NOMINATIONS THREAD for ILM's Alltime Best Techno/Electronic/Ambient/etc TRACKS poll (nominations end 9/30/10 11:59 PDT)

Gonna do a top 300 for this (and for albums), aiming for a November rollout. This thread is for both nominations and VETOING, since there is some "controversy" here and there over certain acts. for example, there are some people debating the krautrock question w/r/t stuff like cluster, kraftwerk, etc (pretty obvious to me that bands like can and guru guru are out.) i'll go with the consensus on what should be disallowed for the purposes of this poll.

there is no limit on nominations so have at it.

This is going to be an impossible poll. Should've been divided by genres or eras but I'll play.

Air - Le Soleil est pres de moi
Alan Braxe & Fred Falke - Rubicon

Aphex Twin - Windowlicker

Shed - Estrange
St. Germain – Rose Rouge
Vitalic – Poney, Part 1

Manuel Gottsching - E2-E4

I think a distinction should probably be made between electronic dance music (including IDM, etc.) and non dance stuff.
I mean, trying to rank stuff that encompasses LaMonte Young, Squarepusher, Brian Eno, and Ricardo Villalobos is kind of silly, no?

Either way:

Carl Craig - The Climax
Plastikman - Ethnik
Soul Capsule - Law of Grace
Akufen - Skidoos

Giorgio Moroder - From Here To Eternity

I'll add some ambient nom nom noms:

Gas - track 5 (off of Konigsforst) (<Gas is f'd in this poll because of lack of track names!)
Stars of the Lid - Requiem for Dying Mothers (Part 1 & 2) (<could be split into two nominations because they're technically 2 separate, I guess, but it's really one piece of music)
Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country
A Silver Mt. Zion - 13 Angels Standing Guard 'Round the Side of Your Bed
Seefeel - Climactic Phase 3

And while were on it:

Donna Summer - I Feel Love

A Silver Mt. Zion - 13 Angels Standing Guard 'Round the Side of Your Bed

I like representing Gas, Stars of the Lid and Seefeel as noone had mentioned them so far but saying ASMZ is electronica is a bit of a stretch imho

Does industrial count?

e*vax - neon & aluminum
I, Cactus - China Shipping Co.
Komputer - Valentina
Kraftwerk - Computer World
Kraftwerk - Neon Lights

Every song by every 8-bit peoples artist ever.

I mean, trying to rank stuff that encompasses LaMonte Young, Squarepusher, Brian Eno, and Ricardo Villalobos is kind of silly, no?

it's overwhelming, but it is kind of interesting. i personally associate all this music anyway, so i like having a poll that includes all of it. for this poll i've drawn the line at stuff that is pop/vocal or has guitars (e.g. ASMZ?).

Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Daft Punk - Robot Rock
Daft Punk - Technologic

Disco Inferno - Love Stepping Out
Ladytron - Seventeen
New Order - Temptation
Silver Apples - Oscillations
Suicide - Cheree

yellow magic orchestra - rydeen

Does industrial count?

also,

Kavinsky - 1986
Kavinsky - Nightcall
Kavinksy - Pacific Coast Highway
Kavinsky - Testarossa Overdrive

Venetian Snares - A Giant Alien Force More Violent & Sick Than Anything You Can Imagine

no no, this is the poll for all time best

hah

ASMZ is electronica is a bit of a stretch imho

I agree, which is why I'd definitely say that song is an ambient song! I dunno, I figured someone might object to that one, given the rest of the band's output, but to me this is an ambient song, and a very good one at that:

isolee - beau mot plage
ame - rej
ricardo villalobos - fizheuer zieheuer
mouse on mars - twift
secede - vega libre

"I feel love" - Donna Summer

don't think we can't see what you're doing here

Anything wrong with that?

Oh no no no no, even I have my limits and Radiohead are a Rock Band (tm) and do not belong on this poll. Get thee hence.

Yeah I was unsure about that. Those tracks are completely electronic, but I won't be upset if they're vetoed.

Heh no xp, it's just curious how The Fugees slip in between L and M. It's going to be one mammoth nominations list by the time everyone's done though.

