Hey, hey, Arthur Brown6! 🙂

redbear12, I have to ask—can your classical titles ever be anything other than a mile long? 😁
They barely fit in the poll, let alone the index topic list. Fine, whatever, I guess I'll just shorten them.

I've got a question.

1. Lisa Davis46, what's the deal here—can I submit two different suggestions at once? I mean, if it's a 2-in-1 reissue, that's technically two albums, right?

2. I totally agree that a double album counts as one entry and should be handled that way. But can I throw in a live album too? At the end of the day, studio recordings and live sets are both real albums.

3. I have a killer suggestion for a future round, but most of the tracks on it are covers. Is that going to be an issue?

My only real worry is making sure the albums I suggest actually get listened to and maybe even studied a bit. They don't necessarily have to win. I don't want to go through the hassle of starting a whole new thread if they don't take the top spot. Plus, it feels wrong if an album wins just because of votes when nobody has actually sat down and heard it. I'd much rather suggest something people actually listen to, even if it doesn't end up winning.

Look, just drop it, dustynomad10. We’ve already noted your suggestion, so you won't be repeating yourself in the next round. 😛 You can see the list is all over the place; some people suggested two albums while others just went with one, which is pretty standard. I guess we'll just wait and see what comes of this. Things have gone quiet lately, and maybe a little change of pace is actually a good thing.

As for the listening picks, you've got to find a way to hook us... but not by dumping a wall of text on us. You listen to everything and you clearly know your music inside and out, but maybe try being a bit more concise. Just give us a clear thought on why the music you're suggesting works for you personally. There’s plenty of great info there, but I honestly get a bit lost in your posts sometimes (even though I know you mean well).

Then again, who am I to lecture you? I’m right there in the trenches with you whenever I feel like writing something. 😁

Yeah, any kind of album works:
Studio albums, EPs, demos, live sets, whatever... you could even throw in movie soundtracks, though those aren't really represented much. So, yeah...

redbear12, iskusekriste, do your classicist titles ever stop being a mile long? 😁
I can barely squeeze myself into the poll and the index list at the same time. Whatever, I'll just trim things down.

I honestly could’ve made the title even longer. I probably should’ve listed the conductor for every single ensemble mentioned here too, but you get the idea. 🙏

Wait until you see these track titles. Seriously. 😁

Just toss that part in, then ditch that whole last bit about those fancy instruments... simple as that.

EDIT: I'm thinking this is like the 2012 version, whereas the original came out back in 2010. From what I can tell, this version actually has a few extra tracks on it too.

@vanchaaa
Everything’s cool. Regarding the lyrics—I know how much that matters to you—this current suggestion is probably my weakest one yet. Honestly, I don't think I can top this specific vibe. As for everything else I'm cooking up, including the lyric ideas? Well, you're gonna be seeing a lot of me over the next twenty rounds. You might actually need to freeze some of this stuff down just to keep up.
There’s another album coming, though not in the next round but the one after that. The lyrics are a little weird, but musically? It hits hard. As for the rest....
I’ve got at least 20 different directions I want to take before I even consider pivoting to something totally different, like blues, jazz, or maybe even some classical stuff.
So yeah, I have a massive lineup planned for what I'm posting.... If I really feel like it, I might even have to rip some tracks straight from vinyl and upload them to YouTube since they aren't available anywhere else...

Éliane Radigue | Feedback Works 1969-1970 [2012]

What’s white in the green woods?
Is it falling snow, or maybe swans?
If it were snow, the ground would be soaked,
if they were swans, they’d have flown away by now;
it’s neither snow nor swans,
just Éliane’s drones...


image

1. Stress-Osaka (June 1969)
2. Usral (April 1969)
3. Omnht (1970)
4. Vice - Versa, Etc (1970) Mix I
5. Vice - Versa, Etc (1970) Mix II

Stress-Osaka (June 1969)

P.S. These lyrics hit harder because they came out of '69.

😁 Hey!

Seriously, what is your deal with all those ugly brackets [] and pipes |?

You really want to make my life difficult, don't you?

Dark Wanderer, man... I don't know, I just love that movie and the music. Honestly, I could probably go through both all over again.

I finally got around to watching *Fearless* for the first time, starring Jeff Bridges.
I was honestly blown away by this one. The way he directs is just incredible, and I guess the way his role was written was pretty spot on too.

Puky is trolling 😁
Some time ago—not that it matters much today—I was messaging him privately about released versus unreleased albums, and I brought up Dark Side of the Moon versus something else...
He just posted it. 😁
Total troll move. 100%. 🤣

Speaking of Pink Floyd, I’ll suggest one to someone if I can track it down: The Stars—that’s featuring the twink and Syd. The twink drummer and singer from Pink Fairies.

And what's with all these ugly brackets [] and | ?

You're really trying to torture me here...

dw, uhhh man, I love that movie and that music so much, I could honestly rewatch both anytime.

I actually just watched 'Fearless' for the first time recently, the one with Jeff Bridges.
It totally blew me away—the way Weir directed it and how his character was written. Just incredible.
🙂

The soundtrack is such a cool concept, just like the album. It immediately sparked four different ideas for suggestions in my head: the Forrest Gump soundtrack, the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack, the Crimson Bomber Soundtrack, the How to be a Rock n Roll Failure soundtrack... and there's plenty more where those came from. I haven't even gotten to the actual soundtrack part of my plan yet...

Why on earth do you think she was being sarcastic? Even if she was, why do you think she’s actually right? Honestly, maybe we should just start a whole new thread so we can all hash this out together—like, what even defines "knowing music" anyway? I'm down for that. I definitely know exactly where to aim in a debate like this.😁

One guy tried going up against an OK Computer once, but they ended up edging him out by just a single point. 🙂

Bio is playing Thriller.

I don't know if it was Rumours. Should I just drop the next one next time? 😁

I’ve been getting this feeling lately—well, not always, but pretty often—that people are leaning heavily on big, loud, household names just to secure a win. It's like they're chasing a quick victory. Meanwhile, I'm out here trying to bring something actually meaningful to the table. I want to drop something fresh, something unheard of, something totally different. 🤷
