Urban75 Album of the Year 2023

[hitmouse]

Can't find any mention of Death and Vanilla's Flicker on these lists so far. Superb psychedelic dream pop

Ooh, will have to give that one a listen.

 

[hitmouse]

The Death and Vanilla is really good.

From that listened to The Coral's album, more on a whim than anything else - not listened to anything from them for years - and it is surprisingly good. Might not make my top 20 but nice to discover.

belboid , are we allowed live albums, particularly of recordings made last year, if the commercial release date was this year? I ask regarding Autechre's AE_LIVE 2022 collection.

that is perfectly acceptable

 

[stavros]

Edited because it better suits the new albums thread.

What's the deadline? Need to decide where to place this on my to-do list - should it be prioritised over looming work deadlines?

Mandy, Indiana - I've seen a way

Dance , punk noise with groovy violence from Manchester

This is nuts

You have until December 16th to get your votes in and I shall do the reveal shortly thereafter.

Done - got my list in. It was almost done - just needed a bit of finessing.

This one's been growing on me since it came out - definitely on my list this year.

 

[stavros]

I'll get mine sorted tomorrow. Is midnight GMT the deadline?

No. It is ‘sometime round then’

 

[stavros]

No. It is ‘sometime round then’

It's like the deadline for an agreement at the COP summits, i.e. moveable, and some would say more important.

It's certainly more meaningful than an agreement at a COP summit.

Huh, I remember seeing them a while back and they were alright but didn't make that much of an impression, but this is a really fun record so far.

Yeah, I kind of agree - that's why I commented. At first I thought yeah, that's OK, but it didn't exactly blow my mind. But I've liked it more with each hearing.

 

[MBV]

Looking forward to the results

 

[belboid]

Vote early vote often!

Well, it's too late to vote early. And I'll only accept one vote, no matter how may times you may change it. So, essentially, the message is

VOTE

sometime in the next 24 hours or so

 

[stavros]

My top 20 has just landed in your inbox.

 

[magneze]

I voted on Monday

 

[belboid]

If anyone thinks I am looking at this before 2pm, GMT, you’ve got another thing coming.

Still 12 hours to vote

 

[belboid]

362 nominations!

I hope nobody is in any great rush.

Is that 362 albums, not 362 lists?

The idea of 362 separate lists ... <shudders>

Is that a record ? (Pun intended)

 

[stavros]

I put in a late amendment/addition, via a PM. I hope it can be accounted for.

I have misplaced a couple of the early lists, but if it isn't, its bloody close to being (I have a half memory of either just hitting or just being shy of 400 in one poll)

With absolute pleasure

(as it made no difference whatsoever)

Do i need to resend mine? It was quite early.
