I must check out that Kelley Polar album. I've never listened to any of his music.bump his thread when you do, also listen to the first (better*) album first...also the decent 'Au Suisse' album from two years ago

Listen to an album you've never heard by an artist you never listen to and then tell us about it!

Just found a few albums sorely missing from the lists above that def paint 2008 in a slightly better light (all are absolutely phenomenal and would be in my top 10 for the year easy):
Flying Lotus - Los AngelesFennesz - Black SeaHammock - Maybe They Will Sing For Us TomorrowBeach House - DevotionM83 - Saturdays = YouthQuiet Village - Silent Movie

I feel Los Angeles was a seminal record that helped usher in the west coast bass sound and revitalized experimental electronic music in the US the way Burial did in the UK post-Warp/IDM, making it cool.

I finally got around to that Fennesz record last year after being a casual fan for decades, it is indeed great

Respectable 3rd place for Lindstrom. That's the album out of all of these I go back to the most.