Vic Reeves - Oh! Mr...Songwriter (Willy Nilly mix)

Cybotron - Clear
Michael Mayer - Amanda
Alexander Robotnick - Problèmes d'amour
Charlemagne Palestine - Strumming Music
Gas - Pop (Untitled 4) (the first one with a 4/4 kick)
Cluster - Fotschi Tong
Jurgen Paape - So Weit Wie Noch Nie

And that's all I've got for now. Also, (if my say has any clout) I happily issue my veto for all Radiohead. They don't need to ruin the poll for the rest of these awesome dedicated electronic musicians.

Charlemagne Palestine - Strumming Music

This is some of the most amazing music in all the world but surely it's not allowed?

when's the deadline for nominations?

Virgo - My Space
Ricardo Villalobos - Enfants

This is some of the most amazing music in all the world but surely it's not allowed?

Hmm, perhaps you're right. I just thought I would throw it in because it is one of my favorite Ambient pieces. However, if the poll is restricted to electronic ambient, rather than ambient of all sorts (which is fine by me) then forget about it, no problem.

I think I'll retract my Radiohead nominations as well to avoid problems.

As much as I love Human League and Pet Shop Boys, that stuff doesn't belong in a techno/electronic/ambient poll. Unlike 99% of the other stuff here, it's pop music with synths -- not techno/electronic/ambient.

Taking out Radiohead is a good move as well.

Hmm, perhaps you're right. I just thought I would throw it in because it is one of my favorite Ambient pieces. However, if the poll is restricted to electronic ambient, rather than ambient of all sorts (which is fine by me) then forget about it, no problem.

Yeah I mean - I'm happy for this stuff to be here obviously! My ballot will be 60% this kind of stuff if it's allowed to be! I just think it's further in both lineage and sound from the platonic 'electronic' track than, say, Everything In Its Right Place.

LCD Soundsystem - 45:33
New Order - Confusion
Bomb The Bass - Beat Dis
Matias Aguayo - Minimal
The Source - You Got The Love
Hercules & Love Affair - Blind (Frankie Knuckles mix)
House of House - Rushing To Paradise (Walkin' These Streets)
Spiller - Groovejet
Coburn - We Interrupt This Program
Etienne de Crecy - Am I Wrong?

As much as I love Human League and Pet Shop Boys, that stuff doesn't belong in a techno/electronic/ambient poll. Unlike 99% of the other stuff here, it's pop music with synths -- not techno/electronic/ambient.

I was really looking forward to this poll, but if the Human League, one of the key groups in popularising electronic music and the single act who changed my outlook on music more than any other are vetoed then fuck it I'm out of here.

idk i feel like i appreciate song-based electronic pop like the human league with a completely different part of my brain than tracky house/techno stuff - same with uk garage - to the extent that it makes it impossible to actually assess them alongside each other, so yeah i'd veto all of that

The Human League are first and foremost a pop band.

LA Style - James Brown is Dead

Lords of Acid - I Sit on Acid

idk i feel like i appreciate song-based electronic pop like the human league with a completely different part of my brain than tracky house/techno stuff

But it isn't a house/techno poll. It's a techno/electronic/ambient/etc poll.

Blanket negging Pet Shop Boys kind of ignores a gigantic swath of their career...? (of course it's likely no one is nominating the Nightlife singles or any of their remixes but it seems kind of revisionist be all "they were a pop group" in the face of stuff like "We All Feel Better In The Dark" and "It's Alright" and "Paninaro" and etc etc

Dunno, this is billed as a techno/electronic/ambient poll, not a synth-pop/house/disco/remixes poll.

Not to be pedantic it's a techno/electronic/ambient/etc poll. As far as I'm concerned electronic music's a broad church which includes horrible pop stuff as well as idm, techno etc.

Not sure it was intended to open the door to every pop song that uses a synthesizer...

Not sure it was intended to open the door to every pop song that uses a synthesizer...

I wouldn't say that, but I would say that the Human League and Pet Shop Boys are important enough in the history of electronic pop music to be included. If we're excising all electronic pop simply because it is pop, then this should have been made clear at the outset, and the parameters more strictly defined.

i assume "electronic" isn't actually meant to be taken in its broadest sense, otherwise let's just throw open the doors to every digitally-produced song ever?

no-one ever suggested that. but the pet shop boys make music with electronic instruments ergo it's electronic music. we are, basically, speaking of a methodology here, not an aesthetic.

