Feel like I've nominated more band-based stuff than usual this year? I'm also not sure if I'm going to be voting for all of these as there are a lot of albums already on the list that are definites for me, but they're all strong contenders at the least and I want to keep my options open.

Oh shit, keep forgetting things!

**This track has become a bit of a headache. The original vocal version that I love so much seems to have disappeared completely (I think there was a rights issue). The “Vocal Version” that is on Spotify is no longer the original vocal version with, you know, actual vocals. There is a video version with re-recorded vocals by Vukani, but it’s not nearly as good.

An even bigger headache: the correct title of this track is “Iskhathi”, so:

Kwiish SA ft. C’Buda, Macfowlen & Vukani - Iskhathi (Vocal Mix)

No one nommed Sigur Rós's Variations on Darkness? It's surprisingly good, more ambient sound sculpture than anything even remotely rock-ish.
