Brian Eno
2001 Drawn From Life
2008 Everything That Happens Will Happen Today
2010 Small Craft On A Milk Sea <<< collaborative album between Eno & Hopkins but Duke says Artist and not ArtistS
2011 Drums Between The Bells

Cornelius
2001 Point <<< Not widely available or too expensive
2006 Sensuous <<< Not widely available or too expensive

Fennesz
2002 The Return Of Fenn O'Berg
2003 Live In Japan
2004 Venice <<< Not widely available or too expensive
2008 Black Sea
2010 Knoxville

Flying Lotus
2006 1983 <<< Not widely available or too expensive

Grouper
2009 Roy Montgomery / Grouper <<< Not widely available or too expensive
2011 A I A : Alien Observer
2011 A I A : Dream Loss

Jon Hopkins
2001 Opalescent <<< Not widely available or too expensive
2010 Small Craft On A Milk Sea <<< collaborative album between Eno & Hopkins but Duke says Artist and not ArtistS

2010 Returnal

Tim Hecker
2001 Haunt Me, Haunt Me Do It Again
2003 Radio Amor
2004 Mirages
2009 An Imaginary Country

So it leaves :

Brian Eno
2001 Drawn From Life
2008 Everything That Happens Will Happen Today
2011 Drums Between The Bells

Fennesz
2002 The Return Of Fenn O'Berg
2003 Live In Japan
2008 Black Sea
2010 Knoxville

Grouper
2011 A I A : Alien Observer
2011 A I A : Dream Loss

Oneohtrix Point Never
2010 Returnal

Tim Hecker
2001 Haunt Me, Haunt Me Do It Again
2003 Radio Amor
2004 Mirages
2009 An Imaginary Country
 
My eleventh guess is Oneothrix Point Never's Returnal released in 2010. Why?

1st guess : the family returns to mothers' family in Canada
2nd guess : released in the 1997-2011 period
3rd guess : same as above
4th guess : the album was on Mego label. If you change 3 letters at Mego, it's Boss. Surprised? Not me.
5th guess : who doesn't like Careless Whisper?
6th guess : there's a song called "Describing bodies" that could be about wrestling
7th guess : yes
8th guess : like Donald Pierce, Daniel Lopatin also uses sunglasses in the summer
9th guess : there is blue on the cover of Returnal
10th guess : no BNM on Pitchfork
11th guess : he played in Honduras a couple of time, probably, and bought peanuts several times, certainly
12th guess : Daniel Lopatin and his music are both really sirius and play on the radio
13th guess : Returnal is both electronic and electronic adjacent (ambient, noise and experimental)

Close this thread!

i can see the fire in your eyes.
you've worked hard and this must be it!

but in case it isn't, here is (finally) my own guess, based on nothing but random pick among the albums you shortlisted:
Grouper - A I A: Dream Loss
 
I think I'll announce the ROTM when I wake up tomorrow

And just to help, a couple of layers peeled

The wrestling clip is a reach, it could have been anything,

Dive deeper into the salmon

One clue is related to the label but not the one @Skalap guessed

And I never read the X-Men comics so it's a degree of separation thing

As you've done all the work @Skalap and I'm frankly unfamiliar with all these albums, I'll plump for Fennesz - Live in Japan. Don't ask me to connect to any of the clues though...

Oh I worded that wrong

It was meant to mean Drake and Josh was not meant to mean the label, not that it's not mego
 
Been a lot busy of late but need to make at least one guess. Im getting closer to a breakthrough - I can feel if coming in 2021

So its Leftover Salmons "Euphoria" - Obviously me knowing their discography extensively I opted for the seminal release which cultivated their sound in the decades to come.

A guy spend hours listing stuff and @ByersVinyl guesses a record that is not in the list ?

You did a serious list ?
I assumed you had got wasted and binged on old episodes of Monty Python.
Also my own Sleuthing discounted anything other than Leftover Salmon.
When you eliminate all other possiblities whatever remains just has to be the answer.

I do not play with AotM guessing game. Well, maybe a little bit, but not that much.

BTW, FTFY
 
So I cannot connect anything to the links and could just randomly guess stuff from the list. I am seriously lost this month. Well played @duke86fan . It was definitely a fun guessing month so far. Looking forward to the reveal
 
The ROTM is none other than
Tim_Hecker-Radio_Amor.jpg


Tim Hecker - Radio Amor

Though since no one guessed it I'll give the extra point to @Skalap for his rigorous sleuthing.

I will write the liner notes and explain all the hints on about an hour because I have work so have fun with the ROTM and I will be giving all the information by tonight
