Thanks very much, Mila, for taking the time to listen to the playlist and comment on ones that most caught your ear. And I appreciate the kind words from all of you.

Very nice, thanks for comments and providing information about "my own" tracks that I hadn't been aware of!

Finally, I managed to listen to our playlist properly. These tracks particularly caught my attention:

(Sorry for this lengthy first comment, but I would like to say a bit more about my compatriot)

Jeremias Keller: Silicium

Keller is well-known in the Swiss contemporary music scene but I’m not familiar with his solo work.

In the video description another Swiss musician, Nik Bärtsch is named as a co-author of his solo album, Alloy. I learned from Keller’s website that the music is based on musical modules by Nik Bärtsch, which he used and reinterpreted in his own way. I am impressed by the musical richness and intensity of the chosen instrumental piece, especially considering that Keller played all the instruments and produced the album all by himself. Also, I have learned that “Alloy” is a concept album which makes me even more curious to listen to the whole album.

Bärtsch is a prominent figure in the Swiss music scene, and is known also beyond the country’s borders. He is the band leader of Ronin, an experimental band where Keller plays bass. Sometime ago I attended a concert of theirs. I can highly recommend them if you ever get the chance.

Infinien: Ascent 

Indeed, an outstanding and musically complex piece! Far from the typical prog rock sound we can hear in “Ascent” a classical piano run accompanied by symphonic instrumentation paired with prog rock and a discreet influence of jazz. I am not necessarily a fan of opulent and dramatic music, but this piece also has a certain lightness, especially through the instrumentation and the way the classical instruments are used.

La théorie des cordes: Alp - Le Colosse d'Anatolie

A rich and well-crafted prog rock piece with strong influences of jazz rock.Their sound is reminiscent of various well-known 70s prog and jazz-fusion bands, but this element of oriental music makes their sound very special and unique.

Musical diversity and an innovative spirit are something I particularly appreciate. Moreover, the latter is the actual theme of this poll, at least as I understand it. So even though the following two tracks don't quite convince me musically, I still want to give them my vote. If I could give to my top favourites two votes each and to my other favourites one vote respectively, that would be just perfect to me.

Tkomas Ankersmit

I learned that he is not only a musician but also an installation artist. I can well imagine that his music shows its effect in such a context.

Teke::Teke

I find this blend of psychedelic rock and influences from Japanese surf rock interesting and refreshing. Their style reminds me of Dengue Fever, a band that George introduced to us in a previous poll. I really like them.

____________________________________________________

Thank you all for the music and the comments! Thank you Greg for hosting. The addition of those bandcamp links was a huge plus. Well done! Clap

My condolences, Greg. The loss of our loved ones is always too soon, regardless of their age. I wish you all the strength and courage you'll need to get through the time ahead.

I appreciate it. I'm okay, I've been preparing for this day for a long time. Well mentally at least, a lot of related things I'm rushing to do. I'll be consoling a lot of her friends.

Many thanks to George and Christian. By the way, my mother died last night.   It's been a long time coming, not unexpected, and I have spent much of the last few days with her (the nursing home let me know last week that she had taken a turn for the worse, and so I stayed at her condo, which we had wanted to keep in case she could go back home at some time). Right now it's busy trying to arrange things and let her friends know. It's been quite a saga. Anyway, really busy with a lot of related matters, but wanted to say something if I seem to disappear for a while.

Thank you so much, George!  I felt the same about the recording.  Added bonus, they are really nice people, too, as it turns out, as I had some interactions with them.

Listened to this more than once now but usually while doing other things, and some of these obviously need full concentration to do them justice. The thing with "as many votes as you like" is that it's hard to decide where to stop. But anyway, great playlist once more, and for now I vote for Perla, ALP La colosse d'Anatolie, Voodoo Spinning, The Flesh of the World, Cosmic Tears, Visitor, Imprint Double, Ein Traum, I nostri giorni. These are really wonderful. Maybe I add some later. I already knew the Infinien and black midi album (artists! you don't make it easier mentioning you if you mess up upper and lower cases!), so I won't vote for them. Infinien is a real highlight. Not quite so sold on black midi.

