Tussle - Tempest

Unsane - Wreck
Demdike Stare - Elemental (unless this is counted as last year...

(11/30)

xp Yeah, crypto is right. It's still a reissue and not a new creation (like a Soundway or Soul Jazz comp would be).

"year of impact" though?

Is there any 2012 material on Elemental? Last year we allowed Tryptych.

It seemed like half was released in December 2011 and the other half released in January 2012 (although I could be misremebering). Boomkat has the 2-CD edition as February 2012.

Should be fine then.

Lex, can you talk about that "Triumphant" mix? What's it like?

90s house

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7K_TpeP2LE

i listened to it a ton during the olympics

ALL YOU NEED
IS TO REMAIN UNWAVERING

basically the single most joyous song of the year

(the original was whatever but just listen to the moment the acid synth comes in here ahhhhhh)

i'm relistening now and it's just elbowed everything in my top 10 aside

SO MANY ENDORPHINS

Johnny, it turns out that Delilah's "Love You So" was released on December 18th, last year, if you want to make a call/cull in that.

ALBUMS:

Cloud Nothings-Attack on Memory
Ty Segall-Slaughterhouse
Purity Ring-Shrines

TRACKS:

The Men-Open Your Heart
The Men-Candy
Night Moves-Country Queen
Polica-Lay Your Cards Out
Lower Dens-Brains
Cloud Nothings-Stay Useless
Kwes-Igoyh
Absolutely Free-UFO

yeah i didn't know so many people considered "love you so" a 2012 thing, it was around from late november all thru december of last year (and that's when i listened to it most)

meanwhile no one is repping for "inside my love" or even "breathe"

maybe i should nom things soon

It was a single last year, but on her album in 2012. It'll count if you want it to.

Yes, I'd like to vote for it anyway. Pretty sure I didn't hear it until this year. I forgot about it and still haven't checked out the album itself.

it's a good album!

Aren't the rules if it didn't make a previous list, it's eligible?

ALBUMS

Max Richter - Recomposed By Max Richter: Vivaldi - The Four Seasons
Holly Herndon - Movement

(29/30)
I think I'm done here.

TRACKS

Kevin Cossom - Anticipation

5/30

at least 3 or 4 things i ctl -f'd were nommed by kitchen person what does this mean

It probably just means you have excellent taste and that I should probably pay very close attention to all the tracks/albums you nominate that I'm not already aware of.
