So Far, So Good...So What!

I've compiled a list of alternative music from Maltese recording artists released so far in 2008. This is the third year that I'll be polling my blog readers and Mużika Mod Ieħor podcast listeners towards establishing the top favourite releases of 2008.

The number of new releases is as healthy as it was in 2006 and 2007. As ever, I have a feeling my list is not complete. Please let me know if you think there are any additional titles I should add to this list before starting the voting via Facebook. The list is not meant to be fully comprehensive - I am selective - but I would like to include as many titles as possible at this stage, so please don't hesitate to contact me if you think I've missed out on your favourite 2008 release. I'll keep releasing a final list before the voting starts in late November.
