In just under the wire and, as we've done before, I am going to enter the YT videos for him.  We may or may not hear which he prefers, but as the second one is a "poem," I am going to enter "Nineteen Forty-Eightish," as his selection to nominate, unless I hear otherwise.

Hi,

This is my preferred choice, and the second part is a poem ... both of these have incredible lyrical moments and it is sad that some folks would rather listen to inane lyrics than something like this. From the JUGULA+ album.

And if that is not enough, my other choice would be "Playing the Game Pts 1-5" on the album HEADQUARTERS ... a hard rocker that many folks here can not get their ears on! And with amazing lyrics ... now you know why RH did not want to tour with PF ... he wouldn't be able to do things like this on a show and show that his lyrics were better, and more important, than RW's. The fans would tomato his really quick, I'm sure. I would HAVE thrown those fans out of the arena very fast! They didn't come for music, they came for the big hit!

1."Nineteen Forty-Eightish"Harper9:45
2."Bad Speech"Harper1:17

Thank you to TCat, Snicolette, progaardvark, and Lewian for your comments (I hope I didn't miss anyone). 
 
There didn't seem to be a clear preference for one track over the other, so my own preference as well as intuition came into play to help make my decision.
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Thanks for the comment Lorenzo. 

Snicolette, I do pick them as my final Nomination. Smile

But I have changed my choice. This prior track, although fun, did not really represent the other facets of the multiple sides of this band, or their captivating style. 

I now choose this track - The world is full of plankton 


I am quite obsessed with this group right now. I am sure a lot of people here have heard of the The Future Sound of London - well these guys are huge, as in they have a huge portfolio of work spanning across many decades and genres from electronic to heavy psychedelic and make use of multiple types of instruments - They also have many alias'  In this particular incarnate they are named the Amorphous Androgynous and wow!  They lately released a new album collaborating with Peter Hammill (I haven't posted one of those songs since none are available to listen to - but you'd be advised to if you can :) They also tend to release re-mixes of most of their work as well as others, which are also wonderful. 

I really wanted to post a track from their latest release with Peter Hammill and other guest musicians.

Thoughts on Ronstein's addition:

Ronstein:  William D. Drake “Distant Buzzing”  begins with a sort of comic feel, like a 1930’s cartoon circus.  Love the Boston Terrier in the tutu, but I am not really contemplating the video, per se).  A giddy sort of feel, full band with whirling keys and a lead guitar popping in, along with the circus-y portion interspersed with  vocals.  Flute comes along with a quasi-Middle Eastern snake charmer solo.  They are certainly very energetic.  Very abrupt ending.

A very elaborate seven-minute song with an acoustic beginning that then becomes hard rock. The best part is the central one with an acoustic ethnic arpeggio accompanied by shouted singing. Then the music makes an emphatic pause (too long) and finally restarts with the same initial rhythm but made (great intuition) distorted and dissonant. There is a certain technical and virtuosic complacency that slightly spoils the immediacy of the inspiration, but we are still close to the masterpiece- Contender

^ Although you've already reviewed it, I might add a second review to Briny Hooves at some time, which is the one of his that I have most listened to -- and I still think the Robert "You look different every time you come from the foam crested brine" Wyatt comparisons are valid, not that you were the one questioning it in the Seahorse vs. Sea Song poll. *Drop it, Greg, just drop it.*

William D. Drake and the North Sea Radio Orchestra are great indeed but seem to be better known around here than their ratings numbers suggest, same with .O.rang apparently. Can't stop myself from mentioning that I'm still the only one who has reviewed that William D. Drake album. Wink

 Hello Ronstein, if you wish, you can actually present 2, then select which of them you would like to nominate for voting, I'll be asking for those to be in no later than Friday morning, when I open the poll voting.  I will post a reminder tomorrow morning for everyone to start making their final selection.  

Thanks. My second offering is:

William D Drake - Distant Buzzing


My nomination will be Advent as they're the more unsung/unknown.

.O.rang is a project of Harris and Webb after the end of the great Talk Talk, and they prove that there was more creative force than just Mark Hollis behind them. Love this. 12 ratings this album, 15 for the band overall.
.O.rang - Mind on Pleasure


As a fan of Talk Talk I already knew this piece, which stands out above all for its polyrhythm and sound experimentation. O. Rang's first record is beautiful. The piece slows down towards the middle, the music becomes unpredictable, were it not for the drums, but the other instruments also work in a percussive way, and it is also very welcome that hint of singing. Final reminiscent of Talk Talk. Excellent piece, a small masterpiece. Contender.
