Interactive Tracks Poll: Goodbye 2023, Hello 2023!

My second suggestion is also an instrumental. Go Go Machine Orchestra are from Taiwan. I suggested them for PA a few months back and it looks like they just cleared over at Awesomeprog.

They have two tracks on their album with a second version featuring Taiwanese saxophone player Minyen Hsieh. This is one of them.

Go Go Machine Orchestra - Atom (feat. Minyen Hsieh)

Yeah, I started listening and notating today.  Just made it through Greg's tracks, and noted yours, Christian's, and Kees into my word doc.  Busy week this week, but I find time here and there, scrinching up bits as my time allows.  Might be best to listen that way, anyway.  It's kind of funny to put forward "favourite albums," but have them represented by a song (although that is exactly what I do a lot of), and not have time to hear the whole albums.  However, the impetus to listen to more of those that catch my ear will certainly come out of this!

Three songs, for now...

My third suggestion from my #3 ranked album.

Jack O' the Clock - The Ladder Slipped

Thanks for all of the submissions.

George, of the three of mine, Sufjan Steven's would be my choice too. As for Suanna Sundfor's tha songs had never impressed me much, but I was really enjoyed it the either day, and I did like the contrast it provided with the other two. I would think that some would think of my three entries as something of a sh*t sandwich, fairly palatable/ pleasant on the outsides and the inside (by Sprain) being very abrasive. I like Atom, by the way.

Frets N Worries: No frets nor worries, and I added "The Stardust Medley", which I had listened to before, to the playlist. I suggested about 10 minutes or less to make it easier to listen to music by others, but one need not listen to the initial suggestions anyway (that is optional), and some might mention more than others. I often adapt in these topics as I or others see potential improvements. Thinking about it now, I think it should be absolutely fine to mention longer tracks for the suggestion process, but I would like one to try to limit the actual nomination to a track of about ten or less minutes because I then ask people to check out all of the music. before voting for three (not your own choice). That does not mean you must always listen to every track in full if music clearly does not appeal, you might listen to the opening then bits throughout.

Richard: It's interesting to wake up and see you mention the Sea of Tranquility gang lists. I just read their albums of the year last night as I saw it linked to over at Progressive Ears (I don't post there yet) and was thinking how I shared none of the same choices. There are so many furrows to explore. If Squeaky Feet is not in PA and has not been suggested, then maybe it should be. That track seems pretty clearly to be Prog to me.

Referencing Hrychu's comment: One can vote on the awesomeprog list for non PA releases, and I mention ones in my list that are not in PA in the AOTY topic as well as in many places. Somebody has to be bring it up to have it included, and it seems no one has for that November, 17 release. had it come out earlier in the year then it is moire likely that it would have been suggested and talked about.
