| 20 | Sun Glitters | "Where the End Begins" | It Will Be Forever | subject to our jurisdictions and treaties. |
| 21 | Swet Shop Boys | "Zombie" | single | But try declaring petulant victory and see what that gets you, |
| 22 | Postiljonen | "Crazy" | single | and then try declaring glorious defeat and compare who cheers. |
| 23 | Direct | "Oracle Heart" | single | When you hit upon truth, you look in their eyes and you see not you, nor them, |

| 47 | Thyx | "Doubt and Regret" | single | Apocalypse can wait a few more days, we think. |
| 48 | Lichtgestalt | "Tempus Fugit" | Tempus Fugit | (But they pass quickly.) |
| 49 | Divitius | "Serpent Skin" | The Arcadian Parallel | What if you lived life as if every emotional quantity were finite and meagre, |
| 50 | Stag Hare | "Bloom" | Starlights Gloom | but every physical one were infinite and adjustable by fiat? |

| 61 | Max Cooper | "Four Tone Reflections" | Chromos | not because we love you, as we should, because on that count too we will fail; |
| 62 | Carlos Vives | "La Bicicleta" | El Dorado | not because you have learned any rudimentary skill or compassion; |
| 63 | Myrkur | "Två Konungabarn (Single)" | single | but because ultimately no amount of love can rebuild the structures inside of you that your corrosive existence have destroyed. |
| 64 | Mt. Wolf | "Soteria" | Aetherlight | So here's your victory: |
| 65 | Echobelly | "Reign On" | Anarchy and Alchemy | You tried to sell out your own children and all of the rest of ours, |
| 66 | Ifriqiyya Electrique | "Zuru el Haadi - El Maduulaa - Maaluuma" | Rûwâhîne | and we will only be able to save |
| 67 | Penguin Cafe | "Rescue" | The Imperfect Sea | ours. |
