Bracket 3.3.5 Fashion Show - Straight 3 Ivo's Group - That Shocking Shaking Day 3.5 I didn't see Tropical Malady, so I don't know the context but I found taht Fashion Show's music resembles the group's name. So I'll go for Ivo's Group and this kitschy 70's prog. I like that (even the cheesiness of i...

Songs: 1. Jayhawks- Blue (RYM has this as '93 but the album didn't come out until '95 so I'm not sure on this one) I was also puzzled by that strange release date in RYM so I checked other sources and it turns out that it's a mistake. Every fan source (like this one and sites like Discogs or Wikipe...

nicolas

sonofsamian, Jesus Blood Never Failed Me yet will be in my list. It was originally recorded in 1975, but the 93 version is different and extended. It's my current #7. Too bad you didn't put in in yr list. It is perfectly eligible. It's concidered as an album by RYM and I read in the liner notes that...

here is my list in progress

Here's a link to a video i've juste uploaded on Youtube of Sambasunda's Lost Two Tigers.

nicolas

Last 2 brackets are absolute killers !
PS : Dan, about your pick, don't you think that the name of the band is Sambasunda and the song Cbmw Bandung ? they really sound like the Sambasunda in the 4th bracket (one of my picks)

nicolas

Another great recording from 1993 is modern classical composer Gavin Bryar's Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet . Don't panic if you don't hear anything in the beginning, and keep listening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1lnSi7QWY8 I discovered this piece at a modern dance show in 1998. As amazing as...

nicolas

Yeah Pierre 93 was a huge year in France; it was really in the mid-90s that French pop exploded.
And Zorg, Liberation is great (maybe less so than Promenade) but both are in my all time top 30.

nicolas

Yeah, and "Kiko" winning the tie-breaker despite fewer votes in the pool results proves that it was just a lesser known album. People listened to it and preferred it to the B Boys. So if everybody plays the game and manages to listen to ALL of the songs and/or albums those lesser known son...

nicolas

Here are the results

Albums

Los Lobos-Kiko 12
Beastie Boys - Check Your Head 9

Songs
Pavement -Here 14
Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness 7

nicolas

Please be sure to listen to my favorite album of 1993, Divine Comedy's Liberation

nicolas

Bracket 3.3.1 Various Artists - Hudjan Mas (Golden Rain) 4 The Dawn - Abot Kamay 4 Both are good songs but like Honorio I will nominate the gamelan music from Bali for its special charms (with a jazz influence in the drumming) Bracket 3.3.2 Kwan Jai & Kwan Jit Sriprajan - E-Saew Tam Punha Huajai...

nicolas

I'm not sure there is an ideal way. It was a try in a new direction, and I kinda like it.
Maybe for the next decade poll we could mpake a sort of mix of both methods, like the Henrik method although it would be time consuming for the poll manager.

nicolas

Los Lobos - Kiko

nicolas

OK, it's time for a double tie-breaker

1) album

Please chose between

Los Lobos - Kiko and Beastie Boys - Check Your Head

2) songs

Pavement - Here or Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness

Voting will close on Saturday 5 may at 0.00

nicolas

yes you're right Zorg
and I will organize a double tie-breaker soon

Well the general rule used in the past decade polls is goal (or point) average. Or am I wrong ? Because it is the same case for albums. Petri, Honorio, Nassim, Stephan, henrik, what did you do when there was a draw at #15 ? did you count the number of votes ? average points ? tie-break vote ? That w...

Hey guys I won't post the results before tomorrow or even thursday, so the voting is still open as long as the results are not online

nicolas

Brad, Chris Bell is perfectly eligible

nicolas

Henrik, there is no number 5 in your list
Did you forget an album ?
I have corrected the list but it only has 14 albums now.

nicolas

Midaso, "She Talks To Angels" is from 1990. Do you have a replacement song ?

nicolas

Stephan, there's a problem with your first link in Bracket 3.3.2 (Kwan Jai & Kwan Jit Sriprajan). It goes to an indian song !

nicolas

Nassim, Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo is from 1991, unlike what the AM3000 says. Both RYM and Wikipedia, and most of all my own CD copy say it is from 1991. same for "Nouveau Western" which is a 93 song. (RYM & Discogs), and "La Concubine de l'hémoglobone" (1994) So, if y...

It's a shame about klezmorim. i should have made a youtube vid myself with the right version, it's fantastic !
It's not fair : the first time a song is not available to some voters

nicolas

XIT - Someday 2.5 The Klezmorim - Fidl Volach 5 Fidl Volach is a real pleasure, klezmer with a touch of jazz (the doublebass, the theme/chorus sequence), and so fresh with a great melody and musicianship. XIT, well it's not my thing Bracket 2.3.6 Valerio Longoria - El Canoero 4.5 Rubén Blades - Pedr...

nicolas

Hey guys I'm envisaging changing the rules once again on the non US/UK - non anglophone quota. Until now, there has always been an Irish album/song in the "natural" top 15 (Sinnéad in 90, U2 in 91). In 92 it's very likely that there won't be any non UK-US anglophone album in the top 15. An...

Dylan

nicolas

But Honorio the Klezmorim song is on Spotify (check the link above), it's from a compilation called "The Soul of klezmer"

nicolas

So happy to see all these top 3 positions for Bone Machine (my #1)

nicolas

Bracket 2.3.5 The Klezmorim - Fidl Volach Is this the correct song nicolas? It is not exactly the same version, but it's the same melody. I'm not sure this sis the Klezmorim playing. The version I heve is livelier I think; So I suggest you post the link I gave you (in addition to the link to the vi...

Why on hell is there no crying smilie ?

the listening of Levon's last 2 studio albums, Dirt Farmer and Electric Dirt should be compulsory !!
he was an excellent singer, even though he'd had throat cancer

nicolas

you've said it all, Dr hon

nicolas

Thank you Dan, recording that song was great. I hope I'll find the time to play this week because I have a big translation job to do but I'll do my best

nicolas

Franco - Liberté 4.25 Geoffrey Oryema - Lapwony 4 Liberté is a long song but one that keeps on growing. "La musique des champions d'Afrique", as Franco says in the end. The Oryema song is good too, although I would have picked "Ye ye ye" from his 1st album. Bracket 1.3.6 Kenyan ...
