Voted for both of these.
Narkopop has been hugely influential on the way I think about making music (as a noodling bedroom producer). It’s a beautiful record.

This is one of the few consistently excellent house albums around. Feels like her masterpiece

gonna be a few before I can get #16 out
wait is imago "minimalism" anything that doesn't have 25 time signatures and a washboard solo every track?

I was expecting Culture to be slightly higher. It is a front-to-back great album (apart from the DJ Khaled intro which suuuuuucks

Have to admit, I never really understood the GAS albums from back in the day.

I said I expected GAS to be minimalist but there's quite a lot of textural detail, feels like you're all itching for a pile-on in the wake of scrootgate
however, as the gloves are off: the xx are proper shit
― imago, Thursday, 1 February 2018 14:33 (six years ago) link
the XX album is fine but I didn't go back to it much
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 14:34 (six years ago) link
to their credit, they actually did switch up their sound for this one. but yeah, i never felt compelled to listen to it
― hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Thursday, 1 February 2018 14:35 (six years ago) link
My favorite of theirs, oddly enough.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 1 February 2018 14:37 (six years ago) link
this is entirely plausible, I've got no idea
― bizarrer Gandhara (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 1 February 2018 14:37 (six years ago) link
another good album from them - Say Something Loving and Replica are two of their very best songs and they successfully opened up their sound. it's a really nice summer album
― ufo, Thursday, 1 February 2018 14:39 (six years ago) link
Can we go yay Octo Octa yet or do we have to wait for gr8080 to repost it?
anyhoo: yay

It was actually lex rather than Tim who tipped me off to her

Loved that album. Their concert at Roskilde this summer was stunning. Still don't get why they don't have legions of copycats.

and it's structured so well, there's a clear emotional narrative in the way the invitingly open first half accumulates, melancholy toppling over into anxious joy (joyous anxiety?) w the mariah carey sample, and then digs a tunnel w the groove until returning full circle, changed, in "pt. 2"
― sophistipop 2 (stritram), Thursday, 1 February 2018 14:43 (six years ago) link
still love romy's singing and the very direct and simple way it conveys romantic yearning, but whatsisface has got the worst voice in pop since that guy in the lighthouse family and has all the affecting pathos of a dirty sock
― faust apes (NickB), Thursday, 1 February 2018 14:46 (six years ago) link
Octo Octa is a great album I did not spend enough time with last year
― ufo, Thursday, 1 February 2018 14:48 (six years ago) link
the front cover of that album is exactly what i think of The XX. Sort of reflective, blurry and nothingy - going for high-concept but also being a bit 'so what'
― Badgers (dog latin), Thursday, 1 February 2018 14:50 (six years ago) link
OO seems like decent house, not that I know what decent house is at this point
― imago, Thursday, 1 February 2018 14:51 (six years ago) link
Been listening to the Octo Octa from the tracks poll a lot this week. Will definitely check out the album.

Inexplicable that XX placed this high imo. Isn't it a weak copy of the record before this one?

I liked Ears. I listened to this once but through my phone speaker while playing Earthbound. It sounded nice. Like Ears but with more words

it's not as good as the Earthbound soundtrack

this won't make sense to anyone else but this album sounds like the music they had in the lego bionicle flash animations (not a bad thing)

Don't think I heard this yet but would def have voted for it anyway

Great album
Also enjoyed the XX whenever I heard something from it.
Octo Octa was a major find from the poll. She's incredible.