No time yet to explore full albums, but thanks for providing all the links. I guess a good number will end up in my collection.

Many thanks to Greg for setting this poll up and to everyone for your contributions. Lots of good listens and I did delve into full albums as well.

Artists that were familiar to me were already familar to me were iNFiNiEN, Monika Roscher Bigband, Birth, Voivod, and Black Midi. With iNFiNiEN, Monika Roscher Bigband, and Voivod, I have earlier albums by them and their recent albums are on my to buy list. iNFiNiEN's album I had listened to a number of times and having a subscription to a music streaming service has the benefit of getting exposure to a lot of new and old music, but I don't always get around to purchasing, which I want to do to support the artists. 

Voivod is an old favorite that I haven’t really listened to much of their newer stuff. The track posted is good but falls into sounding like just another Voivod track to me. I had already purchased the Birth album last year and I have given several listens to Black Midi through Amazon Music since they are highly regarded here but they just haven’t quite click with me. 

Like Greg, I’ll restrict my voting to not dilute value but that’s hard. I think I have settled on 6.

ALL HANDS_MAKE LIGHT - The Sons and Daughters of Poor Eternal: This was even better in the context of the full album and I am prone to like these cinematic   

Jeremias Keller – Silicium: Very intriguing and again a better listen for me as full album.

Maud the moth + trajedesaliva – Perla: I need to get a translation, but sonically, the album was wonderful listening experience. The textures and the spoken word parts gave a full “concept album” experience without knowing the words.

La théorie des cordes - ALP La colosse d'Anatolie: Some great musicianship and composition. This also benefited from a full album listening.

Monika Roscher Bigband - Starlight Nightcrash: I had not listened to the album prior to the posting but have since, and I just enjoyed the entire experience with the modern big band sound. I am definitely prone to liking me some brass.

Sylvie Courvoisier Trio - Imprint Double: Really good jazz and the interplay of the three instruments is wonderful. All standouts but I really enjoyed the drumming. While the full album isn’t available to listen on Bandcamp, I have it queued up on Amazon Music. 

Fourth (and final you hope) share. I just came across this band on my Bandcamp feed and this should add to some diversity as I guess I would describe it as alt rock country soul with Bandcamp tags of alternative rock and art punk. Probably not going to gain any new listeners here but this video makes it on my list of all-time WTF music videos.  A young band as their debut album was 2 years ago and recorded when the band members were just teenagers. This track has a classic rock feel like the Rolling Stones and I enjoy this retro sound. From their 2023 album 3D Country.

Geese - Cowboy Nudes


Note to Greg. As to not add more non-diversity to this, I’ll only provide a Bandcamp link. Your suggestions collectively reminded me of a recent discovery, the band BIG|BRAVE and their latest album nature morte, though they have been around for about 10 years. Their music is labeled as post metal/ambient metal. They are from Montreal and associated with the post-rock scene there and the producer of their album also produced Lingua Ignota’s last album. Are you familiar with them?

^^ Many thanks, Kees, very much appreciated. So glad you found not only songs/tracks to like but albums to delve into, and more music to explore. It's been the same for me. Maybe not the most variety, but diversity is not necessarily a preferable thing.

By the way, re Uboa, that is an outlier of hers. As a full album, Uboa's The Sky May Be (2018), which can be abrasive, has been my favourite of hers, but it's rather too ambient noise for my current tastes -- I have fallen asleep to it which is probably not good for mental health. The Origin of My Depression is her best known and likely most acclaimed. "Commonly hailed as Uboa's (aka Xandra Metcalfe) death industrial masterpiece, The Origin of My Depression is the perfect mix of ambient, harsh sounds, and abrasive screaming" (yours truly).

To make it super easy for people to find, here is the playlist again on youtube:



https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4I-4Ju7rKbdyTgSUAh4jYNc

And here, now updated, are links to the applicable whole albums. It was established in a recent topic that various people are resistant to listening to tracks outside the context of an album, and this may be a reason why many regulars here do not participate in or have only minimally participated in the Interactive polls over the years. That said, most of those would not want to check out the whole albums either, which is mire time-consuming of course, and lots just want to listen to their own music and some have systems in place for listening to music. I'm someone who really enjoys listening to these and also will often happily go days without putting on music (I may listen to less music on average than most here these days).

