I'm happy for that because I can't get on your site which is my old Mac's fault, it's been upgraded as far as it can be I'm told and it won't let me on many sites. Can I add 4 more albums to my list making it a top 9, I have a few more coming and I'm just not sure who gets that 10th spot until I send some time with those. I'll put the four in brackets and thankyou so much for this. I'm getting an I-Pad and I will check out your site as it sounds like a great resource.

The deadline for 2023 is approaching (Thursday) ... whoever posted their top 5+x here could/should also make their votes official. I might take the liberty to convert some of the lists here to official lists soon, for those who haven't posted an official list already. Having said that, anyone who would like to see their votes in the official chart but does not want to use the AP tool, feel free to post your lists here and I will convert them.

I haven't heard tons but the latest by these artists have all been great: Chronicles of Father Robin, Glass Hammer, Pattern Seeking Animals, Caravela Escalarte, Unitopia, Jordsjo, Hackberry and Agusa. Also, an honorable mention to the latest Trevor Rabin. I have Seven Impale and Lars Frederik Froislie but for some reason haven't gotten around to listening to them yet.

Glad you enjoyed it! Risa Takeda really is an out-of-this-world performer. If you enjoyed her work here I highly recommend her other collaborations with Tatsuya Yoshida as well (even if they arguably lean even further towards the avant-garde side than this album does)

I was off on a electronic ambient binge. My list hasn't changed a lot but I need to revisit a bunch of material. Everyone else's lists will get me started.
1. Witch Ripper - the Flight After the Fall 2. Seven Impale - Summit 3. Plank! - Future of the Sea 4. Atsuko Chiba - Water, It Feels Like It's Growing 5. Sleep Token - Take Me Back to Eden I really like the new Baroness and Queens of the Stone Age. Prog-adjacent I suppose. Very interesting on first listens, will likely make the final list: Father Robin Mercury Tree Hackberry Edited by Negoba - November 29 2023 at 14:57 |

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.