Cool, I'll nominate some random shit w/ synthesizers, too:

The Who - Baba O'Riley
Van Halen - Jump
Rush - Tom Sawyer
Europe - The Final Countdown
Muse - Bliss
Pink Floyd - Eclipse
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill
Sarah Brightman and Steve Harley - The Phantom of the Opera
A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran
Kool and the Gang - Summer Madness
Duran Duran - Hungry like the Wolf
Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Lucky Man
Cameo - Word Up
Passion Pit - Sleepyhead
Owl City - Fireflies

OH HOW COULD I FORGET

Owl City - Vanilla Twilight

man you're a fast typer.

xp great trolling, A+

All I'm really saying is that PSB have done enough house-y and techno-y songs that blanket dismissing them seems wrong.

Having said that, I'd never nominate "Love Comes Quickly" not because I don't love it, but because it doesn't seem to fit what the poll is talking about.

I still go by my drum machine/acoustic drums dichotomy.

If it's got a drum machine on it, it's allowed.
Acoustic drums, it's not.

(A human playing electronic drum pads is admitted only if no acoustic drums are used.)

wait, does that mean I get no nominate songs off of Invisible Touch

No, because there's guitars on that.

There are guitars on The Campfire Headphase, so does that mean I don't get to nominate "Chromakey Dreamcoat"?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4rvvxqT6WE

also, do I not get to nominate Eskimos And Egypt's "Welcome to the Future" or any Digital Hardcore Recordings artists?

Or TC 1992's "Funky Guitar"?

I'm still afraid of the Campfire Headphase.

Guitar samples are ok maybe?

I'm guilty of nomming some Italo/synthpop stuff above (on the basis that similar had already been posted), I don't mind retracting them if they're outside whatever boundaries get decided on...But purging everything that's a "pop song" will end up dumping Kraftwerk and the Vengaboys (among others)!

An alternative would be to accept whatever people suggest but ask voters to take into account whether a track falls into their personal "techno/electronic/ambient/etc" canon - the purist vote will make sure that Human League or whoever don't dominate but there will be a sprinkling of pop classics in there with the bobbins and bangers.

A sample of a guitar is alright if you are using a drum machine. But live guitars *and* acoustic drums = rock and I'm not having it. ;-)

autechre - arch carrier
autechre - v-proc
underworld - moaner
vitalic - la rock 01

no guitars so no dirty epic by underworld then?

plus nine inch nails and other industrial acts have tons of tracks with no guitars but has drum machine

lionrock are fucked too then, plus a whole host of mid 90s dance for using a guitar.

btw I am formally nominating

TC 1992 - Funky Guitar
Boards of Canada - Chromakey Dreamcoat

Half serious: we could vote first on whether each nominee fits under the intended techno/electronic/ambient/etc umbrella (yes/no/idk per nominee). Tracks with more yes than no votes would go through to the final ballot. This would surely lead to lots of pissed off ILXors and entertaining internet arguments!

autechre - vletrmx

Well either we have an artificial boundary that everyone hates or we have a free-for-all that everyone hates.

xp to PiSC - that's kind of like what I was suggesting, except I proposed folding elegibility into the overall voting. Borderline tracks would fall down the ranking because fewer people would consider voting for them.

i say let gear decide, it's his poll. He decides we all abide by it.

let geir decide.

xp But I don't think votes should have two orthogonal meanings. If track X gets more votes than track Y, it's not going to be very satisfying to be left wondering if more voters like track X or if more voters think track Y was a bad fit for the poll...

LOL yes, let Geir decide!

also nominating

Sven Vaeth - An Accident In Paradise
Enigma - The Principles of Lust
A Split Second - Flesh
The Shamen - You and Me and Everything

Oh, I forgot to add my Altern8 choices

Altern8 - Infiltrate 202 & E-vapor-8

Can I add things like
C&C Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat
Snap!- I Got The Power
Black Box - Everybody Everybody

...or am I gonna get laughed off the thread for that?

