Different Noises 64

With over 1,000 new releases being sent my way, or purchased, this year it has been difficult to keep a perspective on the year as it has been generally very good indeed. As I turn my mind to the inevitable “end of year” lists I wonder if it is going to be possible to narrow down so many releases - perhaps it ought to be an artists/labels of the year list? - this might give me the flexibility I need. This selection is no exception with a variety of genres and styles in play all of which could be well placed in any such list.
