What a year for experimental music, so many good works appearing that a best of kind of feels futile. Here's mine anyway, mostly founded on albums which have struck, and stayed with me.

Daniel's album for me, is an exceptional work, consistently brilliant throughout, something about it has just got-in-my-head and from Home Normal - a label that can do no wrong.

On personal note, thanks for everyone who has supported Futuresequence this year, it means a lot. 2012 sees the launch of our label, a redesign of the site in general and SEQUENCE3 kicking off in February.

Big thanks
Michael.
