Leandro Fresco & Rafael Anton Irisarri - La Equidistancia

Have been falling asleep to this *a lot* lately (not a criticism), I think it’s pretty nice but I couldn’t say for sure

I'm a bit unsure if The Centennial Trilogy and The Golden Ravedays count. Both are projects that has been presented in that way, but released in parts. Does it count?

Unsure about the former but the latter was reviewed in Pitchfork as "a 6-hour album"

Yeah, but it got released as two songs each month. The first one got reviewed by Pitchfork as a trilogy as well. I don't know. I don't think either will make it, though I'll probably vote for both.

Sund4r - Dennis is a friend of mine and I was at the first couple of Ataraxia shows. Wonderful guys and the growth from first show to recording is pretty amazing.

I wouldn't have known if I wasn't friends with one of her old bandmates. I love this weird little record. She also put out an EP that's all vocal looping which is pretty neat.

can we nom saer collected works uploaded to youtube 2017 as an alb

this one was a personal fav

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny4R5h3pPKA&t=2s

Getting an error trying to play it. Backing you on voting for saer's 2017 output as an album. But would apprece if you'd vote for the killer trackes I nommed. Guy's a true saint.

hey dog latin, "Calling In Sick" was in the top 77 last year

Whoops, didn't realise! Can we take it off?

yes, saer's collected works needs to be included surely? is that in the rules?

the Moomins album is exceptional. Like Vangelis or Tangerine Dream played on toy instruments

Aphex Twin's soundcloud dump qualified as an album iirc.

If the community views saer's 2017 oeuvre as something they would consider an album who am I to disagree.

The Fun Years are a band that deserve more of my time than I've dedicated thus far in life.

Finally got the spreadsheets updated thru this post.

would've included some 03 greedo but purple summer 1 came out last year and his other stuff is too much of an immersive experience to whittle down to 1 track or tape imo

(10/30)

i'd love to be able to hear saer's 'album' in a more digestible format than youtube though..

These guys from the Perm are as shy as they are personable; a soundcloud or bandcamp would be great, but it does not appear to suit his modus operandi (yet).

I absolutely know which Saer track I’m voting for.

I'm a bit unsure if The Centennial Trilogy and The Golden Ravedays count. Both are projects that has been presented in that way, but released in parts. Does it count?

I'll vote for The Golden Ravedays. Self-indulgent and exhaustive to take as a whole it may be but there's a lot to love about it music-wise..

FWIW, Centennial Trilogy was released first as three separate albums. Ravedays is listed on Spotify as twelve different albums...

What are the rules on reissues? From what I understand is a strict album reissue is not eligible but a new compilation of old material would be, right?
I'd like to nominate (and vote..) for the fantastic Abdou El Omari records Radio Martiko released this year that are listed as 'previously unreleased albums'. Would these be eligible?

x-post
Spotify may list them as twelve different albums but Superpitcher's communicated quite clearly himself that it is to be considered as a single album consisting of twelve chapters.

Ravedays is on Spotify as 3 Albums and 9 Singles or something, it's absolutely stupid. I have no idea about it, and I will be okay with whatever the ILX community decides :)
