Was stunned to see that no one nominated Sleep, "The Clarity." None of my singles were nominated, not even the popular chill-out "Waves" remix with Mr. Probz! My fault for not doing so, but I had run out of time. I'll leave the singles voting to those who are into the singles more.

Ueno Masaaki's Vortices EP is on the big Nominated Albums list, and Vortex State, a track from that EP, is on the Tracks list. So far so good. But Vortex State also appears, erroneously, on the Albums list. I guess album-votes for either title can be merged.
The whole EP kicks ass, incidentally!

Feel like there are relatively few consensus tracks this year, there's a load of stuff that could sneak in that might not in any other year.

This is old stuff released last year, it is very beautiful. I ended up cutting off the Luciano Cilio re-issue off my ballot to accommodate this gem.

I've implemented both suggestions - the changes won't show up on the noms list but they'll be merged in the results.

more listening. This is gonna go well into March if not longer I think, unless i get burned out.
Beep Dee's "From Above" is great EXCEPT for the high pitched alarm noise that punctuates every verse of the goddamn track so that's problematic.
Individual metal tracks shuffled into the midst of exploratory listening are proving really difficult to differentiate and enjoy especially when they're as onyx hard as Behemoth. I tried?
Beldina's "Ocean" is a late surprise add to my faves of the year... who nominated this? Good looking out! Wish she had more to listen to tho'...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhsJxdYeGYQriyl fka twigs, banks, tinashe, tkay maidza
I've loved everything I've heard on Ben Frost's AURORA and he was a killer live show but I somehow never took the time to really work the album out. "Venter" is as good as anything else on there.
I had wondered what the New Boyz were up to but this "Save It for the Birds" cut is torpedoed by a pretty painful vocal hook up front. I would very much be down with a resurrection of snap; minimal production is weirdly missing in a lot of contemporary hip hop all of a sudden.
Beneath's "Bored 2" sounds a bit too much like a bored guy playing with a sampler.
Weirdly the Benjamin Bruun track ("Alster Mermaid"), Benno Blome/Ada track ("Zen Cruiser") and Benoit and Sergio track ("Your Darkness") all have the same animus (if different time signatures). It's a shade under 20 minutes of music and if fits well alphabetically, creatively and emotionally. I like.
I'm still going back and forth on this Berner track ("All in a Day"). The production sounds like The Bug but the rapping isn't doing anything for me.
It's unkind but everytime I hear Betty Who I kinda wanna let Australia know we're not even done with Sia yet; can't they wait? Anyways, I like the two nominated tracks ("Just Like Me" and "Runaways") enough to let them play in passing but I can't imagine ever seeking this out.
The Beyonce album didn't impress me much on contact but the songs that I liked have burnished to love ("***Flawless", "Rocket", "Superpower", "Partition", "Haunted") and the ones that I was lukewarm on have turned mostly unlistenably tepid ("Drunk in Love", "Pretty Hurts", "XO", "Jealous")... I can deal with "Blow" in small doses. The Platinum exclusives are quite good tho: I thought "7/11" was dumb as hell on first contact and now I really can't get it out of my head; "Ring Off" is surprisingly strong and the "Standing on the Sun" remix has resurrected that track for me.

The nominations list is unexpectedly excellent this year. There's so much good stuff on there I'm kind of disappointed I can't spend more time putting together my vote.
