It's funny that fate (well, really your votes) confronted in the same match-up Alice Coltrane and Betty Davis, formerly wives of the two biggest names of Jazz music. Moreover when their approaches to music were so different, this is going to be the battle between spirituality and carnality. Who will win? Cast your vote and you will see...

7. DJ Shadow - The Private Press (2002) vs. 4. Faith No More - The Real Thing (1989)
6. UNKLE - Psyence Fiction (1998) vs. 5. Daft Punk - Alive 2007 (2007)
1. Odetta - At Carnegie Hall (1960) vs. 8. Lamb - Fear of Fours (1999)
3. Alice Coltrane - Journey in Satchidananda (1971) vs. 2. Betty Davis - Betty Davis (1973)

It's an odd week. I love the Davis, Odetta and Coltrane records and also enjoy Faith No More. I see the quality of the Daft Punk live record, but it goes on too long for my tastes. The other three though... Usually when we're in the third round all albums have wormed their way into my brain, but even now I hardly recall anything about The Private Press and Psyence Fiction, while I catch myself forgetting Fear of Fours. I don't dislike them really, but feel an inexplicable disconnect to them.
