maybe not better than the original lp, but certainly more accomplished, if that makes sense.

imo it's better

Anyone just not vote for reissues, even if it's practically your first chance to hear something?
I definitely think twice before putting a reissue or comp on my ballot, but I have done so before and would do again for something outstanding. We don't have a separate list for those records and allow "year of impact" rules on the tracks poll, so I think it's fine.

I just wanted to pop in and say I thought the Thom Yorke album was great

this is my thought process as well, as someone who listens to a lot of archival reissue type things that had limited or no availability at time of release

voted ongaku too! my best ever day haha

I just don't get emo at all.

American Football
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 4 February 2020 16:20 (six years ago)
That, and American Football.
this record sounds way more like a red house painters album with heavy steve reich influences than "emo" tbh
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 16:20 (six years ago)
emo one of several things i thought i was over after high school and then re-clicked in my 30s

i love ongaku
― maffew12, Tuesday, 4 February 2020 16:27 (six years ago)
Clairo's included!
Problem with the albums rollout is that I can't listen through these records quick enough to keep up. Lots of new stuff for me today!
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 16:30 (six years ago)
wait until Underworld places

Really nice bedroom pop album. Good for early mornings and late nights. Not sure where she goes from here though.

If I knew/thought we could vote Kankyo Ongaku, it would have been my number 1 EASILY
― The Mandymoorian (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 16:37 (six years ago)
I'll go up to 50 every 10 mins and rest for an hour so you can take a time to sample the selections so far and keep up!

Kankyō Ongaku! Another one of my votes! Simply brilliant.
American Football album is great too, nearly made my ballot.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 4 February 2020 16:51 (six years ago)
is this an album of dizzee rascal covers?
― ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 16:56 (six years ago)
OK I'm intrigued by that Carla del Forno album having skimmed the review.

So how did a collection of Japanese ambient from the 80s become a board favorite?
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 17:01 (six years ago)
it's really really good!
― let's talk about gecs baby (sleeve), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 17:02 (six years ago)
also, as noted, a lot of it was never available outside of Japan

― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 17:06 (six years ago)
Wow, I'm surprised as well. Perhaps all those individual tracks were just way better than the album as a whole.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 17:06 (six years ago)
really gorgeous packaging but i had to restrain myself and go for the CD version (and even that's still lovely)
