| Beth Jeans Houghton & The Hooves of Destiny - Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose Now, it seems, her time has finally come. |
| Tennis - Young and Old Transplants the pair’s fine ear for a melody onto rather meatier arrangements. |
| Various Artists - Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan A largely redundant and frequently downright woeful endeavour. |
| Zoe Rahman - Kindred Spirits A set melding its varied constituents into a deeply personal final form. |
| Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 15 (conductor: Bernard Haitink; Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra) The focus is on its genuinely symphonic breadth, the deep shadows and pregnant pauses. |
| Sharon Van Etten - Tramp Album three broadens her already sublime sound while exhibiting greater confidence. |
| Minnie Riperton - Adventures in Paradise Full of peace, love and sensuality, this is one of Riperton’s greatest recordings. |
| Goldfrapp - The Singles The most versatile and glitteringly brilliant pop band of our new millennium. |
| Mark Lanegan Band - Blues Funeral A mighty voice of formidably expressive multitudes, here given room to roar. |
| Emeli Sandé - Our Version of Events A charming and occasionally moving record full of care and polish, effort and grace. |
