if Robyn really had 30+ voters she'd be like top 3 but i don't think she'll get that many

Cheers for that nick!

lol I meant 30+ in age
it's not quite as good but "where we come from" which is ALSO from 2018 is definitely worth listening to as well.
Listening now. The looping and editing seems more foregrounded on this one, not quite as seamless.

I think Janelle Monae will win actually . Just a hunch.

she won't

they should call it the 1976 when you're there

I tell you one thing, I've got no idea what will win metal poll.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:36 (five years ago) link
I think we only have 9 ballots but I haven't seen them
1975 = 5 x 5 x 79, therefore numerologically they have either placed 5th or 79th

every vote for Autechre should be assigned 4x the points, if this poll was truly fair

Daphne and Celeste
Cameron Cook: " By working with Daphne & Celeste’s notoriety and, it turns out, actual charm, Max Tundra is able to project his idea of what pop should sound like in 2018 onto an essentially blank slate. Instead of a tired pastiche, the three musicians have created one of the most weirdly compelling pop collaborations in recent memory."
Tim Sendra: "Hooking up with D&C proved a genius move by Jacobs, and the same is true for D&C. It's a surprising and decidedly odd combination that works amazingly well, like olive oil and ice cream. Daphne & Celeste may not save the world, but a listen to this album is sure to make the world a better place for about 45 minutes or so, and sometimes that's enough."

ILM pulls through :)
My number 3. Max Tundra, Daphne & Celeste forever
― imago, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:47 (five years ago) link
a pleasing listen but i didnt go back to too often
― nxd, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:48 (five years ago) link
I'll add that few people get how to make the sort of melodic, breakneck pop I love better than Tundra, he's sort of a genius and this is sort of his masterpiece
― imago, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:49 (five years ago) link
I knew it! Good album.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:50 (five years ago) link
ok fine i'll listen to this album, jeez

i wanted to love the idea of 'max tundra makes a Pop album' but i only liked it and didn't feel the need to revisit it much. cool enough to see it place though
― ufo, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:52 (five years ago) link
if I'd ranked this would've been #1
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:53 (five years ago) link
Is this how you apologize to LJ after putting Baby Shark in the tracks poll, no way did 13 people vote for this
― frogbs, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:54 (five years ago) link
― breastcrawl, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:54 (five years ago) link
13 people voted for it because it's good and they liked it

lol i think i voted for this yw lj
― Mordy, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:56 (five years ago) link
I totally called this as placing 20th! It is about as infectious and kitsch as it could be and there are a thousand wonderful synth hooks. A.L.T.O, Taking Notes and Somg to a Succulent are highlights.
― tangenttangent, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:56 (five years ago) link
I realised this would place when I looked at the track ballots. A euphoric feeling

Tracey Thorn
Dave Simpson: "The lyrical mix of emotion and wisdom is matched by the elegant dignity of the soundtrack, and producer Ewan Pearson places Thorn in the lineage of classy electronic torch singers from Alison Moyet to Marc Almond."
Rob Sheffield: "In her excellent new solo album, with the droll title Record, the Everything But the Girl chanteuse tells tales of mid-life angst with the same wry wit she's had in her voice since she was a sullen Brit-punk kid."

a delightful, proper album that gathers detail and momentum as it goes. also one of the ilmiest albums i've ever heard
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Thursday, 7 February 2019 17:11 (five years ago) link
i have been putting off listening to the daphne and celeste all year and i'm sorry!!!
Totally deserved placement for Tracey Thorn. Record is one the best albums of her career for me. Up there with Walking Wounded, A Distant Shore and Out Of The Woods.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 7 February 2019 17:13 (five years ago) link
I never got round to the D&C album. I liked the first Max Tundra single but wasn't blown away, is there a notable step up? (I also liked their early bratty stuff if that has any bearing on matters.)

https://i.imgur.com/15EtQFH.jpg#18: Yves Tumor - Safe In The Hands Of Love - 483 points – 13 votes - 3 first place votes
Yves Tumor
Jayson Greene: "Yves Tumor’s latest album is a benchmark in experimental music. It is searing and borderless, music that is aware of oppressive confinement, and music with an intoxicating urge to be free."
Spyros Stasis: "What pushes Safe in the Hands of Love beyond the producer's previous works is the emotion that the record transmits. No matter if the synths are harsh, or the rhythm section arrives with the perfect groove, this is a work filled with an emotive purpose, and it is that core that makes it such a wonderful listen."