All are welcome to join in with contemporary/modern tracks they like that are fairly recent discoveries to you, there are only three spots left. You don't even have to comment, vote or listen to other's choices, although it would be much appreciated. Please see original post for more details. Also, if you are worried about time, this has no closing date. And if you find there are too many to want to listen to, maybe limit to one per submitter -- should take minimal effort to figure that out since this poll is not many pages long).

Mentioned already, but Interactive polls should scratch each other's backs. ;) It's more than "A POLL", it's a community of polls from our community -- it's the communal aspect that most draws me to these. Here's Eduardo's (Heart of the Matter) Interactive poll (the newest one) which came out a few days after this one, and is a different take and framework for highlighting some modern music. 2023 Epics Interactive Poll I would have mentioned Swans' Beggar Lover (Three), but will think of something else, maybe. Not surprisingly, that is very Prog-centric, and I am not as into modern Prog as some (or if I am it tends to more outlier, questionably Prog stuff -- love Swans of course). If only Anna von Hausswolff had one this year....

Thanks all! This gave me some great listening sessions.

Maybe a couple of others will end up in my collection too, but that's less sure at the moment.

Thank you for your kind comments and the vote, Kees!  It was nice to be able to spend some time with so much great music offered by everyone.

Almost everything was either a great or a fascinating listen, so this was a very rewarding Interactive Play Poll, because I discovered some new artists. A quick run-through:

- ALL HANDS_MAKE LIGHT: Wonderful (as said earlier)! and added to my to-buy list.
- Jeremias Keller: Same here. Interesting approach and wonderful album!
- Secret Sky: Very nice so I listened to the album but I expected a bit more with this kind of instrumentation; the songs are rather conventional pop-rock songs.
- Maud the moth + trajedesaliva: Wonderful! Listened to the album (added to my to-buy list) and also explored a bit more from trajesdesaliva, who intrigue me more than Maud the Moth's solo work.
- Teke::Teke: Nice, but it has also something a bit gimmick-y.
- Katie Kim. Intrigued and listened to a couple of other tracks; will give the whole album a decent listen.
- iNFiNiEN: This one was already on my to-buy list; great album!
- Monika Roscher Bigband: Monika could make me start liking big band music. Listened to a couple of other tracks, of which some didn't convince me entirely, but this album also deserves a full listen.
- Uboa: The Flesh of the World is a great track, so I listened to the EP. Disappointed: the first track too ambient and the other two... Gosh, how I hate that kind of screaming. She has a great voice otherwise and the music is interesting, but...
- Birth: Nice to hear, every now and then, but this won't get into my collection.
- Voivod: No, thank you.
- Teeth of the Sea: Great track and I started listening to the album. Will listen to the full album, because this might find its way to my collection too (or some other album).
- black midi: Yes, very nice, but I'm not as enthused as others on these boards about this band.
- Thomas Ankersmit: Hmm, this needs me to be in the mood, but I will listen to the full piece when I am, because it is fascinating.
- Sylvie Courvoisier Trio: Very nice. Not that experimental to my ears, but a wonderful mix of contemporary music and jazz. Unfortunately only two tracks available on bandcamp, but I will try to listen to the whole album, because this one might also be added to my to-buy list and I will probably explore more of her work.
- Low: A bit slow, but at the same time captivating; I only have a vague memory of their work, so I might have to refresh that.
- Kristin Hayter: Minimalist and tense, as I like it (and she's not screaming yet!). Nice track.
- Noveller: Great track! Makes me think a bit of The Durutti Column. Listened also to a couple of other tracks; some a bit too ambient to my liking, others quite fascinating. Will listen to more of hers.

Thanks all! This gave me some great listening sessions. I'll vote for those that ended up on my to-buy list (or probably will soon): ALL HANDS_MAKE LIGHT, Jeremias Keller, Maud the moth + trajedesaliva, iNFiNiEN, Teeth of the Sea and Sylvie Courvoisier Trio. Maybe a couple of others will end up in my collection too, but that's less sure at the moment.

And now, strangely, after all this I want to listen to some Emerson, Lake & Palmer...
