Upcoming releases for 2009?
 

In addition to new material by Underworld (of course ;)), what artists' upcoming albums are you most looking forward to hearing?
If there's a date on the horizon, good! Share it. If it's a wishful pipe dream, well, share and dream on.

For me, looking forward to supposedly-almost-finished LPs by:
Way Out West
The Prodigy
Hybrid
Franz Ferdinand (1/27) - i heard it's supposed to be more dancey?:p
Depeche Mode (4/20)

and though it's more a long shot:
Peter Gabriel (will this be the year for I/O?)
Orbital (new record after their summer festival reunion?)

Here's some scheduled release dates for the near-term:

Looking forward to new releases by:
Hybrid
Trifonic
Goldmund
Tycho

It seems like I never know about new albums from some of my favorite artists until they just one day appear out of nowhere. I wish there was a giant master list of weekly releases for every artist everywhere. I hate how certain websites only cater to certain types of music.

Hopefully something new from Boards of Canada.

Interesting list, also becaues I don't know all the names you mention.

About Royksopp, I'm really curious about the new album and hope it's going to be better than The Understanding. I loved their first album and their remixes are AMAZING, but I didn't really care about the second album. I hope they return with a really nice one.
Curious about Martyn as well, heard some cool stuff from him.
To me, when I first heard Trentemoller I thought it was great, but after a while I guess "the novelty" wore off. It's still good, but it doesn't hit me the way it used to do. The first two times I saw him live was great as well, but after that it got really same-y.
Gui Boratto's live sets are really good. I'm actually seeing him spin (or play) in February, so I guess I can expect some new stuff.

Yeah, just heard about the Royksopp 3rd LP today! Add that to my list. I'm with you, Leon - "Melody AM" had such great atmosphere, the second one seemed kind of forced and a bit too uptempo by comparison.

Along those lines, i wish Lemon Kelly would get back together and release something this year :o

Maybe this'll be the year for a new Yellow Magic Orchestra release, everything is in the cards why can't it just happen already?

Whatever The Fall release this year, they're always good.

Also, the new Dan Deacon release, his stuff gets better every year, got really high hopes for this one...
