Yeah, I'm fine with December 1st. Might go ahead and listen to some of Hayden's picks right now, the chart looks fantastic as usual (even though I voted for Merc 🫢 both are sick tho).

Doubles & Conch is the winner, 4-3! I'll plan to kick off the thread on December 1 so we have a whole month to listen and discuss, but could also run it November 15 to December 15 if anyone prefers - just chime in.

Let’s go with a calendar month. It’s the simplest I would suggest. Thanks for pulling this together

Neat 😁 —
Hoping everyone enjoys this top ten as much as I do. Hopefully I can contribute some fun stuff to the thread as well.
Shame about Suffering being cut... I recall there being a version of it on Youtube just this summer, but I can't seem to find it anymore.
There are also links to downloadable copies, but... yeah, dunno—
(If you want to listen to a bonus 11th album, I can share a copy though PM, etc etc)
Haitian Dances is a staple though, and I'm all for it being the replacement.

Thought the difficult-to-find one would be Robert Rojer, but luckily that seems to be on Spotify—

& everyone knows Exuma, easily the most familiar on the board, but I'm glad it's in the mix—
