I updated my post. Sorry, I'm having a hard time to focus and keep track of my online activity lately Ermm It will be my last poll as a host, the last one I was so worn out I didn't even vote, I thought this one would be different.

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Actually, I will nominate dEUS - Slow.
Everybody knows it of course, but another obvious one, for me, is King Crimson's Dangerous Curves... (be careful, JD! Tongue)

To finish what I started...

Lewian: Of your choices I especially like the Hidden Orchestra track, which - indeed - you have suggested before, and the Startling Insects. Probably the first one a bit more, but it is rather close; the latter is more minimalist in a way, what I like very much too. The Ostzonensuppenwürfels track is nice too, but a bit too typical indie-rock sounding (to me).

I prophesy disaster: I very much like that Windchase track, and indeed that grooving bass in the latter third of it. I've also always liked Peter Hammil, but I have to be in the mood for it (although sometimes it is enough to just put it up and it will bring you in the mood - it is generally brilliant music!). I prefer Sitting Targets of all these, at the moment.

Mila: I like both of Masego/Don Toliver and Bab L'Bluz, with a slight preference for the latter; to my ears it has a touch more originality in the music. But the added Nordmann track, a kind of electro-rock-jazz, is probably what I like the best of your suggestions.

Cristi: I know and like (very much) the Camel and Radiohead tracks. Caesar Frazier and Alternosfera are great listens too, but my preferred track of your suggestions is the post-rocky Fragments of a Prayer by Collapse Under the Empire. Great one!

Nick: Nice story, and a wonderful track. I wouldn't be able to fall asleep to that, so I can imagine it woke you up every time.

Logan: another track by Ciśnienie, and another one that is really great. I definitely have to explore this band! A fantastic slow groove underneath some interesting musical soundscaping.

Tigerfeet: Ah, ah, an alltime classic. Great to hear this original version by Johnny Nash!

Mathman: (the first video doesn't work for me, but I found this one) Oh yes, classic Speedwagon-y (again!) AOR. Although not very original, it is indeed very enjoyable. There is not much development in Drive, so I prefer Linus and Lucy of these two. But I may still prefer The Angels.

Meltdowner: Wonderful, this Traffic track(s), great musicality and just a sheer pleasure to listen to!

JD: Almost missed And You by Edwin. Didn't know this one before. A very percussive and speedy rock 'n roll piece. Very enjoyable. Plus a wonderful track by The Clarks, which I actually prefer. You're slowing down!

I'm glad you enjoyed the songs. Smile 
I thought Camel and Radiohead were too famous for a final nomination. In the end I chose the less known artist. 

Collapse Under the Empire is one of the best German post-rock bands, at least for me. Definitely worth exploring. Smile

Thanks for the recommendation.
 
Actually, I'll nominate Peter Hammill - Sitting Targets because it is the track that directly relates to the poll topic (even if not in the way one would expect).
 

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.

I made a playlist so that we are ready to vote when the time has come. I should have done that earlier but didn't want to anticipate. Please check if the list is correct and complete.

^ Cristi, I'll help you to rephrase things:

"Thank you, Mila, for the playlist. Always very helpful! But could you edit the names out?"

See? That sounds a lot more sympathetic and will hopefully not discourage Mila to create playlists in the future. You could show some gratitude, at least.

Thank you Mila!

I don't see how I was disrespectful here. Confused
I am also not trying to discourage her to create playlists, I don't know where that came from. Confused
