Album of 2018 Grand Final - RESULT

[hector]

Jane back on telly tonight at 9pm (Ch5) Swan

Aye, it's called intererence

[gessa]

The 9pm show is called 'music for insomniacs' works every time apparently.
Plus1 at 10.00 for those that don't need to drop off as earlt.

[whiteswan]

If ever there was an oxymoron, it is easy listening with the McDonut creature....

absolutely nothing is easy listening of hers

It was a toss up between pop or easy listening hector, but then I thought of you and it was obvious which category I was going to choose

[whiteswan]

Jane back on telly tonight at 9pm (Ch5) Swan

Yes, fantastic isn't it. Two shows following on. And she's on New Years Eve I believe ( Rumour has it that channel 5 is changing it's name to the McDonald channel )

[whiteswan]

Aye, it's called intererence

That's very funny hector

That, however is not!

[lufc1304]

Leon, my apologies, correct spelling is 'Fernweh', not 'Ferweh'

[1964white]

Leon, my apologies, correct spelling is 'Fernweh', not 'Ferweh'

No problem Nick, amended

[The Subhuman]

My first for Rock etc

Khruangbin 'Con Todo El Mundo'

[becchio bear]

Arctic Monkeys 'Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino'

[The Subhuman]

My first for Rock etc

Khruangbin 'Con Todo El Mundo'

and for my second it's gonna be

Brass Against 'Brass Against'

I hate cover bands in the main but these stand head and shoulders.

One for gessa as I think he's a JA fan

[lufc1304]

I'm a massive JA fan, and I really like this, very interesting cover and the singer (Maya?) has a great voice

[The Subhuman]

She has ..I prefer Sophia Urista but that's a hell of a voice I agree. the guy on the Sax who looks a bit like Henry Rollins is responsible for some stunning arrangement

[The Subhuman]

and have you heard her do War Pigs ?

[The Subhuman]

and I have to throw in Sophia's rendition of the Pantera classic ..just because

[Durly]

Think I'm going to have to jettison Yellow6. Can't really see where it will fit in and I don't want to get rid of any of my other choices. In fairness, it's not likely to garner many votes anyway.

[Durly]

I will, however, add the fantastic 'Devotion' by Tirzah as a nominee for the FOLK/SINGER/SONGWRITER/COUNTRY category.

[The Subhuman]

I see Gandi has three in the soundtrack section ...no problem with that and in that case please add

Still Corners 'Slow Air'

to whatever category you think fit, it's labelled electro pop but I've no idea

[Genghers]

Pop/Rock
Confidence Man - Confident Music for Confident People

Solo/Folk
Adrianne Lenker - abysskiss
Ex:Re - Ex:Re

Electronic/World
fishdoll - Noonsense
Bokanté and Metropole Orkest - What Heat

Live
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (Live)

Where would a compilation go? It's a collection of various jazz artists from London on the label We Out Here...

Some great records already nominated - Kamasi Washington a particular highlight in there.
