Good call on the Dominic Miller album. Not in my top 10 but a damn fine album.

I don’t usually go for the meandering melancholic ECM sound but this one managed to be relaxing without being sleep inducing.

I didn’t participate in this thread last year, however I share your opinion of Palomino and probably would have listed it if I had

Absolutely refuse to post about this before December as there’s always something to discover late on. That said, the thread so far has helped remind me of albums I’ve heard and whether I rated them or not. Has also tipped me off to some good stuff.

This one for me without a doubt
Best thing they have done since Let It Bleed IMHO.

I think Sticky Fingers and Exile might have something to say about that…

This is wonderful! Passed me by when it was released but discovered thanks to this thread - thank you.
I wasn’t even aware that Hawkwind still existed. I last heard them late at night when I was a university student. The new album is great, and I realise that I have missed about 35 studio albums. The great revelation is the third mind. I have been a fan of Dave Alvin for a long time, but again, had missed this supergroup. I can’t stop playing either of the two albums. Thank you for Introducing me to new albums for 2023. I will work my way through the rest of your list.

I’m glad you like it. It’s one for all the Mark Hollis and Peter Gabriel fans.

For me the stand-out album of the year is Natalie Merchant’s ‘Keep Your Courage’. The songs are fantastic, the arrangements beautiful and the voice as good as it ever has been. My favourite female artist over nearly 40 years.
