Having announced my votes, I forgot to effectively cast them. That's done now...

I know I love Spirit of Eden as much as you love Laughing Stock. In any case, they are both absolute masterpieces. You may prefer this and I may prefer that. After the flood is my firrst choice for the podium.

Thank you, Christian! These were all pretty compelling to me, as always, so hard to choose my favourites amongst them. I loved going farther into Dhafer Youssef's catalogue, what a fine blending of styles and stellar musicians. Loved the live versions in particular.

Dhafer Youssef is the winner here (I really wasn't aware that this was Nicky's nomination once more when I decided that this is great ), then Alternative Quartet (can't go wrong with post rock for me), and A Winged Victory for the Sullen. Alice Coltrane would've been up there but I knew that one.

Sutras is full of excellent songs and it is beautiful as a whole. |

1. Alice Coltrane - Journey In Satchidananda / I used to listen to quite a lot of Alice & John Coltrane, Pharaoh Sanders back in the day but not so much anymore. This took me back to 15-20 years ago when things were better and/or worse.
2. Donovan - Nirvana / I know Donovan of course, but never really listened to him. If the songs posted here are any indicator, I'll need to fix that. 3. M. Ward - Chinese Translation / The above choices were easy, but third position took some consideration. I ended up with this because of its good laid back feel.

Thank you for the Dhafer vote. I can't fault anything he's put out, now that I've had a chance to dig deeply there.

My votes are going to these artists: - Dhafer Youssef - Soupir Eternel - M. Ward - Chinese Translation - Vesa-Matti Loiri - Sielun Pohjalla All three unknown to me and very good. Otherwise, Talk Talk's After the Flood would definitely be in here too.

After lots of hemming and hawing, one might even say
endless contemplation, here are my votes.
Number One stayed at Number One all through, I even bought a CD of this,
I liked it so much. Two and Three fought
with one another valiantly and Three and Four were in heavy contention, after I
decided on the Number 2 spot. I am a big
fan of Donovan, I think I ended up going more with the surprise of Talk Talk as
opposed to the more familiar style of Donovan, although I actually loved all
three of those songs of his. Many thanks to Nick for jumping in and covering so quickly for Raff (may she feel inclined to rejoining us soon, very curious as to what she would bring). Thanks as always to George for the playlist, and to everyone who participated. A shoutout to Lorenzo in hopes that he is recovering nicely at this point. 1.
Kees:
His Choice A
Winged Victory for the Sullen “We Played Some Open Chords and Rejoiced, for the
Earth Had Circled the Sun Yet Another Year”If he’d picked this, it would also have made it to the top for me:Arvo Pärt “Spiegel im
Spiegel” 3. Lewian: Talk Talk “After the Flood” Honourable Mention: Lorenzo: Donovan “Nirvana” Also would have contended if you’d picked it: Donovan's “Everlasting Sea” |

Yes, thank you George. I listened through the nominations yesterday without the playlist, but that made it easier to revisit and refresh. As usual, paring my choices down to three feels less than satisfactory (of course, that's ultimately a good thing). I had only heard two of the nominations beforehand, other than my own of course, this round. With Donovan in particular I am a big admirer, although mostly for his 60s through early 70s material.
I am going with: A Winged Victory for the Sullen - We Played Some Open Chords M. Ward - Chinese Translation Dhafer Youssef - Soupir Eternel (those three I feel also play very satisfyingly together). Cool round, Nick, and thanks for stepping up to take it on such short notice when circumstances prevented the other one from happening. Edited by Logan - July 06 2021 at 10:50 |

Thanks! Your playlists are always appreciated!
I’m trying to work out if I ignore tracks/artists I know or not, because if I do (as I normally do), it severely limits my choices! 🤪 |
