We pick the 25 best albums from the first half of the year. It’s music that traverses the Echoes soundscape, including six CD of the Month picks, and possibly some surprises. The number one album is from an electronic icon of Echoes (you guessed wrong…) The number 25 is from an Indie band who made one of the more curious and idiosyncratic albums of the year. In-between is a jazz icon, a fusion guitar hero, a singer from Sweden and more. Find out when we count down from 25 to 1, on The Best of Echoes 2015…. So Far.
