Clive Gash The Comet Is Coming - Summon the Fire Heron - Yellow Roses Agent Orange - Bloodstains Oliver Nelson - Patterns The Shangri-Las - Out in the Streets
Just for the fun of it, if it had been a list competition, which one would you vote for?
A couple of notes:
- I know if it had been a lists competition most likely selections would have been different - I'd beg the participants not to vote for themselves - I have placed this thread here because the Cups section does not admit polls

I thought the standard was high this year. Favourite left field picks - Open Sky Unit and Artlu Bubbles.

Hard to separate Neige and hippiedrill. Probably go with Neige, as the highs were new to me.

I really liked 2 or 3 tracks from all of tge other lists in the finals, so hard to separate them in this kinda context.

Can't understand how you don't like thst Sun Ra track, G. I really think the name is putting you off before you listen! It's such a powerful track, with a huge groove that's peppered with some brilliant blowing and gorgeous funky guitar.

It's such a powerful track, with a huge groove that's peppered with some brilliant blowing and gorgeous funky guitar. I did quite like it, but I tend to find his stuff a bit formless. However it's not like I have a strong dislike so I listened with open ears. I basically really like three of your selections and quite liked two.

I think we can put a “cream of the crop” list together from the various lists.
I’ll plump for
The Comet Is Coming - Summon the Fire Heron - Yellow Roses Agent Orange - Bloodstains Oliver Nelson - Patterns The Shangri-Las - Out in the Streets

It is hard to say if any of the votes were directly for something or simply in context against something else.

My votes were all against the occupation of Palestine. Of course..It's a terrible album, with some overbearing production values..

I voted for all of 'skope's but one, I think, though there's nothing I truly love there, probably. Fange's might be higher quality, but it's also more one-dimensional. Neige's is mixed, though he has a few I like a lot.
For a final, they're all kind of disappointing. Mine would've been so much better, he said modestly.
