I will vote Astor Piazzola and Jackson C Frank now.

I am on vacation without access to my notes so will try to remember to vote in the other two when I get home.

1. Astor Piazzolla - Tango: Zero Hour vs. 5. OutKast - ATLiens
In the first round I said Tango: Zero Hour would be a good winner. Now that I have heard everything and all my nominations are gone I fully stand by this album.

3. Richard Dawson - 2020 vs. 2. Jackson C. Frank - Jackson C. Frank
An interesting match-up of English folk in its most traditional and non-traditional forms.

8. The Marcels - Blue Moon vs. 7. The Feminine Complex - Livin' Love
Two rather weak albums for a round 2 matchup.

4. Woods - City Sun Eater in the River of Light vs. 6. März - Love Streams
Oh, I wrote something with each match-up, so I probably should do so here too. Go Woods!
