lol looking at my ballot I def could have made room for it, chalk it up to deciding to spend as little time as poss on my ballot. fwiw the amapiano tracks on Motion made me re-appreciate Rumble a lot

That Can live album was my #1 go-to background album for working last year. Didn't vote for it though.

Well, our next album is not Coltrane but it is Jazz.

I haven't listened to a full Altın Gün album but I do like a bunch of their stuff so I may well check that out.
― emil.y, Monday, 7 February 2022 18:55 (two years ago) link
what genre is Altın Gün?
― rob, Monday, 7 February 2022 18:56 (two years ago) link
Oooh, the Altin Gün record is cool. Don't think I voted for it, but generally their output has had some lovely moments. Hey Nari was my fave from this one.
Didn't spot the new Vanishing Twin this year!

My favorite part of the "Ice Cream Whine" Tik-Tok is the third character that's just some dude walking by and getting caught up by the beat

re Altin Gun: “Ordunun Dereleri” was my #1 track so check it out. It's a bit more chill/normy than e.g. Paavoharju but not way off, very satisfying.
― Vangelis fleadh (seandalai), Monday, 7 February 2022 19:10 (two years ago) link
ok yes good
this was my #5 it is sick. prog doesn't just live, it thrives, and the kids love it

Still refusing to listen to Black Midi because they're not actual black midi.
― emil.y, Monday, 7 February 2022 19:11 (two years ago) link
After finding the first Black Midi album a bit half-baked and not really committing enough to any of its many ideas, this one was a pleasant surprise. More measured, but just as ambitious. Didn't vote for it, but I could have.
― tangenttangent, Monday, 7 February 2022 19:12 (two years ago) link
really love the Altin Gun artwork and Yuce Dag Basinda is so infectious

xpppp to e.mily
I'm curious about this, since the tracks I've heard through the poll are much more synth pop/Italo sounding?
― change display name (Jordan), Monday, 7 February 2022 19:14 (two years ago) link
Their previous albums were a bit folkier, but this one blends in plenty of synthpop too, you're right.
― tangenttangent, Monday, 7 February 2022 19:15 (two years ago) link
altin gun is a band that i listen to occasionally but would prob be blown away by in a live setting

Haha, my initial idea for the design was to make a series of shapes - like the stars and circles I ended up adding in there - and use them as containers for the images. Use some 8/10 different ones either random or by genre… it would’ve looked “tarot-esque” but ditched the idea because I would’ve needed more time.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 7 February 2022 19:18 (two years ago) link
black midi amuses me because they have this one singer whose style can't help but remind me of larry blackmon from cameo
― roflrofl fight (voodoo chili), Monday, 7 February 2022 19:18 (two years ago) link
fwiw Slow is both my track and video pick from Cavalcade
― imago, Monday, 7 February 2022 19:19 (two years ago) link
Jordan, 'Yüce Dağ Başında' (which for some reason I thought placed last year, but youtube is telling me it came out this year?) is pretty synthpop yeah, but it still has that folky element to it. They're definitely a modern take on it (and not actually based in Turkey iirc) but a large amount of their output I've heard is that psychy folky thing.
― emil.y, Monday, 7 February 2022 19:19 (two years ago) link
I'm probably not the best person to judge this I guess, as I've only sampled the singles/tracks with vids.
― emil.y, Monday, 7 February 2022 19:21 (two years ago) link
I'll have to check out some of their other stuff!
I think I've listened to each Black Midi record exactly once, but I loved seeing them live.

I might have to run, sorry for rushing this last part. Posting two more albums and I’ll continue tomorrow.

That sounds rad, but they look great in any case. Kind of reminds me of that Magik Cyrkles comp from a few years back too.

This Sarah Davachi album is great! One of my favorite discoveries from this run.
I’d say this and the left field pop compilation are my two picks of albums I would have voted for if I had listened to them before the poll.

― brimstead, Monday, 7 February 2022 19:29 (two years ago) link
I missed that Howie Lee thread but "Chinese folk/prog/jazz/Balearic/grime" is definitely something that would have swayed me to listen. Giving it a try now and the sample track sounds great. Fuck yeah. Wish I'd heard it earlier.
― emil.y, Monday, 7 February 2022 19:30 (two years ago) link
the first minute of the Davachi actually sounds more like the old Turkish psych-folk I know more than Altin did!

That Howie Lee is an actual album from 2021 that I listened to a bit and it's lush

I should give the Lee another listen. iirc dog latin's enthusiasm for it really made me want to like it
