2011 was a year full of great new music I've discovered. In this post I want to show you my Top 3 albums and Top 5 songs of last year. These are albums & songs I played over and over again, because they're so brilliant.

3. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds
A great album, full of songs to just lie down and listen. With a cup of tea and your favorite book. It sounds a bit like Zwan, but for those of you who know Oasis, you'll know that Noel's voice is much more powerful and deep. If you're a fan of indie-rock music, then this is your music.
2. Netsky - Netsky
A very catchy album for lovers of Drum'n'Bass music. I heard it once and then I was sort of addicted. ❤ 'Iron Heart', 'The Magic Russian Bottle', 'Pirate Bay', 'Gravity' and 'Escape' definitely should be on your to-do list!
1. Dope Stars Inc. - Ultrawired
Wow. Just wow. This has been my favorite album this year. I noticed quite late that there's something new from Dope Stars Inc. out there, and I missed a couple months of this great music! It's industrial-rock, sort of, and simply AWESOME. There are so many great tracks on this album, I don't want to list them all, except one: 'Lies Irae'. Just listen to it. Be amazed. It's my all-time-fave. If I'm not doing good persuasive work, this should get you to listen to it:
It's available completely free and legal from the official Dope Stars Inc. web site (
dopestarsinc.com).
5. Crookers - Dushi (Dr. Gonzo)
Nice electro music never gets old.
4. Pendulum - The Island Part I & II (Immersion)
Drum'n'Bass at its' finest.
3. Kraak & Smack - Dynamite (Electric Hustle)
(I know, it came out late 2010, but I haven't discovered it until mid-2011)
I would describe it as house-funk-stuff, really, REALLY awesome.
2. Animal Heart - Miami
A new band, nearly unknown, with a great noise-pop track. I'm listening to it over and over. Very catchy.
1. Dope Stars Inc. - Lies Irae (Ultrawired)
Industrial Rock. As mentioned above, possibly my most played song 2011. Great great great track.
