Final review of 2022 and it's the big one - Best albums.

Now I didn't think there would be another good enough year where I could revert to a top ten but this year surpassed expectations with the quality of new music.

So in alphabetical order

• The Blackheart Orchestra - Hotel Utopia
• Josienne Clarke -  Now & Then EP
• Crippled Black Phoenix - Banefyre
• Hekla - Xiuxiuejar
• Indignu - Adeus
• Marillion - An Hour Before It's Dark
• Mortem - Slow Death
• Nerina Pallot - I Don't Know What I'm Doing 
• Emily Scott Robinson - Built on Bones EP
• A.A. Williams - As the Moon Rests

Most years it isn't possible to choose one album above the others but this year I can - and it is As The Moon Rests, the latest masterpiece from A.A. Williams
