:-O

Is this actually from this year?

It's from 1978.

from their bandcamp

"The Fruit Band's fleeting existence was only recently revealed by the discovery of a few unsold copies of their sole 1978 single,Say It, which quickly became a cult showpiece for savvy DJs and collectors. Athens of the North has since reached out to Cypress Studios of Jacksonville, Florida and discovered a complete album of the group's stylish, dancefloor-smashing funk and deep disco on tape, unreleased for over 30 years. Vinyl is presented in a Handmade cardboard Tip-On Sleeve as would have been used at the time as only the best will do.

There's some essential ones tho... we should have a S/D thread about this sort of albums. Top of my head two long lost albums which really feel essential to me:

Black Devil Disco Club
Saada Bonaire

If posthumous/archival releases count then Arthur Russell has some great ones which I might even like more than his released material.

I did not know there was a Floorplan album this year

it's decent too

the Fruit single and LP were released in 2016 and are some of the greatest things i heard all year

Noms for the not yet nommed.

Albums

The Early Years - II
Motorpsycho - Here Be Monsters
Clipping - Splendor & Misery
Bartosz Kruczynski - Baltic Beat
Karda Estra - Time & Stars

How do we get Tidal links included? I believe that there are alternative ways to listen to music, other than Spotify and YouTube, though ILM is sponsored by Spotify (and couldn't manage its statistical analysis without that connection).

lol tidal

Companies owned by black people are pretty laughable compared with companies owned by Swedish people, so yeah. It's fun opening Tidal and finding *absolutely nothing* that's highly ranked on ILM.

Cool guys, let's do this for the millionth time

Spotify is used by more people in more countries than Tidal, so it's the service of choice for this process. Vimeo is a superior platform to Youtube, but Youtube's use is so widespread (and it has a bigger catalog, so it's a no-brainer).

p sure dlp is the only cool guy who does this all the time

It's fun opening Tidal and finding *absolutely nothing* that's highly ranked on ILM.

I'm confused, isn't this another argument for why we should stick to using Spotify for these playlists?

Quite the reverse, actually.
