The good albums of 2005

[Bargo]

After seeing him support Caribou on his recent Australian tour, I want to give massive props to Mountains in the Sky's album, "Celestial Sun".

It's an absolutely beautiful piece of work. Fans of Manitoba/Caribou, Four Tet and Future Sound of London might really enjoy it, as I can detect a few similarities when I listen. As the album builds to those crashing strings in The Snowcapped Incident I get goosebumps every time.

His visuals during the live performance were bloody fantastic too. Really nice animation pieces. If this album gets an international release, and hopefully it will, check it out.
