The 12 great albums of 2012 that nobody listened to
Overlooked classics from the past year
- Actress � RIP: Actress (aka Darren Cunningham) produced a unique digital sound that many have found hard to pinpoint or place into any particular genre. Possibly the reason behind this album slipping under a lot of radars is the fact that it takes a while to get going. Once it does get going, 'RIP' delivers a whole host of signature sounds including the ambient 'Uriel's Black Harp' and the digitally distorted 'Jardin' The album was eagerly anticipated, but perhaps due to Cunningham's lack of enthusiasm for media hype, it quickly left people's thoughts. The record is fantastically produced from start to finish and for that alone it deserves more recognition.

There are usually one or two albums a year that you absolutely adore, but for some infuriating reason just don't get the recognition they deserve.
You spend weeks listening intensely to some great records that it seems just no one else is listening to. It's a sad fact that all too often great albums do slip through the net in an age when it's so hard to fight against The X Factor culture and the increasing number of acts who put out talentless blobs of garbarge get into the top of the charts. Not naming any names, of course...
So this list is our homage to the brilliant albums that have had some of us enthralled, but have eluded so many this year.
Take a look through our gallery and see if you find any forgotten favourites.
