I posted this Zombi vid on the other thread and here it is again because it seemed to get some positive remarks from everyone.
If you like Alex Moulton,Tangerine Dream or Goblin, then you might love it.

Video is Zombi - Spirit Warrior. From the album Spirit Animal.

Yeah, the Zombi album is enjoyable.
The Mew track = lush epic with vocal polyphony and a great passage in 11. The right side of bombastic. Etienne Jaumet = makes 3/4 work as a house beat. Sax skronk. Trippy.

I have 45 ballots so far, I got about 85 last year so let's see if we can beat that this time
― musically, Monday, 18 January 2010 20:17 (fourteen years ago) link
I got 86 ballots in the '70s album poll, so surely we can.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 18 January 2010 20:19 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh you will, I got 50 in our poll an increase on last year of 20. I'll submit my ballot later, need to think about it and my hands are full with the poll results. Hows your new format for voting going?xp
― Pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 18 January 2010 20:21 (fourteen years ago) link
it's pretty terrific, I don't have to do any formatting or extra work, I just have to add a points column, which will probably take about 5 minutes, and then do a pivot table to calculate points. it will probably take me about 30 minutes total at the most.
― musically, Monday, 18 January 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm basically deciding at this point whether to order my ballot or not - the bottom five or so get so few points it doesnt seem worth it
― guardian nagle (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 00:34 (fourteen years ago) link
I saved those spots for obvious consensus picks that I like, trying to vote strategic this time.
― sleeve, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 00:37 (fourteen years ago) link
hmm
― guardian nagle (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 00:38 (fourteen years ago) link
ok so for trax i made a rule that i would only vote for something that had an official music video, and i didn't allow any deep cuts from favorite albums
― guardian nagle (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:48 (fourteen years ago) link
hope people don't forget just how good Tirsdagsjam is.

I would never forget about Turdgasm

I could've sworn I nominated Dizzee's Bonkers and La Roux's Bulletproof...
― Cunga, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 19:51 (fourteen years ago) link
You used 9 of your nominations, said "6 left," and then never used the rest.
― The Titi Hendricks Experience (some dude), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 20:59 (fourteen years ago) link
Thought for sure somebody nommed Zero Boys, but no big.
― Pete Scholtes, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 22:29 (fourteen years ago) link
Missed the nomination process. Apparently nobody liked Music For Men and Sally Shapiro.
― LeRooLeRoo, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 22:38 (fourteen years ago) link
musically did you get my email?
― guardian nagle (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 20 January 2010 05:07 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, I can't change the ballots in the form as they are so I'll change them when I start tallying, I'll reply to confirm once I do it.
― musically, Wednesday, 20 January 2010 05:16 (fourteen years ago) link
sorry about that, thx
― guardian nagle (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 20 January 2010 05:28 (fourteen years ago) link
aw shit, I misread the thread title and thought this was a best of the 2000s poll. ignore my ballot then.
― pass the chicken & listen (unregistered), Thursday, 21 January 2010 15:04 (fourteen years ago) link
regret hit immediately after sending it. would never have been happy though.
― Freddy 'The Wonder Chicken' (Gukbe), Thursday, 21 January 2010 19:15 (fourteen years ago) link
so did we decide that 'real life is no cool' will be in the 2010 poll? just checking before i submit my ballot...
― psychgawsple, Thursday, 21 January 2010 19:34 (fourteen years ago) link
unreg didn't you notice that every album on the list was from this year? or did you not read the directions
― ethan PADGY (k3vin k.), Thursday, 21 January 2010 19:38 (fourteen years ago) link
anyway musically how many ballots so far? Are not gonna get as many as last year?
― ethan PADGY (k3vin k.), Thursday, 21 January 2010 19:40 (fourteen years ago) link
2010 poll, psychgawsple.
― Freddy 'The Wonder Chicken' (Gukbe), Thursday, 21 January 2010 19:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I've finally decided on the final album for my ballot - man, that took so long, including sometimes enduring some real "poop" on the noms list. The trax were sorted within 10 minutes.
But thanks to whomever nommed Omar S (i gave it a few listens last summer, then inexplicably put it aside for the rest of the year - truly amazing, fun stuff), whomever nommed Ben Frost (brutal, searing, powerful and beautifull) and Joris Voorn (madskillz!!) - they're all in my ballot.
Ballot heading musically's way this evening
― De que estas hablando? (Tannenbaum Schmidt), Thursday, 21 January 2010 19:56 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, the Ben Frost is great, more people should hear that. Here's the opening track:

