Thanks.

Now caught up with first listens to all, here are my thoughts, on a few additions, plus one new entrant (maybe?):

Cstack3:  Fareed Haque As this is a full length performance encompassing an hour, and you didn’t indicate which “song,” you were nominating from it, I will listen to the opener, I have a feeling I’ll really enjoy the music, however, but at a later time for the rest.  This starts with a jazzy guitar and bass, light drumming on both a kit and tablas.  Excellent jazz jam kind of piece, with a bit of a table solo.  I will enjoy watching later and catching some of the oud playing.

Greg:  Geinoh Yamashirogumi “Gassho Kariboshi-Kiriuta”  Keening, wailing vocals, female in front, with layered male vocal support behind.  This is very haunting, another gorgeous one, in my opinion.  Sounds very like in a church or temple type setting, it’s a very live sound (and be indeed be live).  The male vocals are set by themselves about halfway in, the the woman comes back, with the males again relegated to the background. 

Christian:  Toshimaru Nakamura “Live at Japanorama”  Begins very subtlely with some high, yet very quiet electric kinds of sounds and an occasional quiet thunk.  Little bell-like sounds come up, with a fair amount of sustain, thinking it’s natural sustain, if they are indeed bells.  Very meditative. About halfway in, the quiet almost heartbeatlike sounds become more steady with some little clicky-clackies added in.  The clicky-clackies ebb and flow for a bit, then some quiet bells again, very high-pitched.  The bells are like Tibetan bells, when they are using the little baton to encircle the bells.  Some louder whangling commences and intensifies into almost siren-like sounds, yet still whirly.  Another abruptly ending piece.  I quite enjoyed this one also.   

I prophesy disaster:  toe “Esoteric”  Begins very quietly with some backwards guitar or other effect, gradually builds and then electric guitar and drums kick in (probably bass and/or keys in there, too).  Drum solo with bass, then the guitar fits and starts in a rhythmic style.  This sort of thing repeats, my ear really enjoys the slight shifts and then changes, that are not arbitrary or abrupt.  There is a whirly thing in this one, not sure how effected.  There is a very logical sort of sound to this preogression, but not sterile.  There are some almost sitar-like sounds for a bit, then the drums conclude the piece.

George:  Blackstring “Hanging Gardens of Babylon”  This opens with a solo of an I don’t know the name of the instrument, but similar to a mizmar.  A sort of koto instrument is utilized, as well as electric guitar and some sort of hammered instrument, like a kanun or santur.  There is also some sort of traditional drum, worn on the player’s body, as if for marching.  The mizmar-ish instrumentalist comes to the fore again, then the hammered instrument, then back to the mizmar thing.  Now it’s the koto-ish person’s turn and back to the mizmar.  Now, the guitarist’s time to shine.  The pace picks up in intensity, then all play together again.  This is fantastic.  

I may have to not be able to vote on anything, since so much is over the top great in this poll, no matter who chooses what.

With little listening time in my hands the previous week unfortunately I haven't managed to listen to almost anything. This is a big pity because I'm very curious about this poll and will hopefully take some time to catch up with all the suggestions, not just the final list. (One thing I did with my time was to be on a festival where I could see Banco del Mutuo Soccorso live!)

I also had a hard time deciding between my own suggestions. All of them would deserve a nomination, but ultimately I'll annoy most of you by picking the longest and most abstract one, Toshimaru Nakamura - Live at Japanorama, on p.3, which maybe nobody has heard yet.

Maybe the Japanese didn't invent avantgarde electronic but they are quite leading at it, so it is actually in some sense a more Asian thing than the marvellous song by Anoushka Shankar (that maybe makes me think "London" too much) or Talvin Singh's music who is actually British (that's just a badly constructed and limping argument to make a choice though). Regarding Cornelius, the videos I love most are good live videos and this is one of the best... except this is not a video contest. The music isn't bad either, supremely coordinated teamwork and musical interaction in the band, still I may have been bewitched by the video, so Nakamura it is.

Torn between all of my selections, but going with The Chieftains ft Akiko Yano and "Sake in the Jar," as I always enjoy cultures blending.

Throwing a curve ball here (using an American expression stemming from baseball), and nominating a band I did not previously post a video for, but referenced in my post about Korean music.

Black String - Hanging Gardens of Babylon


This is from their 2019 album Karma, which I recommend.

(If this is not allowed, I will nominate Wahh World Fusion Band - Desire on Fire.)

ok, so I'll have until tomorrow to decide what to choose: Casiopea, Mono or Atravan. Tough choice. Tongue

However you have meanwhile eliminated 2/5 of your choices: Lovebites (JPN), Skyharbor (IND/UK). Tongue

^ Haven't commented yet on the songs, and I doubt I will come to it for all suggestions put up, but of your choices, my preference would be Mono.

Some that stood out for me up till now (of what I've listened to):
- Harry Partch
- Dewa Alit & Gamelan Salukat
- Geinoh Yamashirogumi
- Jambinai
- Kikuo ft. Hanatan
(tbc...)
