I don't about you but I bought a lot of music this year thanks to Bandcamp Fridays. Through regular purchases & deals, where one could get a discography for $10, I bought about 250 ambient albums this year. Yikes! Add in releases that labels & artists send my way & it amounts to a hell of a lot of music.
Thanks goodness for all that music though. I've been stuck working from home for 10 months & would have lost my mind without music. One of the treats that got me through the year was Whitelabrecs excellent Home Diaries series, featuring music recorded during quarantine. I couldn't pick just one release so I cheated & put the whole series in my top 15. https://whitelabrecs.com/home-diaries/
It's hard to narrow down that much music into a final list. I know I will miss things. My favorite album this year was actually an easy choice, it's Mindful Movement by Clariloops. https://clariloops.bandcamp.com/album/mindful-movement
