When all was said and done in 2009, I'd have to say it was a pretty interesting year in underground music. Ranging from the epic vastness of Voorn's Balance mix to the sun trilogy of albums from Nickodemus, Luciano, and Hawke there were sadly so many good albums that didn't make the cut because of the wide spectrum of talent that caught my ear this year. So without further ado, here is my first of two year-ender lists. Coming soon-the top 20 singles...
