It likely won't go too far in this tourney, but I'm stoked to be representing one of the finest instrumental roots LPs I've heard in a long, long time.
For those who don't usually dig music tagged with the 'r' word, don't be put off. There's some amazing horn work on this album - from Nat Birchall's sax (he's a prominent feature of the UK jazz scene, albeit unheralded) to Vin Gordon aka Don Drummond Jr's trombone work. And yeah, it'll appeal to those already converted to the church (Al Breadwinner's production and mixing, especially the dub reworks, are stellar) but I reckon ska and jazz heads might get a little out of this too. And yeah, it sounds like it could have come out in the 70s, but big deal. Meditative, spiritual, deep - and bloody terrific. _________________ 'Reggae' & t'ing Folk 'n Stuff SHAMELESS RECORD DEALER PLUG
Sounds Almighty is the only album I have previous knowledge of for this entire round, and it gets an easy vote from me. Didn't love it, but it's a solid record. Gave the Tima Ishet Svet record a spin on Soundcloud yesterday and it really wasn't my thing at all. I find a bit sporadic and sloppy. _________________ Doubles & Conch

Indeed. I'm probably the most reggae averse person ever to prowl these boards, and it didnt take long for me to decide I really dig this album.
Heck, if it came down to this album vs the one I nominated, I'd probably have to listen to them each a few times to be sure I even wanted to vote for my own nomination.
this was the easiest first-round vote i made. i mean that as no slight on tima ishet svet, but the brichall/breadwinner is quite masterful. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.
It was a bit difficult to find the Russian album and what I could find on Youtube wasn't too bad but I don't think it will exceed my view on that fantastic reggae/ska/dub/jjazz album from Birchall/Breadwinner which was maybe a bit too seventies but was very groovy. Many of the songs sounded the same but that's what it should be on an album: one mighty groove.