Those are good, I'm googling now to make sure the guitars on "I Got the Power" are sampled.

btw can someone who isn't about to leave work make sure all of the tracks from The Joint are nominated because they all really should be

The "I Got The Power" guitars are pretty much the definition of sampled guitars. Ha ha. In fact, didn't they just sample a singer and stick a model in the video? Or was that Black Box?

Let's be fair and admit 'Being boiled' is closer to modern electronic genres than to pop or rock. If we're going to veto this one we might as well veto kraftwerk.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRC9K7iLUAw

Love action on the other hand... well, yes that one is perhaps closer to synth-pop.

Where does Gary Numan fit into this debate?

What I'd really like to know is where does Xenakis and Stockhausen fit into this debate?

Yes to "Being Boiled" which slots nicely alongside Cabaret Voltaire, The Normal, Kraftwerk, etc.

No to "Love Action" even though it's an incredible song.

I say a yay on Xenakis and Stockhausen because they probably won't make it into the top 100 anyway (but deserve to).

Come to think off it they'd probably fare better on the ALBUMS poll though... I also doubt they have a chance at breaking the top 100 but still...

oh boy

Oni Ayhun - OAR-003B

thread totally incomplete

sorta convinced this was a trolly exercise?

oh look it's mr techno expert deej

?? ive never claimed to be a 'techno expert' altho i prob know a lot more stuff (altho more chi house related) than u realize, its just that this is a huge gigantic genre & i dunno a "ROCK MUSIC" nominations poll would seem equally daunting 2 me. i mean, we have fukkin four tet nominated and no one yet mentioned the percolator

when i think classics of 'techno electronic ambient' i think of max tundra but not any derrick may!!

but w/e have your fun

"thanks, democracy!" - DA HOOL

that's supposed to be a quote, not a nom

the agony of bungled zings

tbh i am w/ deej on this, reading the nominations so far has really dampened my enthusiasm for the thing

basically my issue is the pointless eclecticism

like maybe if we had a conversation about how "the bells" stacks up to "the percolator" or source direct to photek or "mushrooms" vs "in the trees" or whatever we'd be able to do some meaningful inquiry, get at what makes a genre tick and dissect it's conventions and values

fuck, we could even indulge ilm's pathetic boner for poptimism and do "energy flash" vs "sandstorms"

but instead we're descending into the dank anus of record-collector nerdery, and in the end we're going to get kluster next to kompakt next to kenny dixon jr and we'll pat ourselves on the back at a list only slightly less lame than the one in "losing my edge"

lol'n p hard @ "meaningful inquiry"

can't we do this after the poll?

i would like to point out that the notion of an ilm poll results thread ending with every clapping each other on the back and saying, "good show, everyone" is pure fantasy considering poll results threads have likely led to destroyed friendships, uncalled-for epithets, and murders yet to be solved.

hey i found a shortcut:

http://www.discogs.com/advanced_search?genre=electronic&btn=Search+Releases

only 58,301 pages to scroll through.

We just need someone's dog to keep us focused on what's true and what's false.

sorry deej i was just playing

as i said in the other thread, considering how popular these nomination threads have been how come the rolling dance threads and related are such barren waste lands lately? is it just a sad fact of ilm that mindless listing and cataloguing is always gonna win out over actual meaningful discussion? i guess i know the answer to that but still, surely it's just as much effort to make these polls (which for the record i've never participated in and don't intend to) and vote in them as it is to i dunno post in the techno/house of the past thread about the hi hats in "forever monna" or whatever?

i don't want to spoil ya'lls fun anyway, i'm just honestly interested as to why so few of the dance music experts in this thread don't express their love of the music elsewhere

Me, personally? Because a couple of years ago, when I first turned up on dance threads asking questions that were taken to be stupid, I was told by a couple of the denizens within "OMG, if *she* starts getting into dance music, I'm getting out of it" - which can kind of put you off a bit.

Also because a lot of the things I'm interested in tend to be historically focused rather than sifting through the sea of newness to find stuff I'd like. With regards to new stuff, I'd rather read people who know their stuff than me shooting my mouth off and probably being told I'm wrong. I read the general thread, I certainly listen to the YouTubes but I don't think I have the knowledge to go much further unless a very specific thing is being discussed.

