I've only heard a couple of tracks by FKA Twiggs, and I am interested by their sound.

Just to clear it up... FKA twigs is just one female singer/songwriter. But yes still one of the better records released last year.

SACD Better than the CD version but not even close to the audiolicious..

Blu-ray audio 24/192 shockingly great

Finally got the last of my nine new purchases in the mail this afternoon, my favorite of the bunch.

Ahhh... craptastic. Now I have to order this, along with Breakfast; both favorites of mine and I was curious how good the mastering was on the BD versions.

Speaking of Blu-ray Albums...
 


Opeth, Pale Communion.

Wovenhand-one of the year's best rock albums IMO

  She appeals to a lot of folks across genres. I have a very small amount of "pop". The bulk of my music falls into rock, metal, folk/singer songwriters, alternative/post punk and classic 50's-60's jazz. FKA Twiggs has a kind of experimental, electronic, indie appeal that I find quite compelling-very sensual.
 
I love lists. This is just silliness on my part, but currently my favorite non-metal albums last year would probably look something like-not in any particular order except for Swans which is my favorite album of the year-but I have a strong bias towards Swans and their influence on a lot of music I like.....
 
1. Swans (by a mile)
2. Ben Frost
2. War on Drugs
3. Scott Walker and Sun0))-Soused
4. Wovenhand
5. Grouper
6. Sun Kil Moon
7.Saint Vincent
8. FKA Twiggs
9. Beck
10. Joe Henry
 
 
FKA Twiggs is just so different than everything else on my list. It's sexy, lush sounding music
 
With honorable mention going to Pat Metheny, Giant Squid, Luluc, Spoon, Sharon Van Etten, Cloud Nothings and the Menzingers. Haven't heard Robert Plant's album, but I'll bet it's really good. Pink Floyd didn't quite make the cut. I would also  have to put Opeth on the list, but I can cheat and categorize them under metal-even though they've turned into the best death metal turned 70s prog band I know of 

 
Hmmm....a lot of singer songwriters....while 2013 for me had some really great electronic music...the beat goes on and on

Eyes of Silver and Blackwater are excellent as well.  
Dreamer might be one of the best sounding hi res cut on any album I own.
 

   
Ahhh... craptastic. Now I have to order this, along with Breakfast; both favorites of mine and I was curious how good the mastering was on the BD versions.

The mastering on Crime of the Century is even better than Breakfast in America (I own both the vinyl and CD versions as well), I am awestruck with both Blu-ray's

Hearts and Bones - Paul Simon

Pink Floyd didn't quite make the cut.

 
That's because they already made ... "The Final Cut" ... thank you, I'm here all week.

This. Scotland has a couple of other redeeming qualities in addition to single malts - Cocteau Twins being one of them.
