98.

Ben Frost
Theory of Machines
(Bedroom Community, 2007)

Not the hyper aggressive, constantly tense minimalist project that Frost put out this year, Theory of Machines remains the masterwork from which that album is framed. The album is a massive slab of industrious noise/drone/electronics that balances the transitions between beauty and doom perfectly. A magnificently high minded album of pure mood.
