Bit gutted about Louise Burns being at 78.

kitchen person, Friday, 7 February 2020 02:33 (four years ago) link

I didn't like this Louise Burns album very much, or else I'd have ensured it got in. I've voted for her previous two.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 7 February 2020 02:35 (four years ago) link

Burial is also at 78 (a tie I guess), it is fitting that it didn't place since it is mostly a compilation of past work, but the tracks it documents are equal to anything in this poll imo

I have no idea how I've gotten so in sync with ILM hivemind this year, it's kind of weird. Might just be that I'm listening to the same records that are popular everywhere.

What's funny is that my top four albums are all ones I only heard about because of ILM.

Santilli - Surface

That was my number one - far from the most conspicuosly amazing thing that came out last year but something I kept coming back to for its understated gentleness. Sounds pretty much like if Gaussian Curve had been on ECM records. Also somewhat drawn to it by the fact it's just one guy playing all the instruments on it.

Too late to nominate, would've voted for them otherwise:

Stefan Fraunberger – Quellgeister#3 – Bussd
Þóranna Björnsdóttir & Federico Placidi – Lucid

I oddly forgot to mention the Fraunberger when we talked about organ drones during the rollout. It's a magnificent record that Kali Malone fans would very likely enjoy.

My pleasure! I was so bulimic last year, listening-wise, that a ballot with 100 records on it would've been useful for once.

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Friday, 7 February 2020 12:33 (four years ago) link

I didn't keep my ballot but it was very close to my real Top 25 of the year, so almost certainly was as below. LDR was my real #13 of 2019 but I assumed it would do fine w/o me so left it off my ballot. Never guessed Weyes Blood would outstrip it by as much as it did or I'd have omitted that as well.

It's my fault that Vanishing Twin didn't make the 77...

Interesting that a full 10 people *did* vote for it, but frequently at relatively low rankings, it seems. The unranked-ness of my own ballot conceals the fact that I wanted to like a little more than I actually did!

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Friday, 7 February 2020 12:45 (four years ago) link

Yes, the Vanishing Twin record was a bit weaker than their previous ones. However, they played one of the gigs of the year in 2019 and are a GOOD THING in general so I put them at the bottom of my ballot.
