i am gonna set an arbitrary deadline at 50 ballots
"50 ballotz stands for 1 ballot from every state of the USA, all them ballotz would be stronger than every weapon, if they would be united - THUG LIFE"

― Jibe, Monday, 4 June 2012 17:19 (eleven years ago) link

they'll also be the ones that get most votes (mouth to mouth, orbitalife) - records that really blow up and then disappear, it isn't because they're no good its because they tend to dominate, and then disrupt the flow of a set once they get heard a lot
Both of these records are too recent though - you need about a 10yr period of grace before they start to reappear. FWIW I don't think either of these records are that great, nor will they appear particularly high up the poll (Mouth to Mouth might place somewhere, I doubt many ppl care that much about Orbitalife at this stage in the game).

i have 34 ballots at this point ... we're going to next sunday (one week extension) goal is 50 posts
"mouth to mouth" is placing pretty high on my ballot i think
― the late great, Monday, 4 June 2012 20:25 (eleven years ago) link
though i prefer "mund zu mund" these days
mund zu mund is totally the superior, but tragically overlooked, younger sibling.
I figure there's also a bunch of sometime ILM posters who are authorities on the subject and whose contributions would be invaluable (e.g. d.l3one p.sh3rburne) but probably don't know this poll exists.
― Hennesy Williams (EDB), Monday, 4 June 2012 21:04 (eleven years ago) link
we gotta pound the pavement a bit, webmail the usual suspects
OTOH if they were interested in ILM you'd think they'd have seen it buy now
― the late great, Monday, 4 June 2012 21:06 (eleven years ago) link
but they are records that disappear is the point....not when they reappear, but the fact that they disappear
many votes on chart will be based on memories, mouth to mouth will place highly
― coal, Monday, 4 June 2012 21:55 (eleven years ago) link
prefer i speak for some of that
― coal, Monday, 4 June 2012 21:57 (eleven years ago) link
whereas a record like fifth element prob never got overplayed in same way and never really dropped away often hear that played out
― coal, Monday, 4 June 2012 21:58 (eleven years ago) link
I don't know why I'm the only one having trouble making sense of this:
over 1000 nominations
50 votes each
So in one ballot we should include as many nominations as we want (up to 1000)? And then we choose our top 50 from all of the nominations from everyone? Sorry for being dense.
― viborg, Monday, 4 June 2012 23:49 (eleven years ago) link
we already nominated, just pick your 50 favorites and rank them
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Tuesday, 5 June 2012 00:41 (eleven years ago) link
Pretty skimpy list :(
There are no entries matching high contrast
My fault for missing the nominations of course.

what if I ask pipecock to vote? I talk to him now and then.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Tuesday, 5 June 2012 05:13 (eleven years ago) link
think we can do without that, tbh

pipecock would have nominated some good records
― coal, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 06:20 (eleven years ago) link
tell him to send a ballot down the pipe

Who was Pipecock again? I remember the name being mentioned a few years ago, but I've no idea why his opinion is so important?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 06:41 (eleven years ago) link
He's a resident advisor writer, blogger and DJ who is known for his strong support of American artists and labels like Omar S, Jus Ed, FXHE and Underground quality. He was always the nicest poster and was banned for an argument with Local Garda that got a little too personal.

Wasn't always, man I'm bad with the typoes lately.
― Josiah Alan, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 06:56 (eleven years ago) link
A lot of the music Pipecock rates is great, but his Internet persona really grates as he seems to instinctively dismiss a lot of music because it doesn't fit into his rules. He's probably popped up on all forums at some point, posted for a while, got into a fight with some regulars and then left.
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 09:22 (eleven years ago) link
in short, he's a purist of the highest order.

is it too late to vote

nope.

So you have until Sunday Late Great's time. Don't know that means in Hawaii-land.
only 3 hours difference (2 in the winter)
― ♆ (gr8080), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 05:51 (eleven years ago) link
I have no right to complain, as I didn't take part in the nominating process, BUT, why the f*ck isn't this track on the list?:Luomo - "Synkro"
― azaera, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 06:35 (eleven years ago) link
cause it sucks
― the late great, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 07:17 (eleven years ago) link
no seriously though i think maybe because it came out way back in 2000 people forgot about it
how about for the next poll we let it sneak by w/ any other 2000 tracks, it'll be 1988-2000 and 2000-2012
― the late great, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 07:20 (eleven years ago) link
Probably cause virtually everyone will be voting for tessio instead?
― Hennesy Williams (EDB), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 08:36 (eleven years ago) link
I would have voted for "Synkro" over "Tessio" but I always forget that those singles didn't come out until the same year as the album; such promptness is so unusual in dance music.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 08:42 (eleven years ago) link
I actually nominated Synkro, and nobody noticed. Sad now.
― Josiah Alan, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 09:20 (eleven years ago) link
i would vote for synkro over tessio too. i also want to vote for lots of other stuff that isn't on the list (PELE BLOSS??) but i didn't nominate anything so sucks to be me i guess.

I think a few got culled along the way maybe to keep the numbers down
― coal, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 11:25 (eleven years ago) link
I think something funny happened when I copy and pasted everything into the google doc. As mentioned above some stuff went missing (including, I should note, some of my own noms). That shouldn't stop people from including things, though.
― Hennesy Williams (EDB), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 11:58 (eleven years ago) link
Did you get my ballot, the late great? I didn't get a response and wanted to check it had reached you. The fate of mid-00s electro-house depends on it. ;)
― Get wolves (DL), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 11:58 (eleven years ago) link
What was decent electro house from mid-decade? Never Be Alone?
― viborg, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 13:07 (eleven years ago) link
There are no entries matching mock n toof
There are no entries matching idjut boys
just do a write-in vote for your favorites
tbh tho if they didn't get nominated they probably wouldn't have placed
i didn't forget about pele bloss but i wouldnt put it in the top 50
― the late great, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 15:10 (eleven years ago) link
yeah DL i did get your ballot
― the late great, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 18:21 (eleven years ago) link
used your real name on the list, apologies
i think this is because of some discussion in the nom's thread about trying to steer clear of edits for this poll, though there are loads of exceptions that snuck through
i prob would have nom'd some idjuts otherwise
― akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Thursday, 7 June 2012 04:03 (eleven years ago) link
tbf i don't think the idjuts have really been working in "house" mode for awhile now unless you count the (sporadic / rare / obscure) droid EPs
there are probably parts of "puddle & spout" that are at least as house-ish as a kdj or theo track but i wasn't gonna nominate some obscure shit that wasn't going to get any votes
if i had i'd probably nominate "oochie coochie"
