guys come'on! you want them to win. you vote. you don't care. don't vote.
but we'd really appreciate it.
cheating would be the same person mailing from multiple addresses OR everyone at naim voting from their work email accounts!
but you guys picking the band you want to win. absolutely fine.
we don't often ask for favors!

and Robert Glasper, Phronesis and John McLaughlin. Some very tough competition and all those artists produced excellent albums.
Simon - I wish you and the boys luck.
why is that poor guy being punched in his least-wanted-to-be-punched-in-area? 
not going to vote because I don't want to vote against Naim or its artists, but Empirical is a bit to "easy listening elevator-music" for my taste.
maybe Naim will sign a hard rock band some day

Ooooh look mummy, flying pig.
Did I miss something have Floyd remastered Animals have they?
Well, I've voted. I discovered them through the Naim label and found their second album mesmerising.
Asking Naim not to do this would be a bit like saying political parties shouldn't knock on your door at a General Election.
(Oh, hang on there.....)

I found it more meandering than their first but if you want mesmerising, grab a copy of The Jazz Warriors last album 'Afropeans'. A bit of googling also reveals two members of Empirical (Jay Phelps and Nathaniel Facey) were part of the 15 man crew that played the live set the album was recorded from.
Brilliant stuff.
Congrats Simon and Empirical - the power of the Naim forum
