Top 20 of 2012 - The Longlist

Hello

Its that time of year where I start reviewing the new music I've listened to over the past year.

If you're not too familiar with the approach, you can see the 2011 Longlist and 2011 Shortlist posts by clicking the links.  Basically anything which has been released since Jan 1st 2012 is eligible.  I've narrowed down about 50 albums and EPs to a Long list of about 100 tracks.  I'll then go through and select a Top 20 of 2012.

It's a good way to review the year and find some new music along the way.  Hope you enjoy.

Cheers

Andy
