With my votes for Henki, Agor, SIMBI, Nine, Sensational, SoK and depending how many place today, I might be at a record in the top 26 or top 33. Or it might all crumble. I have high hopes that 333, Vulture Prince, Mother, Happier than Ever, Hey What, and Mercurial World will place. I also have hopes for Spiral and Collapsed in Sunbeams, although nothing from them showed up in tracks shockingly. I guess any more jazz is out of the equation, though I didn't vote for 1.8, Promises or Open the Gates and jazz is suddenly very contentious apparently (not that surprising for a genre experiencing a sort of comeback after 40 years), and I don't suppose we will see Haram.

HTRK would have been high on my ballot (possibly number one) if I'd gotten round to listening to their album before voting

have placed 4 and am expecting 0 more, but that isn't going to stop me listening to your offerings with pitiless judgement

had always thought of CFCF unkindly before, probably for irrational reasons, but this is pretty engrossing. 'gravure idol' just finished & was particularly so. if we're not going to get death's dynamic shroud, this will have to do instead, lol

Have placed 4 and am expecting 1 more, which for me feels very hivemindy! Given up hope on the Chants album placing, though ;_;

well I mean I didn't vote for it but L'Rain is one of mine in spirit maybe
― imago, Friday, 11 February 2022 10:29 (two years ago) link
L’Rain will probably be the only one of my votes to turn up in this last stretch
I’ll echo a few other posters - this has been a year when a surprisingly high number of my votes surfaced in the rollout (and a lot of things surfaced that I’d heard but didn’t vote for)

Haha I saw CFCF roll by and initially thought "right so that Something Something Coastal Fever band has shortened its name, maybe a good move, I can never remember it correctly".

Lol christ, wonder if we've dodged Parquet Courts as well. ILM at least avoiding much of the worst of the new post-punk. Dry Cleaning, whom I'm listening to right now, are pretty good I think

ALC is even serving some primo skronk in the absence of TFS (or Springtime)
― imago, Friday, 11 February 2022 11:16 (two years ago) link
lol i don't think there's any chance at all parquet courts show up at this point

tbc I didn't vote for TFS and don't think they deserve it this time

My first skip was Can, towards the end of the opening 20 minute jam. Not horrible by any means, but just not something I need.
I made it all the way through GY!BE, which must be a lifetime first, but my constant thought was "basically this = the Swans it's still OK to like". It didn't give me anything that Swans used to give me more of.

I'll add that if 0PN truly has ushered in the era of bright uncanny-valley harpsichord production, I want zero to do with it (see also Koreless)

Not even heard of this one - thread title makes it sound promising so will put it on my 'to check out' list.
― emil.y, Friday, 11 February 2022 15:16 (two years ago) link
didn't realize it had its own thread (rather than just part of the Promises thread discussion). Not even sure where I heard of it now. A gorgeous little trip

when moctar built his own guitar when he was a child, he should've made it an electric one. what was he thinking?

The Nala Sinephro mixing is particularly astounding. One of the best sounding records on the countdown imo.

Tala Tannam is a very beautiful acoustic track; I retract the 'Judas' which was a joke anyway :p

This is the first of the several albums that had 3 songs place on the track list to show up

a fine debut but kind of obviously a padded out EP, it’s too high here but it was too high on every year-end list
