Album Of 2005 (so far)

Well, as we are nearly half way through 2005 already my thoughts turn to what has been my album of the year so far.

I will go for 'Gods and Monsters' by I Am Kloot, closely followed by 'Songs for Silverman' by Ben Folds and 'Some Cities' by Doves. Honourable mention for debut of the year to Bloc Party's 'Silent Alarm'.

Box Set of the Year has only one serious contender - 'The Complete Peel Sessions' by the mighty Fall. 6 CDs worth of all the tracks ever recorded by this wonderful band for the John Peel show. As close to a complete document of their career as you can get.

Reissue of the year is a tie between Paul Weller's 'Stanley Road' and The Kinks' 'The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society'.
