i’m not going to go on here in any length.  i have compiled a majority of my favourites from the past year from the music that i have wrote about on this very site, as that was the whole idea behind this little project of mine... to share the music that i am finding throughout my travels with people who may find it somewhat interesting as well.  this is the music that has made an impression on me. 

but as i was preparing on getting my list together a few fine folks who i have met through the year have been gracious enough to share their favourites with me as well, which i in turn am sharing with you.  you can click here to view them, or click on 2008 lists... at the top of this page.

anyway, on to my list which is in no particular order and i am sure i am missing some gems that i have just overlooked.

sheesham & lotus - live at northern lights festival boreal

a place to bury strangers

the coloured lights - twelve steps to space
