Hold on, sorry, I accidentally bolded Ventriloquism, but obviously that one made it.
― Tuomas, Friday, 8 February 2019 06:41 (five years ago) link
I'm not surprised I was the only voter for Meg Bowles, but I do find it odd only 3 people beside me vote for Jlin... Didn't her previous albums do really well in these polls? I thought Autobiography was quite good too, but maybe the fact that it's a largely beatless soundtrack/mood piece made it less popular?
― Tuomas, Friday, 8 February 2019 06:47 (five years ago) link
Oi Moodles, roping your nearest and dearest in to boost your favourite albums is totally against the spirit of this ;)
I was lucky enough to place 4 of my top 5! Which makes this a good year! The one that missed out, Bringing The Backline, got 98 points from 2 votes, which means that the odds of it being seen as p much the best indiepop album ever depended on whether it was being listened to inside our house or not

"Looks like me and Tuomas are the only Nao fans on the board."
I was super into her first lp, but despised the second one.
Really, why? It doesn't sound that different from the previous one, and the songwriting is even stronger. It was certainly the best R&B record I heard last year.

Albums that would have made my list with what I know now: Idris Ackamoor & the Pyramids, Die Wilde Jagd (possibly), Mariah Carey. Dark horse: Sons of Kemet.Not exactly successful with my nominations, I was the single voter for each, the Heavy K excepted. But do check out the Akan album (fantastic Ghanian rap)!Closest neighbour: longneck (hi again!). longneck, rob and me are the Complex posse, apparently? I’m sure I’ve read some articles of theirs through links, but I just checked and that is one ugly website. Was The Fader not available?Final word: simmy simmy ya, simmy yam simmy yay!

I know Metal is niche around here but we do take a loose definition of the word and its really a noisy/heavy rock/metal and subgenres poll which means we have nominations . It's also not US-centric at all and many non-English singing bands get in.

Yeah, despite being a huge Jlin fan I never really spent any time with this one. I think I said on her dedicated thread that it wasn't really marketed as a "Jlin album" but more a soundtrack to someone else's thing, so that made it have less urgency for me.

Arve Henriksen, Eivind Aarset, Jan Bang & Jez riley French - The Height of the Reeds
This was the piece done for Hull being CC right? Is it a studio recording of the piece or a recording of the performance on Humber Bridge?
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 11 February 2019 08:13 (five years ago) link
It's a slight edit of the performance on Humber Bridge ('only minor adjustments have been done to justify the transition from sound walk to album', says Rune Grammofon).

Thanks, will check it out. Henriksen rarely disappoints.
