An unexhaustive list of awesome works released in 2009. Records that, from S/A's viewpoint, have marked the past year.
Many others missed out, of course forgotten or not listened to (despite their potential relevance).
In strict alphabetical order, since each of them has caused gorgeous emotions and passionate involvement (in some cases, supported by optimum conditions for listening).
2009 will be remembered for the dawn of promising labels, the definitive achievement of some other ones, lots of hyperactive musicians whose inspiration seems never to run out, therefore, a year of good stuff for your ears.
