“great selection”
The Demdike Stare debut, the Nosaj Thing album & the Aardvarck - Bloom 4 are all killers!
Thanks for the great selections through 2009!

“Year of the dubstep kind”
You have made 3 best selectios till now, most of the tracks are dubstep like tracks...
Was it really the best stuff in the entire year?
Was this year so poor? Not that they are bad but...
I suggest a 5th selection(not only 4)..
