The Seer, an absolute masterpiece, hands down. |

^ I'm going with The Seer too. It took quite some time for that album to really warm up on me, although I have long liked music off it, having preferred the later albums (especially the Glowing Man and To Be Kind, but also leaving meaning.) as well as earlier albums (Soundtracks for the Blind, Children of God, The Great Annihilator, White Light From the Mouth of Infinity and the live album Omniscience). With Anna von Hausswolff, I prefer Dead Magic and The Miraculous to Ceremony, as well as her Live at Montreux Jazz Festival. With Julia Holter, Aviary is my favourite of hers, but I also am more into Have You in My Wilderness and Loud City Song (at least for now). With Magma, E-Re is my fave modern album by the band. Félicité Thösz can be beautiful and reminiscent of some of my favourite Offering. Fave Magma remains the debut. With Comus, I enjoy Out of the Coma as I do all of the albums in the little list, but I prefer the albums before they recovered from the coma, more body than aroma (to reference Spinal Tap's Back from the Dead) including the much derided by many (but not by me) To Keep From Crying. |

Agreed Magma ------------- Friedrich Nietzsche: "Without music, life would be a mistake." Music Is Live Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. Keep Calm And Listen To The Music… < |

Magma's album is the only one I haven't heard (the track is nice, but not really special), heard snippets from Comus (but it didn't stick). I listened to the Seer only a couple of weeks ago and this Julia Holter album last year (but I bought Aviary...). These are nice albums, but von Hausswolff's Ceremony is the most special one for me and thus stands out. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

While I decided not vote for it, I actually made this poll specifically with von Hausswolff in mind as I had been taking a break from music, and came back to it by returning to von Hausswolff albums. Mind you, I also stopped listening to music for a while after being in a von Hausswolff heavy listening groove. Instead of music specifically I had been listening to Audible’s The Sandman Act III and various true crime things. |
