THE 2011 ILM SUPER-MEGA YEAR-END ALBUMS 'N' TRACKS POLL™ is open for nominations!

Also if anyone wants to rep for 'Night Sky' by Gavin Russom that would be lovely.

TRACKS

Frivolous - Red Tide

1/25

^ too good to be buried at the bottom of the playlist imo

Argh, I forgot 'Ostalgia' as well.

if no one's nominated the album by the time i get round to mine i'll assuredly nominate it

Don't even like the album that much or ever want to listen to it all the way through but its best moments are wonderful.

yeah ostalgia and wasting time i quite like too... but i would be tempted to put the album in the lower echelons of my poll.

Things like archival various artist comps should always be allowed, because the end result of grouping all those tracks together is a "new" creation.

Okay, then I'd like to nominate this one:

Various Artists (compiled by Ben Liebrand) - Grand 12-Inches 8

Technically all of the stuff on the comp is old, but several of the 12" mixes on it have never before been available on CD, and it does have four new extended edits by Ben Liebrand that are exclusive to this comp.

It's certainly my most played album of 2011.

Sorry, here's the proper nomination format:

ALBUMS
Various Artists [compiled by Ben Liebrand] - Grand 12-Inches 8

Bill Orcutt - The Visible Stain

only track on spotify similar is called The Visible Bosom?

Spotify Playlist of Tracks updated. If I am missing something, it is because I couldn't find it. Or I just missed it.

ALBUMS

Roman Flügel - Fatty Folders
Sandwell District - Feed-Forward
Nils Frahm - Felt
Natural Snow Buildings - Waves of the Random Sea
Richard Youngs - Amplifying Host
Skull Defekts - Peer Amid
Patten - GLAQJO XAACSSO

8/25

ALBUMS

The Disciplines - Virgins Of Menace
Fiend (International Jones) - Tennis Shoes & Tuxedos

TRACKS

Pitbull featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer - Give Me Everything
AWOLNATION - Sail
Brianna - Marilyn Monroe

(12/25)

Brianna - Marilyn Monroe

irl fistpump

Sandwell District - Feed-Forward

i thought this was 2010?

Hmm, looks like there was a ltd vinyl version released on 22 December 2010, and then an obviously more freely available digital version was released in 2011 with a different running order. Would argue for it to be kept in.

xp to popppa abt Bill Orcutt: yeah that's probably right. I'm lucky I didn't call him 'Phil' tbh. Would you be willing to change that on the spreadsheet JF? Pretty please?

Tracks

Benjamin Brunn - Acidic Sun
Dan Andrei - Trebuie Da, Prima Incercare
San Proper - Lost Track of Time
Stablo 9998 side b
Mark E - Call Me (Dixon Edit)

(5/25)

TRACKS

my previous post was in praise of a song on your trax thread!

how come no one told me about this! it's amazing

I told you about it in the pub about a month ago although there's no reason you'd remember that conversation.

Re Mark McGuire, Is it a comp, wasn't aware of that. If so replace with:

Luke Haines - 9 1/2 Psychedelic Meditations on British Wrestling of the Early 1970s and 1980s. (Album)

The McGuire *is* a comp, but if you look at what's on it, it's all stuff that was "from the 2008 CDR blah blah blah - limited to 75 copies". It's stuff that was previously available to only a tiny handful of people and on a shonky format too, so effectively this is its first proper release.

troo

Yes, in keeping with our case by case position on comps, the McGuire is in for sure if that's the case.

Hmm, fair enough...I probably won't vote for it because it's not a "2011 album" for me but I'm fine with letting others decide for themselves.

Ha, knew the threat of Luke Haines would do the trick.

ALBUMS

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - Mirror Traffic

(7/25)

The new Drake cd is terrific!

Todd

ALBUMS

(8/25)

8 out of 25 isn't that great of a score, but if that's a positive scre, try to imagine what a 25/25 album would sound like!
