Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 12 - Round 4.2
3. Astor Piazzolla and the New Tango Quintet - Tango: Zero Hour (1986) vs. 6. John Coltrane - Ascension (1966)
Two albums from maybe the best musicians on their respective instruments, bandoneon and saxophone. Tango wins jazz this time.
4. Fela Kuti - Expensive Shit (1975) vs. 5. Neil Young - Time Fades Away (1973)
Young's first installment of the "ditch trilogy" loses by a hair against an album from Fela's mid 70s golden period. Black president.
7. The Feminine Complex - Livin' Love (1969) vs. 2. Nils Frahm - Spaces (2013)
The Feminine Complex has been the discovery of the game but Nils Frahm's album, mixing ambient and modern classical, is great.
8. Bubu - Anabelas (1978) vs. 1. Leyla McCalla - A Day for the Hunter, a Day for the Prey (2016)
Bubu's brand of prog-rock is highly remarkable but I love McCalla's second album, a tasty menu with Cajun and Haitian flavours.
Argentina (twice!), USA, Nigeria, Canada, Germany, Haiti. Love this forum!
