Can anyone else see that Discogs img link? I can't.

Discogs doesn't allow direct picture linking, you shouldn't use it.

see mi yah is one of those albums that i really should have got round to hearing in the past half decade. all i have are scattered remixes (carl craig's "poor people must work" sticks out)...

Rhythm & Sound have always sounded better as a concept than what the actual music is like. The only tune by them I think is an absolute classic is "What a Mistry" with Tikiman.

see mi yah looks like it might be worth listening to, anyone wanna say more about it.

I like this, but not nearly as much as "With The Artists"
― Dan S, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:12 (fourteen years ago) link
actually i think i've ONLY heard the see mi yah remixes, not the originals.
when it was a big thing i was only just getting into mnml techno, so i think it passed me by. possibly because 10 versions of the same riddim seems a bit much even for me.

i don't know R&S, but the cover is great (reverse camera obscura effect)

Never heard of See Mi Yah before but it sounds kind of an interesting idea. Gimme Fiction is by no means a great Spoon album; Carter III is ok but I can't say I've listened to it loads since it came out.
― Gavin in Leeds, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:39 (fourteen years ago) link
That Carter III thing is in last place and is still somehow way way way way way way too high. Way too high.

true but i'm kinda happy to have it out the way and not know it's gonna show up later. really hoping Carter II does well.

was my #1 of 2007, but 2007 was a weird year.

ha didn't want this just to become album cover critique but the battles cover >>>>> battles music.
― fuque santa cruz (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:42 (fourteen years ago) link
i listened to this a decent amount in 2007, and they're one of the best live bands i've ever seen, but i didn't really consider voting for it in this poll
― altered scones (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:42 (fourteen years ago) link
i loved that album at the time but in the end i only ever listen to atlas so they got relegated to tracks-poll-only for me
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I voted for the Caribou album, it's a really relaxing piece of summery psych-pop that deserves a listen from all ears.
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:43 (fourteen years ago) link
am pretty interested in hearing their new material tho -- i am willing to submit to battlesmania once again
― altered scones (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:44 (fourteen years ago) link
race in and atlas kind of summarized battles so well that the rest of the album, while not bad at all, got dwarfed.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:44 (fourteen years ago) link
It's already clear to me how much I've devalued the album as a steadfast go-to in my own listening based on the results thus far. I have vague memories of hearing most of these, but it all comes down to a song or two for me. And I don't mind that at all.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:48 (fourteen years ago) link
Like I posted in the tracks thread, Mirrored has aged horribly. It sounded so exciting back in 2007 but I listened against recently and it felt obvious and plodding.

wow. Great. I didn't vote for this but I'm really glad it showed up. I didn't realize how old it was either or Dayvan Cowboy would have shown up on my tracks list.

starting to remember how much further from my taste these album polls are compared to the tracks polls.

BoC, at least late-period BoC, has nothing at all to do with IDM. It's not naive either. They're good at layers of sound, which I happen to love at 2 in the morning when I don't feel like staying awake but don't quite feel like going to bed either. xps

Fair enough, to be honest I never got past Music Has the Right to Children, which has one good track and the rest is kinda boring.

I voted for In My Own Words and think Gentleman is pretty unremarkable outside of the (great) singles, but still really happy to see Ne-Yo here.
