There are several common threads in the choices we’ve made, you can find them without me pointing out the obvious.
The EP itself can be a variety of things. An 10-track collection or a three song collection… The Ida Jenshus release could be counted as a full album release, and it would have in the Vinyl/LP days. Anyhow, these are the best of 2014:
