valk's 2015: recommended listening

Since listing 100 simply "good" releases feels like a waste of time and nobody's going to check them all anyway, I picked the more interesting of the bunch that will most likely stick with me in 2016 and onwards. Ideally, I'd suggest you to listen to all 38 albums, but the truly essential releases are 1 to 17 + 32. Slightly ranked in order of personal preference more than anything, with EPs at the end (32-38). Cheers~
