that Maja Ratkje thing sounds great

The Omar-S track at #7 in the Mixmag list is pretty much perfect.
― Matt DC, Monday, 12 December 2016 15:50 (seven years ago) link
The Four Tet remixed Shura track is 'Touch' btw. Prefer the Tourist remix of her 'What's It Gonna Be?' to that though.
― nashwan, Monday, 12 December 2016 15:54 (seven years ago) link
The Mixmag list is the best list out of any of these.

feel like the four tet shura remix is two years old but apparently it's not?

I aim to please, Simon. You might also find it hilarious that there are "token" representatives of singer/songwriters (Ed Harcourt), Afrobeat Dub (Dele Sosimi Meets Prince Fatty & Nostalgia 77), kosmische (Josefin Öhrn + The Liberation, Camera), jazz (Greg Ward & 10 Tongues) and Toureg (Noura Mint Seymali) among others. Or you can click on the f**king genre lists link if it's too jarring for your brain to process multiple genres at once.

Np. But I do want to point out that I do have a complete Hip Hop & Rap list after the jump. Also, my top album in that category is actually Steve Lehman – Sélébéyone. Every year I get at least one sneering comment about my choices in that particular group, as if I'm not allowed to list my favorites because I listen to other genres.
― Fastnbulbous, Monday, 12 December 2016 17:06 (seven years ago) link
The other thing was I just saw the list and not that it was yours/an individual's - most of the ones here have been from mags or groups, so I instantly (wrongly) assumed it was a quirk of consensus.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 12 December 2016 17:08 (seven years ago) link
I take it this isn't a reissue of the Norwegian 80s girl group?

or the demo tape by the '80s zeuhl group

c'mon it samples spinetta, it's not _that_ much of a stretch!
― increasingly bonkers (rushomancy), Monday, 12 December 2016 17:13 (seven years ago) link
That is a common assumption, but there are more lists driven by a single person than you'd think. I've been doing this over a couple decades, and posting in these annual threads for many years, hopefully most don't mind. xp I bet a playlist of all the dozens of bands named Troll over the years would be pretty fun!

i forgot that that kyle hall album came out this year, thought it came late last year. i loved it.

it in fact did come out last year

yeah the vinyl came out in December 2015. Might have got a digital release later though

ah ok!
― I've read Ta-nehisi Coates. (marcos), Monday, 12 December 2016 20:06 (seven years ago) link
no harm in highlighting a December release though. Considering they're usually consigned to oblivion
yeah i was gonna make that point too. publications pretty much don't exist for half of december anyway
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Monday, 12 December 2016 20:07 (seven years ago) link
Pusha T's album, which has been mostly forgotten, came out very mid December last year and it made my 2016 list.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 12 December 2016 20:08 (seven years ago) link
That RA list is weird this year. I expect a list more centered on techno/house and having artists like Radiohead and Jessy Lanza in there sort of breaks the 'specialized" feeling their year long reviews have.
― Moka, Monday, 12 December 2016 20:09 (seven years ago) link
can i put kyle hall on my 2016 ilx ballot then y/n

The aquariumdrunkard list is massive and has some amazing records in there which I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere.

it doesn't seem to differentiate new releases and archival releases? okay yeah yoko's _plastic ono band_ is a great record, but filing it next to frank ocean seems a bit strange.
