Love this time of the year with these lists, allows me to check out the stuff I initially missed out on :D

Have to say my favourite ambient releases of the year were:

Tim Hecker - Ravedeath, 1972
Maps & Diagrams - Get Lost
Deaf Center - Owl Splinters

Wow, totally forgot about Owl Splinters while I was trying to come up with my list! A stellar release indeed.

An honourable mention for Byetone's Symeta, too. I just got it yesterday and it's awesome. Still raster-noton enough, but made accessible in a very classy way.

I don't think I heard any full albums this year that amazed me. I've heard some random good songs. That's about it, really.

I've got a really really good feeling about 2012 though.
