A week later than planned due a severe Bestival hangover, the list of top ten's from some of your top writers on the Glasswerk team. It has grown to include six of the best lists we've seen for a while. Some of the artists are familiar, some slightly more obscure so there is an email address included at the bottom which you can contact if you require any information on any of the artists mentioned. Or maybe you just want to meet the writer you have such similar tastes in music to.
