2012: another good year for the music we love.
Time to give an account.
Time to publish another "Best of the Year" list.
50 favorites, a sonic map concerning the recent past.
An incomplete map, of course: lots of releases waiting to be listened to, missed, unforgivably forgotten.
New labels launched, some other ones shut down recently, pleasant discoveries of artists and works, expectations met.
An increasing diffusion of titles in digital format is expanding the possibilities of getting them quickly but, at the same time, the number of them daily available is growing considerably.
Spiritual Archives wishes a Happy New Year to all followers and readers.
Enjoy the list (in alphabetical order).
