'tis list season again again

i know it makes no sense to keep dropping lists before commencing operations, but scanning some best of 2020 lists to see what i've been missing and finding little overlap, i’ve instead come up with a favorite fifteen myself. this is ranked for the exact amount of solace offered by each rather than some intrinsic state of masterpiece:

treasury of puppies (förlag för fri musik)
kelly jayne jones: the reed flute is fire (takuroku)
keith rowe: gf suc (amplify)
musa dwarf: ammollaan (lal lal lal)
claire rousay: quarantine concert, march 21 (experimental sound studio)
oliver leith: good day good day bad day bad day (another timbre)
tara clerkin trio (laura lies in)
taku unami: the idiot dictator drifts on the lake (amplify)
datblygu: cwm gwagle (ankst musik)
grey park: railroads/fight fire with rifle (self-released)
tricky: fall to pieces (false idols)
juice machine: status quo (falt)
kassa overall: i think i’m good (brownswood)
cate le bon & group listening: here it comes again (mexican summer)
mac blackout: love profess (trouble in mind)

for possible future reference ...