My presence here is v. dilettantish - I'm far from an expert on dance and my electronic tastes are to a large extent offshoots of my love for disco and Krautrock. I can talk Italo/early house/IDM/Hyperdub/beardo ok but I had never heard The Percolator until deej's rant above.

I agree there's a lower barrier to entry on a poll thread than on a Rolling Dance one, which probably works well for outsiders like me who come to learn and annoys insiders who are capable of arguing about hi hats and coffee pots. Depending on how this all works out I may or may not vote in the poll, it's not so important to me. In the metal poll (also characterised by subgenre territorialism and true/false oppositions) I didn't feel qualified to nominate or vote but I enjoyed the results rundown a great deal, heard a lot of new music and came away feeling I'd learned something. I'm hoping for similar outcomes here.

I'm kinda like Kate: these days I don't really follow new trends in dance/electronic music quite as actively as I did in the 90s, so I don't feel like I have much to contribute to the on-going "bobbins" threads. As for the "bobbins of the past" thread, it seems to be focused mostly on the sort of stuff I'm not very familiar with. My biggest love in electronic music is (pretty much) German non-minimal techno/house/dance of the 90s, but that isn't discussed much on ILM. I even started a thread about it, but it wasn't a success:

A Youtube/discussion thread for non-minimal German techno/rave/house/trance of the 90s (and beyond)

pretty much what Seandalai said, though my areas of semi-expertise are different. Looking forward to seeing how the chips fall, arbitrarily as they may.

lolling that ppl are bitching about "The Percolator" not being nominated while failing to nominate it

PS, I nominate:

Cajmere - The Percolator

like, obviously the way to solve the problem of the wrong songs being nominated is to NOMINATE THE SONGS YOU THINK ARE THE RIGHT ONES, otherwise you're just being a dick

I suspect this will be waaay more divisive than the metal poll. What ever your preferred metal sub-genre, there's still a sense of everyone pulling in the same direction for a common cause and aesthetic. Not so with dance, inter-scene rivally can be very fucking snarky. Part of the fun I guess.

happy hardcore = the hair metal of electronic?

nah, but only because I like happy hardcore

I hate both :)

I'm not an expert in any sense, but I enjoy the genre (the poppy end, as with just about every other genre basically) and hope the tracks rundown will be a great way to hear more good stuff. No interest in debating hi-hats*, thanks. And it's hardly mindless listing - the rundown threads are great, whenever an actual discussion manages to break out among the bitching.

I'm also aware that the more people pitch in, the better any poll is going to be - so here I am.

* not actually true

If only a band existed that combined the two.

xpost

Rotterdam Termination Source - Poing

what a scary thought
xp

kind of lolling that in the midst of "let's combine hair metal with happy hardcore" I xposted a nomination for a gabba track

somebody somewhere will mix emo ,crabcore,hair metal and happy hardcore.

Rotterdam Termination Source - Poing

I already nominated this!

Also, I wish this had been called a dance music poll. Because I'm getting quite irate that most of the electronic music I love doesn't seem to be eligible any more (I mean, are people going to be mad if I nominate Raymond Scott and Louis & Bebe Barron? WTF?)

I foresee a splinter "electronic music you can't dance to" poll, to complement the "dance music with live drums" one.

dont forget the "dance music with guitars" poll

aka "The Klaxons poll"?

I had a vague idea for one poll for floorfillers/bangers and another for ambient/downbeat/weird shit, but could in no way be arsed.

i cant wait for all the butthurt "i thought this poll was going to be great but nothing i like has made the list" posts.

yeah this should make the metal poll look like a total love-in

which is AS IT SHOULD BE, of course

Sparks - The Number One Song in Heaven

Veto... sorry.

maybe everyone should drop an e whilst the results are rolled out.
xp

I would hope there would be less fighting on this polls results thread than the metal poll, but i'm really not so sure now. I hope gear has the patience of a saint!

I thought the metal poll was reasonably good-natured!

did you read it all?????

Er... Not absolutely everything.

at times dan wondered why he was reading it.

