L'arc - kiyoharu - nil

I've only bought the following albums so far and they will all be my favorites for the year most likely.

L'arc - Dune Remaster: better sounding audio of a great album. I've been enjoying this album for years now.

Kiyoharu - Poetry: nothing groundbreaking I suppose, but it works in a David Sylvian sorta way.

nil - 12 inplosion: I drive alot and this cd definitely passes the time while driving, I've come to appreciate music by it's ability to captivate me while I drive. It's rock that doesn't come across as pretentious, I'm guessing that's why Tetsu left zigzo to be in an indies band... It'll probably be in heavy rotation for quite some time in my players... I've listened to their mini albums quite religiously since I got them a long time ago and this'll be the same.

I'd recommend nil to all!
