This poll is meant as an accessory to John's (Mellotron Storm) topic https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=135029" rel="nofollow - One II by covering different releases than was covered in his poll. The one of his that surely would have made my list is Radiohead's Amnesiac. This list is largely based on what I am most interested in these days, but I did leave off many favourites due to space and sometimes because I felt they might be too obscure. I would have rather listed 50 releases. Please excuse what to you might seem obvious omissions from my list that are not in John's recent 1's poll. My Awesome Prog lists are much longer and those are very incomplete based on what I know and like. 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. 2001: Sufjan Stevens - Enjoy Your Rabbit (not in PA) Air - 10 000 Hz Legend (not in PA) Stereolab -Sound-Dust Aphex Twin - Drukqs (not in PA) Secret Chiefs 3 - Book M Magma - Theusz Hamtaahk Trilogie (live) Angels of Light - How I Loved You Motorpsycho - Phanerothyme Björk - Vespertine KoenjiHyakkei - Nivraym 2011: North Sea Radio Orchestra - I A Moon A Winged Victory for the Sullen - A Winged Victory for the Sullen (not in PA) William D. Drake - The Rising of the Lights PJ Harvey - Let England Shake (not in PA) Chelsea Wolfe - Apokalypsis Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow Julia Holter - Tragedy (not in PA) Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica 2021: Lingua Ignota - Sinner Get Ready (not in PA) Black Midi - Cavalcade Godspeed You! Black Emperor - G_d's Pee AT STATE'S END! Squid - Bright Green Field Black Country, New Road - For The First Time BRUIT ≤ - The Machine Is Burning and Now Everyone Knows It Could Happen Again Dear Laika [Isabelle Thorn] - Pluperfect Mind (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. |

This is a tough one for me. I have heard five of these but only one is getting my vote. That triple live Magma album is the one here that really hits the spot. The one I didn't include on my '01 list that is better than some I did was Picchio Dal Pozzo's Camere Zimmer Rooms. Is that archival? For '11 I really like Terminal twilight by White Willow, My Brother The Wind's I Wash My Soul In A Stream Of Infinity and Brian Ellis' Quipu. For '21 Needlepoint's Walking Up That Valley is incredible. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I do love Piccho dal Pozzo and Camere Zimmer Rooms is archival (I do much prefer the first two releases). That Needlepoint album is great, and is quite high on my list, and I probably should have included it. The ranking often is fairly meaningless -- the top ones of course tend to be really special to me -- and just reflects my whims of the time. There's quite a lot I love from 2021.

^ It just blows me away how different the tastes are of all of us who like adventerous music, and the quantity of such music. I would have to win the lottery to keep up properly with physical releases every year. I'm okay that I'm missing out, not being into downloads. I mean, I always say, I have enough tunes for the rest of my life without spending more money.  I'm just picky these days at what I pick up.Nice to see Delving on there, I just picked up one of theirs recently. I keep thinking I have that King Gizzard release as I have thought about picking that up many times in the past. If I was into vinyl I'm pretty sure I would own most if not all of their albums. Cashed out after KG from 2020. Cds are much harder to get for me after that one. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

^That’s my biggest gripe with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard; my inability to get anything of theirs after those two Microtonal albums. Sure I can buy them if I pay through the teeth for a vinyl release or maybe get a cassette instead…but I’d rather just get a simple cd  I voted for Air, Aphex Twin, OPN, Squid and Black Country, New Road. Funny how most folks tend to prefer tte latter day releases of both Black Midi and BC, NR yet personally I feel none of these bands succeeded in bettering their respective debuts. Fave album in this poll is Air’s 10000 Hz masterpiece. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

This time, for me, Lingua Ignota - Sinner Get Ready towers over the rest. But I also voted for: Book M, Let England Shake, G_d's Pee AT STATE'S END! & Cavalcade |

It's cool to have as diverse a forum of music lovers as we do, and I am interested in the differences and confluences of tastes. We "mostly" all here share some interests in common (a few have had narrow very interests). You got me back into listening to physical releases on my neglected stereo system. Thank you for that. That said, my "man cave" isn't what it was since my eldest moved back in with partner and lots of friends of theirs staying over frequently. I could scare them away with my music, but being my child plus, it seems kind of wrong.  I do value privacy and space alone but, like my brothers, my kids are highly extroverted. Anyway, still most of my listening is streaming. It;s the most convenient way to hear new-to-me things and I do like to be exposed to quite a bit of new-to-me music. But I don't "consume" nearly as much new-to-me music as, say, 20 years ago, and I can listen to the same album 20 times in a week happily if I'm really into it.
I adore that Air album, played it so much. It's been quite an underrated album too, I think (by me at tone time too before "properly" listening to it but after reading some negative reviews). It has a 3.31 at rateyourmusic and used to be lower. It's my most played Air album, although i was into Moon Safari and Talkie Walkie years before getting into it. My favourite BC,NR is For the First Time, and think Schlagenheim excellent.
I really like both of those albums.
I knew this list would be very limited in knowness commonly at the forum. I don't play that Kate Bush album in full often, but I adore "Lake Tahoe" off 50 Words for Snow. Obviously I'm someone who loves kinds of atmospheric music and that piece is oone of my very favourites by her (I loved the shorter version too when used as a promo). For any who may not know it:
I'm very happy when people take me up on the "or more". It's so much more satisfying than when I get comments like "None of them, here's [insert melodic rock or melodic metal work here]" which has happened to me on numerous occasions throughout the years. :) ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

I love far too many of these. Must vote for North Sea Radio Orchestra and William D. Drake. Then I vote for two that don't have votes yet, namely Enjoy Your Rabbit and Vespertine. And then today's wild card goes to... Aphex Twin. But really, it could well have been Kate Bush, Lingua Ignota, Squid, BCNR (I'm wth Guldbamsen here, their first is their best), Secret Chiefs 3, and even more. ------------- I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine. |