musically, can i ask you to email me a copy of my ballot? w/ that new submission format i realized i didnt keep a copy of my votes! either the email address i submitted or webmail here is fine, thanks!
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 21 January 2010 20:27 (fourteen years ago) link
xpost Yeah, someone posted about that Ben Frost on some thread around Christmas time and it became my soundtrack for the holidays. I spend a lot of time driving across frozen Canadian landscapes not a lot different than that video.

you had to miss a whole lot of other stuff besides the thread title to not pick up on that!
i'll email the ballots out tonight, google docs is blocked on my work computer so I can't tell how many are in, i think there were 65~ yesterday. we had about 85 last year so hopefully we can at least match it.
― musically, Thursday, 21 January 2010 23:17 (fourteen years ago) link
submitted!!so you should have at least 66

I dont see it on the list from which we can choose. shame, cos i would have chosen it,
― De que estas hablando? (Tannenbaum Schmidt), Thursday, 21 January 2010 23:42 (fourteen years ago) link
and 67
― forksclovetofu, Thursday, 21 January 2010 23:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Voted. My #1 is hugely tactical but it was such a great record I'd be gutted if it didn't make the list, and a lot of my other favourite's don't need my vote.

― Freddy 'The Wonder Chicken' (Gukbe), Friday, 22 January 2010 00:25 (fourteen years ago) link
so can i still vote for lindstrom and christabelle's "keep it up" if we can't vote for rlinc? it wasn't released as a single, only as a an album track. i'd love to make some room on my list but otherwise it would be pretty close to the top
― psychgawsple, Friday, 22 January 2010 00:54 (fourteen years ago) link
ugh, *as an

I have no investment on whether L+C's new album should be included in this poll, but I'm curious -- were there really not enough tracks + albums from 2009 that you like that you need to pick stuff from a 2010 album?
― Mordy, Friday, 22 January 2010 00:57 (fourteen years ago) link

oh, what I meant to say was ignore my nominations upthread, which I posted a week ago. but I see that they've long since been ignored, so 's good.
now to fill out a ballot :p

did i not say i'd love to make some room on my list?
those tracks leaked in like september or something, and "keep it up" is genuinely one of my favorite songs i heard this year
― psychgawsple, Friday, 22 January 2010 01:54 (fourteen years ago) link
plus it IS on the ballot.
― psychgawsple, Friday, 22 January 2010 01:57 (fourteen years ago) link
err, list of noms rather

"baby can't stop" would be a defensible choice, can't see any scenario where a freaking album track from an officially 2010 album would be ok
― ethan PADGY (k3vin k.), Friday, 22 January 2010 02:07 (fourteen years ago) link
Hey, is it cool if I vote for Contra? (jk)

― Pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 22 January 2010 02:17 (fourteen years ago) link
I have 83 submissions so far, I checked and last year I got about 95 total submissions, and since about 10 people didn't do a tracks or albums it equated to about 85 or so each. There's usually a rush last day so I'm sure we'll beat last year by a bit.
― musically, Friday, 22 January 2010 02:53 (fourteen years ago) link
Hey musically, I'm going to compile & submit my lists tonight, but is it OK if send you a few blurbs separately, in the days to come? If not, it's cool.. I'd meant to write a few things, but I forgot about the deadline I don't know if I'll have the chance to do it tonight.
― ron paul revulvalution (Pillbox), Friday, 22 January 2010 03:02 (fourteen years ago) link
so how are folks handling things from 2008 albums like Taylor Swift? she didn't get much love in last years list iirc.
