Another year… For me it was the year of ambient and modern classical sounds but also of good minimal music. As in 2007 it was very, very hard to choose and place all the albums of 2008. This year from 170 records I chose a hundred, so it was harder than a year ago when I placed albums in Top 50. So here we go:
