Feeling a bit scrambled after a brilliant party last night but will try to remember some of our favourite records of 2008.

Crystal Stilts - Alight Of Night (Slumberland)
Eddie Marcon - Kao Ga Aru (Pong Kong)
Tenniscoats and Secai - Self-titled (Noble)
The Advisory Circle - Other Channels (Ghost Box)
Anne Bacheley - Headquarters (self-released)
The Research - The Old Terminal (Full-time Hobby)
Stereolab - Chemical Chords (4ad)
Fennesz - The Black Sea (Touch)
Tape - Luminarium (Hapna)
Portishead - Third (Island)
The Occasional Keepers - True North (LTM)

There were a lot of great 7s too which were enjoyed amidst a ton of rediscoveries and first-time finds. Obsessions included Pata Pata by The Johannesburg Street Band, Splendor In The Grass by Jackie Deshannon and Prismatic Room by Crystal Stilts.
