Another 3's: 2003, 2013 and 2023 releases

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Again, this is just meant a s complementary poll to John's poll for his series.  He covered 2003, 2013, 2023 and I'm doing a different, and I expect much less popular generally, list of choices.  This list is very me, it's based on what I have in my Awesome Prog lists, but not a lot of thought went into these choices now.

Here is Mellotron Storm's (John's) Three II poll for which this is merely intended as an accessory (or in gaming terms, an expansion pack, and I like to see lots of expansion packs coming out).

While I expect that few would vote for five, this is a multiple votes enabled poll. Vote for up to five (or more) albums in the poll and please mention what you voted for in a post. Thanks.

2003:
Sufjan Stevens - Michigan (not in PA)
The Necks - Drive By (not in PA)
Broadcast - Haha Sound (not in PA)

	Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

	Let's see... Michigan - Happy Songs for Happy People - Tomorrow's Harvest - The Beggar - Poil Ueda - O Monolith - The Lamb as Effigy. What number are we at? 7. OK, I skip Swans (Swans appear enough in all kinds of polls) and Poil Ueda (maybe a bit behind the others) and vote for the remaining 5. More good ones are there but I'm not going to make the task even more difficult. Edited by Lewian - 14 hours 55 minutes ago at 18:27

	Thanks Christian and Ian. I quite often have said that I normally do not vote in my own polls (the ones particularly which are personal favourites) because just by choosing them I already have voted for and acknowledged them, and being all faves, it's super tough and can feel kind of disloyal and wrong, but this time I want to... First off, I want to mention Woven Hand's Blush Music. It's a sort of gothic country, avant folk music with post-rock qualities, and to me it is just wow. I am listening to it again now. Second, I adore Sufjan Stevens and his Michigan is one of my very favourite albums by him. I listened to it earlier and I love the album so much. Third, I love Swans, so Swans is going to get a lot of attention from me and The Beggar is I think a great album. It was my clear favourite of 2023 with Sufjan Stevens' Javelin in second place -- mind you, I'm bigger on Sufjan Stevens now than I was in 2023. For a fourth mention I will go with the Necks' Drive By. This I have not heard it as much as various others The Necks albums, especially Hanging Gardens which is what made me fall hard for The Necks (stunning album from my beloved 90s), but I have been getting more and more into The Necks of late. For fifth I first thought to go with Boards of Canada's Tomorrow's Harvest. I have not listened to that album as much as Music Has the Right to Children (an album i adore), Geogaddi or The Campfire Headphase, but BoC (not to be confused with Blue Oyster Cult or Bowl of Cereal) is so special to me now. Broadcast, Pram and Rachel's are all vying for my vote (course I dig everything in the poll very much), that is fave Kayo Dot album of mine, and it is my favourite Chelsea Wolfe album (wrote a five star review for that). However... I adore Kosmischer Läufer, and think it does the eras it is inspired by so very well. I love volumes one and five but I have been turning much more to 5 in recent times (partially as it's the more recent release). To me Volume 5 is great. So I will go KL's (not to be confused with Kitty Litter's) Fifth. I would have voted for that live Boris release sometime back, but I am more into the studio album flood.

	There's three here I voted for and two are post rock classics from Mogwai and Explosions In The Sky, plus Poil Ueda. That Explosions In The Sky record was one my daughter played a lot while studying in University.
