ur '25 MROTYs

[jadd]

instead of having the usual AOTY discussion now that 2025 is almost complete, I suggest that we share our most fav "Music Releases Of The Year". pick 5. LPs, EPs, singles, whatever.

• oklou - choke enough
• disctr4k - inner body movement
• kettama - archangel
• iglooghost - bronze claw iso
• swami sound & gum.mp3 - state of emergency

honorable mention to our very own plaza vol. 2!

(picking just 5 is really hard. imagine having to pick one?? impossible)

Hard picks this year and I'm not even 100% sure this is representative of my year as a whole.

Anamanaguchi - Anyway (Altrock/Chiptune)
Twenty One Pilots - Breach (Basic pick)
Toby Fox - Deltarune Ch 3/4 Soundtrack (iykyk)
No Mana - Odyssey Soundsystem EP (trance/house)
The Protomen - Act III: This City Made Us (80s operatic rock)

Honorable mentions to new Good Kid, Sharks, Skybreak, Space Laces, Deadmau5
