Hi everybody! The line-up is complete and you can start voting now. Try to vote by week's end since the next poll is round the corner. Note: - There are two short songs by the Swedish folk group, Skäggmans-l-a-g-e-t. They count as one entry. - The video for the Penguin Cafe Orchestra is a live performance. I added a studio version of their piece with better sound quality. Both videos are at the end of the playlist. - I posted the link also in the introductory article, on the first page of the thread. Enjoy & have fun!  p.s. timothy leary is not participating. While waiting for his reply I started rumming through my music collection and came across another song. I'm sorry about that but I'm simply a music addict! lol Edited by Mila-13 - February 07 2022 at 11:15 |

I wish i had been able to participate in this poll and apologize for being away a lot recently with a new work shift and new commitments. I am pretty much out of the loop free-time-wise but do check in and enjoy listening to these polls.

I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you. Robin Williams.

Thank you, Cristi! I sent a PM to both of them. Timothy lives on the U.S. West Coast, though. We will have to wait till this evening, I guess. Edited by Mila-13 - February 07 2022 at 01:25 |

Thank you to Kees for the nice words, both for Skäggmansl*g.t and my own stuff :) My nomination remains the two short polskas.

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

thanks for commenting, I bet I posted songs of him before. He is on PA under prog-folk, which is not wrong IMO, his debut album is a must listen especially.

Lovely of you to take the time for the commentary. I did have a hard time choosing between the two that were "in competition." That entire Van Morrison album is a gem, that feeling of magic in the ordinary, persists throughout. Highly recommended.

For my nomination I go with Die anarchistische Abendunterhaltung. And as an echo to JD's percussion pieces, here - purely for your enjoyment - a little film by The Sound of Noise: Music for One Appartment and Six Drummers (some electric utensils are used though): |

This is a great IA-poll edition, again. I had just one listen to all of the suggestion and doing so I had a wonderful time. A quick take... @Cristi: I like all three of your suggestions, but - indeed, since you nominated him - my preference goes to Nicu Alifantis. I remember you have presented him before with some wonderful music and I listened to more of him back then... @George: I very much like 16 Horsepower (I heard of them before, but don't know this particular track), the Koreans are interesting and worth to listen to again, but from the three I prefer Jonas Hellborg - very rich and musical. @timothy leary: Three guitar based suggestions, and I like them all three, but I would go with the more classical Blue Effect, I think. @Nickie: Three very different propositions and all three are wonderful. The beautiful atmospheric folk of Myrkur, the deep melancholy of harp and violin in Luna de Amor or Van Morissons song writing skills... Good luck in choosing your nomination; I like them all three! @Christian: Nice to discover this William D. Drake piece, which becomes especially in the second part very intriguing and captivating. But - indeed - it doesn't have the magic of Trilok Gurtu's Vignola: very modern, international and enchanting! My choice, also because I'm already familiar with the Urban Sax piece (great piece too!). @Mila: Again three great suggestions. I may prefer the jazz by Tumi Mogorosi and the more classical piece by Alexej Gerassimez. If I had to choose, maybe the latter... And then you add Naïssam Jalal... So different and so beautiful too! @Greg: Somehow, with Rodrigo & Gabriela, although I like what I hear and am impressed by their skills, I have the impression that they put their technicality over their musicality. I prefer Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges who put their skills at the service of the music (to my ears). I'd go with Kottke. @Anders: Two great pieces by Skäggmansl*g.t (with stars and dots), difficult to choose a favourite. (Also listened to your music. Wonderful! Great melodies, great singing and the programming adds that special touch - I love the two longer pieces, especially 5:18!) @JD: A wonderful selection of percussion pieces. Of The Percussion Show it is more the performance than the music itself that convinces. Lazuli is great (one of my favourite bands!) but here I prefer the modernity of Emmanuel Séjourné's piece wonderfully performed by Christoph Sietzen. @Ronstein: I love the Penguin Café Orchestra. Of the chamber music groups they are very high on my lists, so I was familiar with this piece - great choice! I also like Mike Dawes guitar piece and am somehow underwhelmed by Gentle Giant, here. @Lorenzo: You have convinced me: I really should add some Francesco Guccini albums to my collection. I like all the qualities you brought forward here. Of course, his musicality, his singing, but also his social-political commitment. Here I'd go with your choice too: the musically very rich Primavera '59, but the other two are also great! |

Anders has suggested two very short pieces by the same band from the same album. In fact all pieces on that album are very short (+/- 2 min). I would therefore like to include both songs in the poll - they complete each other very nicely - if Anders agrees to this. I hope that's ok with you guys?

@ Cristi I have thought about your piece by the Marius Preda Jazz Quartett. Given that this is a live performance I think that an exception regarding the length of the piece would be appropriate. But this piece was written by Django Reinhardt, if I am not mistaken which makes things a bit complicated. Isn't there an original song by Marius Preda that you could submit instead? In terms of musial diversitiy this music style would be a gain for the poll. Edited by Mila-13 - February 05 2022 at 16:41 |
