thanks pollrunners
would have voted eversines 'achterna' & death's dynamic shroud 'neon memories' top 2 but neither were nominated

through the below tracks some unweighted points
chat pile - why?
death’s dynamic shroud - Messe de E-102
DJ Python - Angel
Eversines - Uitzicht
Jim Legxacy - dj
KFC Murder Chicks - Half Life
NewJeans - Ditto
The Center for Understanding New Trigonometries - Common Shapes and Uncommon Shapes
Two Shell - Home
Yeule - Bites on My Neck

I was the only other voter for that Eversines track, so gorgeous

The older - and busier - I get, this place is increasingly the only place I really get recommendations. Hence the most hivemind-y I've ever been, by some distance (not that that's a bad thing, but my cred is important to me). Jim Legxacy wuz robbed and still can't believe I didn't nominate Looking For Somebody (To Love).
