The first half of the Godspeed was stronger but it needs to be heard as a whole, their best record in a few

Can album is awesome. I forgot to vote for it, then decided that anything I might remove to make space for it would need the vote more, so left it. Wonderful album, though.

re: Can, have been mollified by explanations that this stuff really is 'new'. it then becomes purely a question of taste and voting decisions
― imago, Monday, 7 February 2022 18:14 (two years ago) link
My personal voting policy is no rereleases / no compilations, and I voted for Live in Stuttgart because it's novel and it rocks

77. Various Artists - Heisei No Oto- Japanese Left-Field Pop From The CD Age, 1989-1996
This is outstanding, I've only been playing one track from it Dream Dolphin - Take No Michi. Very taken with that, hopefully a couple of the others follow suit

I was a little on the fence about it, but I did vote for a different newly-issued live album that was recorded decades ago

is your argument that CAN is bad, actually?

imago arguing that Can is bad, saying old GYBE is better and bringing up Fantano is enough reason to ban him from this thread tbh

I haven't listened to a full Altın Gün album but I do like a bunch of their stuff so I may well check that out.
― emil.y, Monday, 7 February 2022 18:55 (two years ago) link
what genre is Altın Gün?
― rob, Monday, 7 February 2022 18:56 (two years ago) link
Oooh, the Altin Gün record is cool. Don't think I voted for it, but generally their output has had some lovely moments. Hey Nari was my fave from this one.
Didn't spot the new Vanishing Twin this year!

My favorite part of the "Ice Cream Whine" Tik-Tok is the third character that's just some dude walking by and getting caught up by the beat

re Altin Gun: “Ordunun Dereleri” was my #1 track so check it out. It's a bit more chill/normy than e.g. Paavoharju but not way off, very satisfying.
― Vangelis fleadh (seandalai), Monday, 7 February 2022 19:10 (two years ago) link

this was my #5 it is sick. prog doesn't just live, it thrives, and the kids love it

Still refusing to listen to Black Midi because they're not actual black midi.
― emil.y, Monday, 7 February 2022 19:11 (two years ago) link
After finding the first Black Midi album a bit half-baked and not really committing enough to any of its many ideas, this one was a pleasant surprise. More measured, but just as ambitious. Didn't vote for it, but I could have.

xpppp to e.mily
I'm curious about this, since the tracks I've heard through the poll are much more synth pop/Italo sounding?
― change display name (Jordan), Monday, 7 February 2022 19:14 (two years ago) link
Their previous albums were a bit folkier, but this one blends in plenty of synthpop too, you're right.
― tangenttangent, Monday, 7 February 2022 19:15 (two years ago) link
altin gun is a band that i listen to occasionally but would prob be blown away by in a live setting

Haha, my initial idea for the design was to make a series of shapes - like the stars and circles I ended up adding in there - and use them as containers for the images. Use some 8/10 different ones either random or by genre… it would’ve looked “tarot-esque” but ditched the idea because I would’ve needed more time.
