I've never known the thread starter to be particularly interested in tracks rather than albums, and the thread title reflects that, but someone hit us up with some good tracks lists please. They're usually more fun/interesting.

It's worse than GAPDY if you think it matters that the five this time are all decades old.

Hey some of them are dead. And you can't just filter Beyonce and Solange out because they don't fit the theory.

― Matt DC,
gotta get your snidey remark in as usual, eh?
this type of thread has always had both albums & tracks and there has been tracks lists posted and I'm sure as they come out more will be

Haha that wasn't meant to be snide, you *are* usually more visibly involved/interested in the ILM albums poll when it rolls around.
― Matt DC, Friday, 9 December 2016 15:28 (seven years ago) link
If you would like a reminder of how dire pop music has been this year, I could post the Billboard Hot 100 for 2016.

fair enough. I usually quite like the ilm tracks poll even if its more from a spectator point of view

we did try a metal tracks poll before but the voters werent interested so i dumped it

xpost. Somewhat ironically, now that Wilco are actually sort of good (last two albums) they're vanishing from the charts. Serves them right I guess.

Pitchfork's 20 Best Experimental Albums. I'm working through these. Matmos is really good and Yves Tumor is enjoyable so far.

serpentwithfeet is pretty badass but it's not really what I would bring to mind when thinking of "experimental music"
― ¶ (DJP), Friday, 9 December 2016 17:48 (seven years ago) link
Anna Meredith album is great as well but there's nothing experimental about it at all.
― Matt DC, Friday, 9 December 2016 17:51 (seven years ago) link
Not at all??
― Evan, Friday, 9 December 2016 17:53 (seven years ago) link
Ha, yeah, I don't know if I'd really describe the things I've listened to as "experimental" per se but these lists usually include music I enjoy. xp
― Spiritual Hat Minimalism (Sund4r), Friday, 9 December 2016 17:58 (seven years ago) link
Requirement number one to be an 'experimental art' artist: your album cover must be black & white.

Ok I always roll my eyes at the whole 'easier to admire than to listen to' but that's pretty much where I'm at with Moor Mother
(though "KGBK" just came on, and that's sounding pretty cool)
― sushi and the banh mis (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 9 December 2016 20:44 (seven years ago) link
Ya I like Noname, just didn't call it out cuz it's been in a handful of other lists.

Nice. I've been enjoying Michael Formanek’s Ensemble Kolossus – The Distance. Also, the Pi label is putting out great stuff, like the Steve Lehman (Sélébéyone from the Bandcamp list), Henry Threadgill's Ensemble Double Up and Jonathan Finlayson & Sicilian Defense. Also props to Pi for the coolest integration of their site with Bandcamp:

Does anyone know of any good contemporary 'classical'/compositional/'new music'/notated music lists?
― Spiritual Hat Minimalism (Sund4r), Friday, 9 December 2016 21:21 (seven years ago) link
that bandcamp list may be the one with the most overlap with my best of the year. i'm also really enjoying the terrace martin right now.
― increasingly bonkers (rushomancy), Friday, 9 December 2016 22:17 (seven years ago) link
The Textura list is always a good one for the experimental side of 'modern classical'/jazz/ambient.
