Actually that should be (25/30) as my Jazmine Sullivan, Maya Vik and Susanne Sundfør tracks were already nominated. Apologies for that.

xposts

But maybe I need to ask for a moderator to delete my original lists; I don't want people to ctrl-F search this thread and pass up nominating something based on what's in them...

And it was supposed to be

Tracks
Miguel - Leaves

(25/30)

Is it OK to nominate the Aphex Twin soundcloud dump as one album? I've organised it and listen to it as such on iTunes.

If so, would suggest:

AFx - Sc

as the descriptor, since that's how a number of the uploaded tracks were labelled by RDJ (albeit a minority)

i like adele

add Motörhead - Bad Magic. Great album.

Has this been rolled out yet? Been basically away from ILX for about a month.

you can still vote!

Voting is open until approximately Saturday morning UK time.

Lowtide - Julia

cover songs you did not expect to find in an EOY list

Joshua Abrams - Magnetoception

― Ari (whenuweremine)

Man I wish I had heard this sooner so I could have voted for it. It's a pretty great jazz-ish/world-ish/trip-ish record.

That was ~#3 on the Wire list iirc, not heard it yet though

I like Magnetoception a lot, though compared to genuine Gnaoua/Gnawa records its a bit reserved. Still most partial to the Laswell-touched Night Spirit Masters.

It was also on P4k's list of Best Experimental Records (but I found it via Marc Masters' Pazz n Jop ballot)

(and from the same ballot I've also found out about Heather Leigh's 'I Abused Animal' and Byron Westbrook's 'Precipice'. I guess it was a pretty good ballot)

I've been meaning to hear the Joshua Abrams records from last year but I've gotten pretty lazy about things that aren't on Spotify - and the one with Bitchin' Bajas was vinyl only iirc?

There is some beautiful stuff on the Joshua Abrams album but it sure could have done with some judicious editing.
