I loved so much stuff this year! This is what I remember loving most… however I’ve probably forgotten a few and will kick myself later… I must say other than our own releases I think Iron Griffin is my number one record of the year, it completely won me over from first spin and has never been far from the turntable since its release. Also it seems everyone at the shoppe has Ara - Gurre (Into Endless Chaos) on their list which I would say makes it our Record Of The Year!
