To You Gently Autumn Pet Shop Boys - Love Is A Bourgeois Concept London Grammar - Strong Moby ft Wayne Coyne - Perfect Life Edited by user 06 December 2013 11:57:31(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Thanks for reminding us. If you missed it, you might just enjoy the video too:

The Mission - The Brightest Light - 3/4s of the original gothtastic line-up return with an album devoid of anything gothy. EDIT - I forgot about Johnny Marrs album, that were alreet too.

In no particular order, some good LPs from this year: Maps Vicissitude (anything Chapman does is worth a listen) White Lies Big TV (anthemic, formulaic but some great pop songs) Public Service Broadcasting Inform-Educate-Entertain Pet Shop Boys Electric (a welcome return to form after the MOR Elysium) New Order Lost Sirens (yes, really) Neon Neon Praxis Makes Perfect Chvrches The Bones Of What You Believe I liked the Daft Punk album in places but it's overexposure and scheleb guest spots turned me off; Get Lucky got extremely tiresome extremely quickly. Surprisingly I found this year's Moby and Depeche efforts difficult to get into; not sure if that's because they're crap or if I need a bit of time off them in order to appreciate any new stuff.

I don't know about Moby, but the reason you may not have liked Delta Machine is that too many of the songs on the album - the opening track most obviously - don't have a complete set of verse chords and then chorus chords. Releasing Heaven as the first single - and then not waiting for The Freemasons' remix - didn't help sales figures either. Still worth a Saturday evening's listen though...

The vocals are very Liz Fraser, arent they? Don't think i've ever heard anything so similar in vocal style to Liz as that. Though that doesn't mean i was that into the song, sorry.

Agreed, Get Lucky does my head in when i hear it now. I guess i was kind of listing the songs that had an impact on me and i liked at the time, which Get Lucky did when it was first released.But the song is just annoying now.

I'd heard of Foals for quite a number of years but much like The National had gone out of my way to avoid them as had them down as crap indie for 21 year old hipsters with beards.But have to say Bad Habit i do like.

I did see him on Jools sometime this year and he was really good but didn't really investigate any further until recently.This was a standout performance on Later
