Glad to see someone else enjoying it. There didn't seem to be that much interest here, except for a couple of people.

Matthew Shipp Chamber Ensemble - not gospel as the title suggests, but improvised chamber jazz! (I'm v tired, sorry.) But S. Victor Aaron's review is a good commentary. As well as this album on Relative Pitch, Shipp's trios had two other nominated albums in 2015 - The Conduct of Jazz and To Duke, from which "In a Sentimental Mood" is on Soundcloud.
Voting for Oshun's Asase Yaa mixtape, after much deliberation and arbitrary snubbing. There's really too much to choose from itt, but tracks like "Șango" really put it over the top for me.

White Out/Nels Cline - great noise, although for me it never quite seems to get going (but I'm def misunderstanding what 'get going' means in this context)
I listen to it as a psychedelic album, personally.

I voted for the Shipp, but for his chamber jazz I prefer Elastic Aspects, from a couple years back (actually one of my favorite Shipp albums in general). The Gospel According to. . . is a little less accessible.
I never got to hear To Duke. It's not on Spotify and I have had ridiculous expenses this year so I've avoided CD buying, though if I'd seen it at the right moment, I probably would have gotten it. The psychology of ordering it online is just different.
What I heard of the Conduct of Jazz was too jazzy for me.
