Re: 2006 top tens
 

In no particular order:

Hybrid - I Choose Noise
Clint Mansell - "The Fountain" Score
Underworld & Gabriel Yared - "Breaking and Entering" Score
Underworld - Pizza For Eggs
Bad Company - Bad Taste
John Williams - "Memoirs of A Geisha" Score
William Orbit - Hello Waveforms
Mark Isham - "Crash" Score
Nightmares on Wax - In a Space Outta Sound
Thomas Newman - "Little Children" Score

About half of these are film scores. All other albums and tracks that I've been discovering and are new to me in 2006 are older albums and tracks. I've been going through my mp3 collection and finding stuff that I didn't know I had, which is where most of my new music has been coming from.

I need to hit the record store and pick up some of the above listed albums!
