well kids, the votes are in, the tallies counted, and the numbers crunched. before i present to you the run down a few observations:
a much more divided vote than last time. more people voted than last year, with more albums nominated, and not such a clear winner. last year arcade fire's funeral walked the vote, with something like double the nominations of the nearest runner-up. this year is a lot closer. does that mean that there have been less great albums this year? well, it depends on who you ask. quite a few urbanites only nominated one album with comments along the lines of "this is the only decent album this year". however they invariably nominated different records. it seems that a lot of urbanites feel this has been a bad year for music. special mention goes to perplexis, who sent a desperate revision later on as he'd changed his mind as to what the best records actually were. cheers pal, that spannered the numbers! also, perhaps it's just me, but most of my favourites didn't make it onto the final top 30. what's wrong with you fuckers?

Booka Shade - Movements
German electrohouse dudes tipped as the next Underworld, apparently.
