Top 20 Music Albums of 2020 by 
ForegroundNoise 
Had been playing on doing an in-depth dive on each of these (á la my 5 Best Short Releases of 2020 list), though inevitably life gets in the way. Might still jot some thoughts down here and there, but either way I thought it'd be nice to give these records their time in the sun however it comes. Also not sure where else to put it, but special mention needs to go to SOPHIE's HEAV3N SUSPENDED livestream. Despite being only being 20 minutes long, it might genuinely be my favourite DJ set of all time. Rest in peace.
