Time of the balance. It’s been a great year for Music … songs, albums, live concert … yet especially Box set, Remastered and Deluxe Edition.
A personal list of my preferred 2013 albums. I’m not able to draw up a real rank, as the positions would change according to the day, to my mood, … to the circumstances. Furthermore in can’t be considered ultimate, as for sure I ignore the existence of some fundamental or interesting work published during 2013 or I’m able to fully appreciate a disc only later, maybe after I listen to it many times or following positive astral circumstances.
I hope you love this music !!!
