review of nominations and VOTING for (very nebulously defined) ELECTRONIC DANCE TRACKS of the 00s

that's too bad! how did that happen? neighborhood and 138 trek just HAVE to be there.

added those nominations etc

have got my longlist down to 120, don't think I'm going to manage to listen to everything in the next few days

is there an additions list for all the nominations that have been added since this thread started?

nope

RIP

Voted. Putting it together was a lot of fun, it reminded me of (a) how much I love lists and (b) how difficult I find it to make good ones.

TWO DAYS LEFT

Kassem Mosse Workshop 12 A1 is on the spreadsheet twice fwiw.

I'll get on mine. Just a little whittling to do.

Down to 80 now!

got a vote from mind take

COME ON YOU SLAGZZ

so. excited.

it's not going to be very exciting with only 11 votes

>:-(

I am going to attempt to onerous task of constructing a ballot from my hospital bed, just for you V.

I am def planning to vote.

i am whittlin' it down

:-(

feel better tim

Yeah, best wishes Tim. Be healthy.

Oh I'm going home tomorrow, no dramas, just saying that I'm on the case.

Okay, I've voted.

Ballot in. Left a bunch of stuff I nominated off, rediscovered the Luomo remix of Black Dice's "Smiling Off" and gave that some love instead - good fallback when DJing a mid-00s gallery opening.

I'm going to try and vote tonight but it's probably worth extending the deadline rather than running a poll with a tiny number of voters?

I have a shortlist of 80 now but I agree with extending the deadline because 1000+ nominations is so daunting.

Amazed potential high-placers LCD's Yeah and Katy B's On a Mission aren't in there but I guess I should have nominated them myself instead of kvetching now.

Get well soon Tim.

terrence parker - your love

is from 1996 btw

didnt see all the kdjs but j.a.n is 90s also

i think "yeah" is not electronic enough and "on a mission" is too pop for our participants

i would consider extending the deadline but i would want a roll call of who needs an extension, so that i know when to start counting ballots.

The thing with a theme like this, unlike a single-artist poll, is that there are so many factions - there are producers, labels, even genres I've ignored entirely and I'm sure that will be the case for a lot of voters, so you need a certain number of voters before any meaningful overlap will occur. I can see most of my tracks dying a lonely death if there are less than 20 ballots.

just sent in my ballot too.
at some point I had to stop splitting hairs between adjacent tunes out of the 50 and hope for approx current favour/ranking within around 10 spots, except for the all important Top 5/Top 10. loved hearing (relistening to) many of these tunes again!

this

i'll have one in within the next couple of hours. surprisingly happy with it. ps. midi rain 'always' was a biggish revival tune for ellen allien amongst others but is from like 1991.

I vote for extension

so do I

whatever i just scanned the list and made a shortlist of the ones i could hum (about 75) and then just got rid of the microhouse

ok here is something i am thinking - in the meantime, could we crowd-source the composer and label for each track?

then we could also tabulate top artists and top labels

For whatever it's worth, even though I'm a fan of Avalanches/Basement Jaxx/Daft Punk/The Knife/LCD Soundsystem, I'm probably gonna leave that stuff off.

sent

:_D

yes.

I've got swept up in a lot of stuff this week I didn't count on. I can still dash one off but it won't be as considered as I'd like. So yes, an extension if at all possible.

extension would be great

Working on my ballet now

plie-se extend

Gonna hit the original deadline I think (a bit of a rarity for me in all aspects of life!)

Inflation really stands up I think, what an atmosphere that track has, it's very, ahem, cough, cinematic.

some how i never noticed this until now. but no 'love story'? pffft.

Working on my ballet now

Ahhh, I knew I should have nominated something from Shut Up and Dance!
