Better late than never. A few things have changed since I handed my top 20 list in to Consequence Of Sound, change in these sort of lists is a natural thing over time. But this is fairly accurate, valid and lasting. Ranking your darlings ain’t the easiest thing you know… I can’t tell for sure, but between these there’s a minimal, almost microscopical, amount of space. It’s a tight collection and tough competition for the ranks. Enough excuses for now, here it is.
