Graham Lambkin & Jason Lescalleet - Photographs - Mentioned this on campaigning. So sad I'm the only one who voted for this.
this is like J0n Abb3y stuff that I tend to find overly precious and restrained. I've sat through a lot of music that has this aesthetic, or is along the lines of what these dudes do. I don't doubt it does what it does better than most music that is attempting the same thing(s). ... Hell, maybe I will give this a try after my Kanye listening marathon.

i would recommend my top two to anyone, tbh
nils frahm - spaces
wondrous live (or "live"?) album, a pretty mesmerizing combo of electronic and modern classical.
almunia - pulsar
remarkable blissed-out balearic summer driving mellow jams, soundtracked a lot of my pacific coast highway drives. also highly recommended is their 'new moon' LP.

I wouldnt put the King Krule album there anymore. I mean theres some good songs on it but I only really put it in there to make it an even 20. id replace it with the Young Galaxy or Melt Yourself Down album.

I liked their weird tropicalia phase a little better than this one, but I think this one has more crossover appeal. I also feel like Drag City albums don't have a chance when spotify is the way most people listen to new/unfamiliar stuff. I voted for three albums on DC and none of them made a peep on the poll.

Sarahell, re photographs, i'm obviously not as acquainted with music like this but for me it was a joy and a pleasure.
― doglato dozzy (dog latin), Saturday, 1 February 2014 00:57 (ten years ago) link
I really have to ~get involved~ next year, going through now I'm seeing lots of albums I really liked and feel could have had a respectable top 150 showing not even nominated - Sachiko, Morphosis, Jenny Hval, The Pastels, would Peter Gordon & Factory Floor have been eligible? - and many others I could have pushed up a bit languishing in the deep 100s. I guess I assumed I was one enough with the ILM hivemind that my own take didn't make much difference.

Time travel is kind of rolling weirdo avantgarde stuff that kinda falls thru the cracks. Mostly presided over by imago, sarahell, Edward III, and Hellhouse

I need to give that Troller album a listen here soon
I've yet to hear the first Alla album but from what I've gathered the references are Tropicalia, Krautrock, and even stuff like Tuxedomoon, and when I listen to FTD that's what I hear: a band from a spacey esoteric background immersing themselves in the surfaces and textures of modern R&B. It's almost like an Amon Duul II album but drawing on stuff like Katy B, Dawn Richard, and Sade instead of like, Jefferson Airplane and the Velvets and the Incredible String Band. And for a hopeless if not shameless rockist who was starting to hear the possibilities of modern pop and techno production, it came at exactly the right time. I think most of the R&B fans round here tend to be songwriting absolutists so in many ways like the Clipping album this kind of fit uncomfortably between two camps. But there was not another album this year I've listened to as much...
