ILM's 2017 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

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.

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 :)
