Hallucinogenic Horses?

Not sure whether this is the kind of thing you're looking for, but you could try Fearsome Engine, and the rest of Nano Records' output. Also, dare I say it, Chemical Crew. They've released some utter shit but the track you posted kind of reminded me of Exaile, so you might like some of their stuff.

Juno Reactor Someone else go, I'm short of inspiration right now.

Yes. Thank you.

Planet B.E.N.

GMS?

Yes

That's exactly what it is. What do you call the thing on the left?

Crop Circles, right? Good one. It's quite likely that noone else on this forum will understand this next one, so I'll give the answer if nobody gets it by this time tomorrow:

Working on it...

Second one is Synchro.

Apparently this track dates back at least as far as 2006.

Not many I expect, but I don't doubt that many people here have listened to samples of over 100 new albums on Saikosounds and elsewhere this year, which is a pretty reliable way of dismissing some of the 90%. Presumably the poll will also allow users to abstain from voting for 10 albums in each category if they haven't heard 10 albums which they think deserve a place, as in previous years.

Indeed. May I suggest allowing people to vote for a top 10 instead of a top 5 this year? There weren't that many voters last year, and giving people more votes would lead to more statistically meaningful results (also it's been a good year).

Misted Muppet

Mmmmngh! So it is.

Cool cover, what is it?

Medicine Drum. Anyway I'm off to meet some people so someone else can have my go if I got it right.

Nice cover.

Yeah, no downtempo album I've heard this year has really stood out for me. Except for the Machinarium soundtrack.
