stuff i know from this-

glintshake - very good russian post-punk
metafive - japanese supergroup with cornelius producing - i voted for them in this poll. also came out with a really good ep late in the year, "metahalf"
knifeworld - one of kavus torabi's 10,000 bands. good prog, but didn't make my 2016 longlist even though i'm a pretty big proghead
the comet is coming - spiritual jazz, shabaka hutchings project - he's almost as prolific as kavus torabi. this was one of two shabaka hutchings records on my 2016 longlist.

Missed this one. Love the Exploded View and Eric Copeland records. Prolly would've went for one of those 2.

The Brodka album is so good. Somewhat baffled at the lack of attention here.

seven months pass...

After I read an interview where she talked about how she originally wanted to include church organ, but it didn't work, I heard the shadow of church organ (not always very subtle) everywhere on this album. Definitely the single best album of 2016 I feel is overlooked (especially on ILM). Probably would never have heard it if not for ShariVari's mention of it.

love the Exploded View album. It's in heavy late night rotation right now. They might have a new one soon?
