If you heard any album/compilation/EP releases in 2016 that stood out, stuff that is not just good DJ fodder but that can be looked back as classic releases, please share your discoveries here.

Thank you!

Wishing everyone happiness and peace in this new year.

Thank you Bodhisattva, Chlorophil.

Adding one more, not only because I have a track released on it but also because it's a really diverse compilation... and it's mastered by Aes Dana...and it's a free release.

No more recommendations? I'm quite certain there was much more good music from 2016 that people have not mentioned here.

One more favourite...

Kaya Project - So It Was (&... So It Goes Remixed)

Spot on Yidam, those 2 albums you first mentioned were by far the best releases of 2016, in my opinion.
A few more I quite enjoyed:

Banco De Gaia - The 9th Of Nine Hearts
https://bancodegaia.bandcamp.com/album/the-9th-of-nine-hearts

Phaeleh has come up with a couple of very interesting ambient releases since 2014
Phaeleh - Illusion Of The Tale
https://phaeleh.bandcamp.com/album/illusion-of-the-tale

Very promising duo from Greece
One Arc Degree - The Ocean Palace
https://soundcloud.com/one-arc-degree/sets/the-ocean-palace-album-preview

I'm huge fan of the Astropilot's Solar Walk series and this one does not disappoint. The closing track is epic
Astropilot - Solar Walk IV: Youniverse

Then Ultimae of course. Both albums are highly recommended
James Murray - Eyes to the height
https://ultimae.bandcamp.com/album/eyes-to-the-height

Scann-tec - Unyt
https://ultimae.bandcamp.com/album/unyt-2

Finally Matt Hillier released a ridiculous amount of albums again but I've lost track with this guy.
