Before we come on to this week’s, I must highlight last week’s BBCRadio3 The Essay with @hannahpeel.bsky.social — showcasing some of the great (& too often occluded) women composers of the modern electronic era. Each is a mini-revelation, I promise

it's so paradoxical the music scene & venues & musicians are struggling so much - yet I can't remember a time when so many artists have put out so many absolutely top drawer releases.
Albums that would have previously been my favourite of the year now seem to come out on a weekly basis.

Cloudflare going down is a bit like the 21st Century equivalent of 1970s UK workforce vs management disputes.
It's Friday and Cloudflare is down and I can hear admin drones across the country shouting "Right, everybody out! We're not having this!"

Album end-of-year lists are just as suspiciously samey as ever 🤷♂️
I’ve listened to less new music this year because I’ve been making music so much, but here are the 2025 albums I’ve been listening to and enjoying a lot. I’ve probably forgotten loads, but I’ll try and fit these over 3 replies 👇