Seriously it was like full blown warfare at times.

the most bad tempered poll i've ever seen.

Not to mention Louis' interventions. And Bill Magill's despair.

Come to think of it I mainly just scrolled through to each results.

each result.

I hope gear knows what he's let himself in for, as he probably will never want to run a poll again if the same happens here.

I would hope there would be less fighting on this polls results thread than the metal poll

Death to false Techno/Electronic/Ambient/etc

I hope Finntroll places #1 in the electronic poll AND the metal poll, now that would be awesome.

oh it went far beyond that!

that dude in the picture probably works in a bank

where he posts on a forum and totally rips some new assholes when it comes to the topic of metal

What we really need is some big sweaty meathead bouncer and a skinny fashionable gay dude with a clipboard going "you're not coming in THIS poll dressed like that!"

I doubt he would be fighting over the lack of hair metal in an ilm metal poll somehow.

xp

Excuse me, are YOU on the list? No, I don't think you are. You're not on the list, you're not coming in this thrad. OUT OF THIS THREAD. BOUNCERS!

You're not coming in here, you're wearing trainers.

You on anything tonight sir? No? Take off your shoes please. What's this then mate?

i post on the techno/house bobbins every once in a while; not too interested in most of whats on the dance partisans thread. i'm not really expert enough to participate in most of the threads about older stuff, though i really enjoy them.

i for one am bummed you won't be participating in the poll b/c i'd love to see what your list looks like.

I cant help but feel this will turn out into a pop vs bobbins fight

Mary Poppins vs Sherry Bobbins

This poll is going to be terrific, I'm going to have to think hard about nominations though.

I am going to laugh really hard when "Mr Vain" wins

I think you may be sort of right. People's taste is so fragmented that inconsequential dance-pop numbers that everyone quite likes will probably do really well.

which is why i plan on not voting for stuff i arbitrarily deem "too pop"

I thought we agreed that Sandstorm would win?

I prefer the Fake Blood remix...

whoops, sorry, wrong forum.

M83 - Run Into Flowers (Midnight Fuck Remix by Jackson)
Leftfield - Melt
Plastikman - Spastik

Kraftwerk - Autobahn

which is why i plan on not voting for stuff i arbitrarily deem "too pop"

most wont.

Sparks - The Number One Song in Heaven

Veto... sorry.

If you veto this, then you should veto pretty much every disco tune in the nominations, including "I Feel Love". "Number One" is no less electronic than "I Feel Love": they both have real drums, vocals, and a bunch of synths.

I have no problem with excluding disco from this poll (if we want to focus on house/techno and what came after them), but it should be all or nothing then.

i'm okay with this personally

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc_x2-rCFWI

it's kinda like how i think certain EBTG tracks would be appropriate for this poll but not their early work. i mean i'm willing to generally be flexible w/r/t parameters. i mean i'm not 100% certain that funkadelic is "metal" except in a chuck eddy book but that placed in the metal poll.

just wait til LJ comes in here and nominates dubstar tracks

Btw, I like every single tune I've nominated so far.

(xx-post)

i dont doubt that (dont let dan kid you that he doesnt like them either)

I think all my favourite Eurodance tunes have now been nominated, so I'll stop too.

How about your favourite Nu-Rave tunes?

I am, at the very least, fond of every track I've posted

"Dreamer" by Livin' Joy was pushing it tho

M People - Moving On Up
M People - One Night in Heaven
M People - Renaissance

(Fuck anyone who thinks M People were too MOR or something, these are some timeless classics!)

ok thats even worse than shitty eurodance

Happy Mondays - Hallelujah

and are 'Playing With Knives' and 'I'm Gonna Get You' different tracks? I thought they were different parts of the same song! The rollerskating girl in the video was a brief fixation of mine.

They're different tunes. "I'm Gonna Get You" is the one that goes "why waste your time, you know you're gonna be mine". "Knives" doesn't have any singing except some vocal samples, IIRC.

