neue töne (1086): upcoming albums 2012

nun habe ich es mir doch angetan. dabei hatte ich mir fest vorgenommen, heuer dieser arbeit aus dem wege zu gehen. doch was solls. mir selbst bringt die übersicht einiges, wenigstens als kleiner orientierungsfaden. ich beanspruche keine vollständigkeit noch richtigkeit der daten und angaben. nicht zuletzt fehlen die vielen spannenden releases kleiner companies. das würde den rahmen sprengen. bereits jetzt gibt es hinweis auf über 130 veröffentlichungen mit fast 60 soundbeispielen.
ergänzungen (in den kommentaren) nehmen wir gern entgegen, gegen eine aktualisierung sträuben wir uns aber.
