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 just included the parenthetical "(Demo)" because that's how she titled it for release.

ALBUMS

Baba Sissoko - Three Gees
Oshun - Asase Yaa

TRACKS

Aces - What Do You Think They'll Say About Me?

(12/30)

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.
