kind of surprised switch's "this is sick" made it in, props, otherwisezzzzzzzzz
― fauxmarc, Monday, 23 April 2012 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
Hmm, definitely plenty of memories in that list, but it's amazing how dated most of them sound now, and I've heard them all far too many times.
'This is Sick' sounds pretty fresh I'll agree.
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 23 April 2012 20:41 (twelve years ago) link
"this is sick" - like most fidget house - wears on me badly these days
would have nominated his mix of the pack's "vans" if he had actually released it (not really but love that track)
― the late great, Monday, 23 April 2012 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
I would like to nominate the following and be laughed at by Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr thx
Adam Beyer - Ignition Key (Speedy J remix)$tinkworx - CoelacanthLuke Vibert - I Love AcidChasing Voices - AcidbathoryMotiivi: Tuntematon - Mankind Failed
(yeah this is a weird list but most things I thought of were already nominated so)

(shades of jae is actually from 1999)
this was the first of many tracks I wanted to nom only to check the original release date and be disappointed.
― Tim F, Monday, 23 April 2012 22:51 (twelve years ago) link
somebody - maybe pipecock or mike taylor / disco nihilist - once said that shades of jae was one of the only songs they'd ever seen where people would come running onto the dancefloor from other rooms when they'd hear it start up
believe that
― the late great, Monday, 23 April 2012 23:50 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah totally.
It helps of course that "hear it start up" is basically what the entire song feels like.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 00:29 (twelve years ago) link
uh, is there anything else in this genre that sounds like moodymann?
just listened to "shades of jae", "forevernevermore" and "j.a.n." and uh...

the joke is just that there is a ton of stuff that sounds/tries to sound like moodymann, and there is even someone who goes by the moniker moodymanc

thx for the kenny dixon tip
― THE KITTEN TYPE (contenderizer), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 03:45 (twelve years ago) link
Srsly though:
- firstly, check out Moodymann albums - A Silent Introduction and Black Mahogani being most key, then Mahogany Brown and Forevernevermore.
- Theo Parrish is not exactly like Moodymann but they're mentioned in the same breath for a reason; their styles complement one another. Get Parallel Dimensions first and foremost, then First Floor. For a third pic I would go with the Rotating Assembly album.
- Norma Jean Bell is a saxophonist/producer who worked a lot with Moodymann, and her album Come Into My Room is (to be reductionist) basically Moodymann with added sax.
- Andres is another Moodymann protege and his self-titled album is like a short, focused Moodymann album which I probably listen to more than any Moodymann other than ASI and BM.
- Trus'me is basically a Moodymann clone but that doesn't change the fact that his debut Working Nights is about on a level with ASI and BM (in my opinion).
― Tim F, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 03:59 (twelve years ago) link
Wow that's a huge statement (re: trusme). Dunno though, never got the urge to listen to it. I remember one ace track from it though
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 08:56 (twelve years ago) link
Make that behind ASI and BM, but ahead of FNM and MB (and other Moodymann albums).
― Tim F, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 09:37 (twelve years ago) link

Kenny Dixon is Moodymann it needs to be said.

Kavinsky - Nightcall
electro pop / synth pop, sorry..

also check this out, its like a detroit supergroup thing with kdj, theo parrish, rick wilhite, etc. surprisingly great and cohesive for how many people were working on it.

i agree that silentintroduction is the best
but i would rank mahogany brown as my second - its so murky, dusty and funky. i think it also has the widest emotional range and the most sui generis tracks
after that it's black mahogany and forevernevermore. i think silence in the secret garden is kinda weak

I love all of those! Except I have already nominated "As I" I think.

If the nomination deadline is April 30 when are ballots going to be due? I ask because I'll be travelling from April 30 to May 12 and want to earn my ivotedtoday.jpg
― EDB, Thursday, 26 April 2012 00:04 (twelve years ago) link
may 1st is the nomination deadline, definitely at least 2 weeks for the voting window if not longer
― the late great, Thursday, 26 April 2012 00:13 (twelve years ago) link
probably take us a week to narrow down the nominations list and let everyone debate about the knife and whatnot

― the late great, Thursday, 26 April 2012 04:23 (twelve years ago) link
thanks for all the moodyman recs, folks. silentintroduction is amazing, but i'm starting to think i need to track down the original 12" versions. a lot of the tracks i liked best when first exploring seem to be uncollected in their original form.
i'm sort of amazed that this dude isn't held up by mainstream music people as one of the greats of the last couple decades (in the way that like daft punk and radiohead are). these are some of the best sounds of any kind i've heard in a long, long while.
― THE KITTEN TYPE (contenderizer), Thursday, 26 April 2012 04:30 (twelve years ago) link
Excepting maybe Derrick May and Juan Atkins he's as heralded as it's possible to be for a dance producer who has never had any kind of populist success and doesn't actually hold any appeal from a pop/rock perspective.
― Tim F, Thursday, 26 April 2012 04:40 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i know. no hits, no mainstream visibility. still surprised, cuz this stuff seems very accessible to me.
― THE KITTEN TYPE (contenderizer), Thursday, 26 April 2012 04:48 (twelve years ago) link
tons of access points for curious newcomers: distinctive sound (even 10-20 years down the road), memorable compositions, emotionally direct & compelling music, lots of sonic variety, hard to pigeonhole, influential figure, interesting politics & personality, iconoclastic, fascinating human story
dude really needs & deserves a serious career overview. hell, i want one just for selfish reasons. maybe he doesn't want people to hear his music that way, i dunno...
― THE KITTEN TYPE (contenderizer), Thursday, 26 April 2012 05:02 (twelve years ago) link
this is going to be impossible and I dont think anyone will agree on the final results.

― seapunk run. run punk run! (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 26 April 2012 09:51 (twelve years ago) link
tho the longer i've thought about this, the more it feels like "pick your favourite atom" or something, because some essence of a track is only released by its combination in a set. this feels like an unnatural way (to me) of thinking about this music.
― seapunk run. run punk run! (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 26 April 2012 09:54 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah and for that reason I suspect it's going to skew towards big anthems but that was probably going to be the case anyway.
