my music consumption has been radically shaped by my project of pillaging the music library at the university where i work. so i cant really answer the question about best music to come out in 2005, but i can make a little listof the best music i found this year.
salvatore sciarrino/lost cloud quartet: la bocca, i predi, il suono
morton subotnik: silver apples of the moon/the beast
pandit v. g. jog: classical indian violin
albert ayler: holy ghost
franco & ok jazz: originalite
billie holiday: lady day on columbia
lcd soundsystem
christian marclay: records
the rhino comp (of 70s punk): no thanks!
johnny hodges: passion flower
