Since this time last year, we've reviewed more than 300 albums and listened to hundreds more. To compile this list, we reflected on this year's Best Music features, then asked RA staff and contributors to compile their favourites from 2018, eventually whittling down our picks to the 41 titles you'll find below. Each of these LPs is extraordinary in some way, reflecting an exciting development in electronic music, providing a best-in-class example of a particular style, showing an artist excelling like never before, or simply providing a listening experience that, for whatever reason, never gets old. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have.You can listen to a playlist of tracks on Apple Music and YouTube