^^^

also both are brilliant

has any new order been nominated yet?

haha, best nominations thread ever <3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw1vd9o1uM0&feature=related

the best music

Blue Monday has I think.

xpost

I nominated 'Confusion', though aiui everyone else hates it

ah there's just too many, this is ludicrous

I nominated 'Confusion', though aiui everyone else hates it

wha-? that's not true at all

also:

New Order - Fine Time

so many tracks http://209.85.117.197/12413/88/0/e25948//e25948.gif

K-Klass - Let Me Show You
A Homeboy, a Hippie & a Funki Dredd - Total Confusion
A Homeboy, a Hippie & a Funki Dredd - Here We Go Again

better to have too many than the usual suspects going "there's no xxx by xxx and i wanted to vote for that"

Dawn Penn & Bounty Killer - You Don't Love Me (Reel 2 Reel Junglist Mix)
M Beat feat. General Levy - Incredible
Barrington Levy & Beenie Man - Under Me Sensi (X Project Remix)
Leviticus - Burial (Lovers Rock Mix)

I think we need a recap of all nominations so far.

ah there's just too many, this is ludicrous

On the other hand people manage to compile polls where every record ever released is eligible, so it's not likely to be that big a deal.

No idea how to whittle this lot down to an actual ballot though.

OTM. I've been listening to electronic/dance music for almost 20 years now, and it's pretty much my favourite type of music in the history of music, so choosing 20 or 40 tracks for a ballot feel impossible.

ask gear to allow a ballot of 100 then

can i veto the xx before dan nominates them? ;)

hey i don't post on those either!

Ronan is it the fact that the noms list is too large or the fact that it would be impossible to make a top list?

i just don't know where i'd start with a list really....it's too broad for me, i think there must be a few hundred tracks i love. also it's that thing of the more you're into something the more difficult it is to make lists about it.

it was hard doing the metal list, and this one wont be any easier.

your shortlist will be several hundred tracks/albums

This'll be harder than the metal for me. I know more dance music.

xactly

More nominations:

µ-ziq - Roy Castle
Boards of Canada - Telephasic Workshop
Mylo vs. Miami Sound Machine - Doctor Pressure (Dirty Club Mix)
Tyree feat. Kool Rock Steady - Turn Up the Bass (Scratch It Up Mix)
Caunos - Herzsprung 1

Op:l Bastards - Scorpius
DJ Tamsin & The Monk - A Better Place (DJ Crystl Remix)
Robert Armani - Hit Hard
Second Phase - Mentasm
Isolée - Beau Mot Plage (Freeform Reform Parts I & II)

I hope remixes are treated as separate entities in this poll, since they are such an essential part of dance music. For example, I'd definitely vote for the "Beau Mot Plage" remix nommed above, but I'm not sure if I'd include the original in my ballot at all. The same goes for the DJ Crystl remix of "A Better Place", and many others.

Justice vs Simian - We Are Your Friends
Frankie Knuckles - Your Love

LCD Soundsystem - Losing My Edge

I hope remixes are treated as separate entities in this poll, since they are such an essential part of dance music.

Cosign.

I've got a feeling this is going to end up with 200 records tied for 50th place though.

i'm assuming that r&b/hip-hop/ukg is vetoed? i mean going by some people's interpretation of "electronic" they're all eligible but just cuz i love them doesn't mean i want them involved in this poll

black leotard front - casual friday
martin buttrich - full clip
lawrence - along the wire (superpitcher mix)
dntel - this is thedream of evan and chan (superpitcher mix)
rekid - next stop chicago
theo parrish - falling up (carl craig remix)
superpitcher - heroin

lex, do you really want to vote for rap tracks in this poll?

i don't, no! i don't think "electronic" should actually encompass every kind of electronic production in popular music, otherwise what's the point of having this specific poll?

UKG is the only one of those that's up for debate really.

With apologies to the techno purists out there, there's not enough trance in the noms list, and this one in particular is just a spectacularly well made track:

deadmau5 - strobe

Tracey Thorn - Grand Canyon

Pet Shop Boys - Young offender (Jam and Spoon Trip-o-matic Fairy tale mix)

A Guy Called Gerald - Emotion Electric

Kris Menace & Spooky - Stereophonic

DJ Food - ...The Crow

So, when do we get to vote?

Is there a voting thread for this yet?

Don't think so.

Don't want to pressure or anything, but it'd be nice to see this poll happening...
