1. Do Make Say Think
You, Youre a History in Rust(Constellation)
"Another fine outing by DMST. Christoffer Nelson, Winnipeg MB
"Yet another amazing album from one of the best post-rock bands. Angus Dickin, Saskatoon SK
"These guys blow my mind especially live. Jennifer Kennedy, Victoria BC
"Non-stop genius. From start to finish it is about as close to perfection as it gets. Philip Harrington, St. Johns NF
"An intense, emotional ride that leaves you wandering around waiting for the next DMST album. Brandon McGregor, Port Williams NS
2. Tallships Tallships (Independent)
"A ragged and energetic post-rock explosion from the nation's capital. Chris Cook, Ottawa ON
"So much energy and the music gets so loud and so quiet, almost interchangeably without coming off as heavy handed. Josh Reed, Ottawa ON
3. Torngat
You Could Be (Alien8)
"Sensual and highly listenable. Imagine an equally talented Tortoise with a clever sense of humour and a dash of Montreals edge. This is a disc that needs to be listened to from start to finish and then played all over again. I really look forward to what the years ahead will bring for this talented band. Sean Wraight, London ON
4. Eluvium
Copia (Temporary Residence)
"Some kind new school minimalism drone. Anyway, its exactly what I wanted. If only this bleak and mesmeric soundtrack could continue to play as the backdrop for my abysmal life. Sean and Andrea Warkentine, Winnipeg MB
5. John Zorn
Six Litanies For Heliogabalus (Tzadik)
"The most solid release from John Zorn, Mike Patton, Trevor Dunn and Joey Baron in their series. With the addition of electronics and a choir, the group have been able to make avant-garde music reminiscent of Zorn's band, Naked City. The instrumentation is louder than previous discs, and Mike Patton's vocals are his best since Mr. Bungle's California. Overall, this is one of the best John Zorn releases of recent memory. Bryce Maruk, Calgary AB
"One of the most amazing album of our decade, Six Litanies shows what humans can do with instruments, with those humans at their peaks and at their most primal. Amazing experimental record. Alex Pelchat, Sainte-Thérèse QC
