CAMPAIGNING THREAD FOR: 2012 ILM SUPER-MEGA YEAR-END ALBUMS 'N' TRACKS POLL

liking the Starring album a lot, I can see the GGD comparisons, one that sprang to mind (esp on the second track) is a cross between Oneida and La Big Vic

Couple of things I'm going to rep for:

I would like due consideration to be given to the album WANK by the duo SLEAFORD MODS. Here is what it sounds like: http://sleafordmods.bandcamp.com/

i nominated this album. it's not really ilx' thing but it's the best thing i heard last year

I really love this track. A brilliant French producer called Julien Chastagnol who has made an excellent album. Some of it reminds me of the best, most chaotic Amon Tobin stuff from the 90's.

3 of my top 5 tracks

Rich Kidz
Block-B
Darq E Freaker feat. Danny Brown

I think I've been getting Sleaford Mods and Deptford Goth confused for a while now.

everyone please vote for this amazing achievement in music:

This was one of my favorites from 2012, and I only just now found out it's a side project from a couple When Saints Go Machine guys.

Kenton Slash Demon - Ore

Worth noting: Kenton Slash Demon's Ore is a free download on Soundcloud. Good pick.

I think I'm still the only person who's ever mentioned Gemma Ray on ILM. Everything she's done is on Spotify and it's all worthy of your attention. In 2012 she released a two-song EP of Sparks covers, produced by the Mael brothers, and I've nominated for the poll her LP, Island Fire. This track, which someone has helpfully uploaded to youtube is representative:

thanks. great, intense voice and the rich & melodic music has got something naive and natural about it. nice.

Jeff W: I think you've heard of her already but if you like Gemma Ray, I'd recommend listening to Mirah as well, particularly her album: 'You Think It's Like This but Really It's Like This'.

kool a.d. is whatever but i'm voting for it almost entirely for the beat (by trackademics)

Moka: I will check her out. Thanks.

I want you all to consider the Eyvind Kang "Narrow Garden" album.

And DJP OTM upthread about Blawan. I can't decide between that and Inspector Norse as best dance track of the year.

oh and yeah, the Holly Herndon album is what the Laurel Halo album wanted to do but didn't really achieve. I dunno, I tried to get into the LH album, but those vocals are a real problem.

Demdike Stare's Elemental is an incredible bit of scary ambient techno. I didn't expect to love this as much as I did. I think it far improves on Triptych, which I also really enjoyed.

Also, the self-titled album by Swearin' is pretty fantastic. Straight up Superchunk-ish pop-punk that seems to be lifted directly out of the mid-90's. So good and it goes by in a blur. I can't seem to find any YouTubes of the tracks I'd like to highlight but just go to Spotify...it's all there.

Have you voted yet? If not, add this one to your tracks list if you dig it:

actually make it this one:

I'm not saying whether it's in or out of the top 77 albums at present, but give that Niki & The Dove album so love y'all.

And this amazing remix:

I'm not saying whether it's in or out of the top 77 albums at present, but give that Niki & The Dove album so love y'all.

Can people also please remember the iamamiwhoami album too. Kin and Instinct are the two most underrated albums of the year.
