I'd say Kraftwerk would win it on account of them never winning this award before, but Bonobo deserves it.

My pick would be Sylvan Esso. That album is great.
I couldn't tell you about a single moment on Migration after listening to it twice through.

Is it a new Kraftwerk album? Or another best of?

Hmmmm. I'm not sure I agree with a compilation being nominated. I mean, sure, Singles 93-03 is all gold but it was a collection of previously released (for the most part) material.

I've just seen that it's a live album, which is a little different, but it's also 8 discs!!! I mean, sure, if the prize is for the most content. And chances are with 69 tracks, you're likely to have 'an albums worth' of good stuff on it. But I still don't see it being a fair contender.

I'm not nocking Kraftwerk. Tour De France is a big favourite of mine. But THAT should have been nominated back in 2003.

In my humble opinion.

^ IMO, them receiving this award would be the equivalent of them receiving a lifetime achievement Grammy. Which would be appropriate, but they literally won one 3 years ago, which is why I kinda don't see it happening.

Correct. Winner.

And Tonite by LCD Soundsystem won Best Dance recording.
