2008 Music Chart - September

Some really big hitters this month from Mogwai, finally knocking NIN from the top spot (yet another impressive instrumental album), and Metallica plus some interesting albums from My Epic, Arther and Matt Wertz. I have moved things around a bit based on repeat listens. The Proceed album, even though it is short, is a revelation and deserves a high place. And higher places for Seth Lakeman, British Sea Power and Counting Crows.
