9 +1 From Nils

1. M83 — Before the Dawn Heals Us
   (melancholy french synthfest that draws heavily on JJ Jarre, and sometimes veers on the edge of schmaltz but ends up being the album Air should have done)
2. Stars — Set Yourself On Fire
   (canada can do no wrong, yet another brilliant band and album from montreal)
3. Sigur Rós — Takk
   (as much as i keep thinking their new albums are disappointing, they have a way of sneaking their way back into my cd player and winning me over slowly but surely)
4. Royksopp — The Understanding
   (i may be in a minority, but i actually prefer this to melody am. much prettier and stronger melodies, including a few stunners as well as a couple of throwaways)
5. Magnet — The Tourniquet
    (not as heartbreaking as his last album "on your side", but still beautiful)
6. Broken Social Scene — Broken Social Scene
   (again, montreal strikes)
7. JR Ewing — Maelstrom
   (the polish dampens the rawness of their last cd, but makes the band even more listenable)
8. Film School — On & On (single)
9. Supersilent — live at GAMH, San Francisco (amazing)
10. Gravenhurst — Velvet Cell(single)
