I would like it if the people who hadn't heard many of the "obscure" picks of 50-21 would check them out.I'd like to hear that Alex Moulton. Every link I find online has expired/been taken down.

Unfair target, maybe: HGN probably shells out the cash for more music than a lot of ILX0rs (see posts passim) and I get the impression he's a try-before-you-buy kind of dude ... as indeed am I, unless a recommendation is spectacularly glowing, and comes from someone I'd trust with my life/first-born/etc.
THAT SAID ...

Grimly is right. I check out stuff I don't know on mp3 then buy if I really like it. In this case I do and I will when I can afford it.
― The User Formerly Known As Pfunkboy Latterly Known as.. (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 19 February 2009 15:58 (seventeen years ago)
boy did i sleep on gang gang dance. would've made my top 5 for sure had i heard it in time.
― Disco/Very (Roz), Thursday, 19 February 2009 17:34 (seventeen years ago)
are their earlier stuff any cop?
― Disco/Very (Roz), Thursday, 19 February 2009 17:39 (seventeen years ago)
The earlier stuff is more straight-up experimental rock, less influence from hip-hop, dance/house, etc.
I'd check out God's Money, their previous album, and delve deeper if you enjoy that one.
― ilxor, Thursday, 19 February 2009 17:53 (seventeen years ago)
will do, thanks.
― Disco/Very (Roz), Thursday, 19 February 2009 18:14 (seventeen years ago)
If I had heard this album in time, I would have nominated it:

re: purchases vs nicks, my search for d.lissvik via a 'studio' search brought wolfgang voigt's studio 1 comp which relates i believe to the gas entry on the list. haven't heard gas but this studio 1 is bringing a great deal back home right now.
― whatever, Thursday, 19 February 2009 23:21 (seventeen years ago)
should have added i bought the voigt.
I'd check out God's Money, their previous album, and delve deeper if you enjoy that one the parts that are much harder to enjoy

pleased to see gang gang dance polled so high. deserves many further listens.

Gang Gang Dance really could've challenged Portishead on this evidence
― I want sprinkles (country matters), Friday, 20 February 2009 00:11 (seventeen years ago)
But that's the joy of these things, isn't it? There are three records on this list -- GGD, School of Seven Bells and Grouper -- that I'm pretty sure would have made my list had I heard them. Hey ho.
― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Friday, 20 February 2009 00:15 (seventeen years ago)
school of seven bells sounds pretty good. they're playing glasgow on the 24th so i might pop in if it isn't sold out. Grouper would have definitely been top 10 if I had heard it in time.
― Gukbe, Friday, 20 February 2009 00:17 (seventeen years ago)
Yeh, I'm working the night of the 24th which is a massive, massive, massive pain in the bollocks. I could try haring down straight from work but I doubt I'll make it in time :(

grimly look at the metal poll thread
― The User Formerly Known As Pfunkboy Latterly Known as.. (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 20 February 2009 00:20 (seventeen years ago)
Heard the other day that School of Seven Bells are also supporting Bat For Lashes on her UK tour in April.

― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Friday, 20 February 2009 00:31 (seventeen years ago)
It would've been in my top 5, likely top 3, if I'd voted.
― Bianca Jagger (jaymc), Friday, 20 February 2009 03:08 (seventeen years ago)
not totally positive it would have made my top 20 but it is definitely a great album, and props to ILM for the heads up on it.
― devin harris with an appletini (call all destroyer), Friday, 20 February 2009 03:09 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah, exactly (xp). I think GGD has picked up well over 100 phantom points since coming 4th, maybe more like 200. Big props to ILM.
― I want sprinkles (country matters), Friday, 20 February 2009 03:10 (seventeen years ago)
It was actually the Gang Gang Dance thread a few months ago that turned me onto it, rather than this poll, but yes: big props to ILM.
― Bianca Jagger (jaymc), Friday, 20 February 2009 03:20 (seventeen years ago)
ha well otoh portishead would have picked up at least 12 points from me

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 6 April 2009 21:28 (seventeen years ago)
argh these threads are pretty hard to find/scan for in search (maybe just because there's a close bracket right after the word ALBUMS in this case). might be worth editing the titles to make them a bit easier to find (ie come up top in search results for '2008 albums poll results' or whatever).
