Albums
VCMG “Ssss” 
Electro by two legends, pretty darn good in my book.
Tiamat: “The Scarred People”
Dark, dynamic and thought provoking.
Assemblage 23 “Bruise”
More mature, still borderline hypnotic at time.
Susanne Sundfør: “The Silicone Veil”
She must be the next big music export from Norway, in any sane world at least.
Ultravox: “Brilliant”
Aptly named album.
Dead Can Dance: “Anastasis”
Most surprising comeback of the year.
Trust: “TRST”
Canadian indie electro magic.
Daybehaviour: “Follow That Car”
Strongest comeback of the year.
Orbital: “Wonky”
The Hartnoll brothers show why they still are a force to reckon with.
Songs
Ultravox: “Live”
Instantly recognizable as Ultravox.
Röyksopp ft. Susanne Sundfør: “Running to the Sea”
Norwegians masterminds unite.
Tiamat: “The Scarred People”
Fantastic first album track, loads of Sisters of Mercy influences, complete with church bells of doom.
Live artists
Sparks
One mouth, two hands, loads of fun.
Lady Gaga
Anyone riding in on a (real) horse as intro deserves to be on the list.
The Cure
Monster gig at Hultsfred, unless the police had shut them down, they’d probably be still at it.
Newcomers
Vanguard
Well presented and with an aptitude for great melodies.
Ostrich
The new Swedish synthpop hope, Ostrich confirms it can still be done.
Artist
Ultravox
For getting back together and producing a fantastic album and then taking it on to the road in glorious style.
