ILM's 2014 End of Year Albums & Tracks Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

ALBUMS

boosie - life after deathrow
a-wax - pullin' strings
shabazz palaces - lese majesty

have added my tracks noms to the playlist btw JF

Cool! I was maintaining it alone up to a certain point, but since it's collaborative any ilxors on spotify who nominated tracks can add those tracks to the playlist. Less work for one person (me!).

I added my noms to the list too. (Except for "Zen Cruiser", which doesn't seem to be in Spotify.)

That Happy Meals track is great. Checking out the whole ep right now.

ALBUMS

Gigi Masin - Talk To The Sea
Jeezy - Seen It All (The Autobiography)
Midnight - No Mercy For Mayhem
Hildur Gudnadottir - Saman
Edward - Into A Better Future
Abdulla Rashim - Unanimity
Julius Steinhoff - Flocking Behaviour
Slim Twig - A Hound At The Helm
(15/30)

Not sure there's anything else on the Happy Meals record that's as catchy as that one song. Lots of it is just kind of pleasant and drifty iirc.

Lorenzo senni - quantum jelly

^ this one is from 2012; Superimpositions is the one that came out this year

― brimstead, Saturday, December 13, 2014 3:01 PM

Crap. Sorry about that! I hadn't heard any of his stuff before this year. Didn't like his current release so went backwards on Spotify and ended up listening to Galactic Melt about a hundred times forgetting it was not his most current. Guess I will forever associate it with '14, either way!

20 nominations so far... Probably won't nominate any tracks.

Looking at the nominations list so far, and the critics poll thread... man, what a supremely "meh" year in music 2014 was. 2013 seemed ludicrously and prolifically opulent at the time, upon only one year's worth of reflection, it truly was.
