27. Kaki King -Dreaming of Revenge: The first Kaki King song I heard was “Playing with Pink Noise” on Later with Jools Holland. I then got her newest album (at the time), expecting more of that. Instead I got some of the most beautiful, dreamy, ethereal pop I've heard, all underlayed by fantastic guitar work that's interesting all on it's own. Kaki's soft, subdued vocals fit the music perfectly, and as a whole package it's near perfect. Mellow, bluesy guitar lines, soft ballads, and flashy acoustic guitar work – what's not to love?
28. Continuum - Continuum II : Continuum II is, without a doubt, the best piece of drone/noise I have ever heard. While I've always praised Construct IV for absolutely decimating your eardrums, special props have to go to Contruct VI for decimating your state of mind; the last half of the song is essentially the soundtrack to a Lovecraft story. Construct V has the problem of being in between two of the most incredible sonic experiences ever, but is still good. As a whole the album is one of the most intense listening experiences of my life, and I wish I could place it even higher than this.
29. Ellen Allien - Berlinette: Simply put, one of the best IDM albums ever (whatever the fuck IDM means). Ellen's vocals really add a lot to the album, but even instrumentally speaking it's near perfect, with a wonderful variety in sounds, interesting beats, and a distinct sense of melody.
