Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate - Self-titled - 9/10. I'm a fan of Malian music so this hit the spot.

Rough Trade Album Club - January 2010 Pack

Well Well Well it seems The Album helped me start the new year in style!

These New Puritans - Hidden + a very good bonus Cd - 9/10 A great companion to those rainy days. I tested it out while walking in stormy weather and it felt marvelous.

Jesca Hoop - Wearing My Dress - 8/10 Another excellent winter album. Slightly unbalanced folk with great melodies!!

Fanfarlo - Resevoir + a great bonus cd of radio sessions - 9/10 Unfortunately I bought this one already months ago but the bonus cd compensates nicely.

Let's hope I don't get a duplicate for Feb!!
