Best album from the 2018 ILM EOY album poll that received only ONE top 3 weighted vote

Goat Girl live: one of those bands where the drummer puts it over the top.

I <3 A Forest of Stars

Senyawa just placed too in the top 20

and Yamantaka//Sonic Titan

firstly, this sunwatchers is killer !! just wow.

also was happy to discover dream wife and carla dal forno. thanks to whoever voted for those.

i had written up a list of 2-3 sentence responses to everything here (except the compilations) but lost it somehow. oh well.

the corsano et al. was my vote -- just an amazing free record. you can buy the digital album for £6 at café oto:

thee open sex record also mine. very impressive krautrock workout, very focused, very groovy in spite of being almost puritanical in its devotion to repetition.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Kaku P-Model - Times = Times (Kai=Kai) - by Susumu Hirasawa - Individual tracks are online

Heard a few more today - I can only add to the praise for the Roy Kinsey album. Tenderlonious/22archestra and the chill beats on Junes' A View sounded good too.

Hard to choose between the Job Sifre and Meg Bowles. The brief mention of Lando Chill upthread got me listening to it and I love it. Probably would have made my albums ballot.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Why'd you vote for them? They can't even play in tune.. nah, just kidding

I still need to listen to all the 3rd-placers. Mystic Beings sounded astonishing from the previews.

man, i missed this thread, the niche records are very much my thing, looking forward to exploring!
