Reissue of the year has to be This Heat's 'Out of Cold Storage'.

If it counts as a single, then the best one this year was Ricardo Villalobos's Fizheuer Zieheuer, that's if you don't mind your singles being 40 mins long, if you do mind then fuck knows, I can't remember, the Xerox Teens?

Look at the list people, been a pretty awesome year actually for music, and considering that my memory is like a sieve then there's plenty of great stuff that I've plain forgotton about or haven't got round to yet.

DiScuss if you want.
