i think would be in my top 10.
there are some wacko omissions but obv plenty of great stuff to choose from, i'm only putting that down to the sheer volume of music.
can't believe hystereo "winters in the city" is there but no "corporate crimewave".

there is a tuff city kids remix (half of arto mwambe) should be more though.
― dsb, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 23:18 (eleven years ago) link
what are the wacko omissions?
feel like hystereo, agoria and arto mwambe are decidedly b-list, ot to be generous, "deep picks" compared to stuff like "black water", "man with the red face", "one more time" etc etc

voted another agoria high to make up for it.
did this with Still Going Theme because Spaghetti Circus wasn't nommed
― ┗|∵|┓ (sic), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 00:06 (eleven years ago) link
that makes sense though - i feel like if you polled many clubgoers or dance fans they'd be much more likely to know "still going" compared to "spaghetti circus"

I like both but feel like they are second-tier DFA in the grand scheme of things

i know this is my fault, but can't believe there's no arto mwambé in there.

sort of know what you mean, with hystereo it's more the inclusion of a track that isn't their best that surprises me. with agoria it's that plus the fact that my personal experiences are clashing with whatever detached critical "is this better" questions you ask. i've heard that agoria track out way more times than "man with the red face", which i'd consider a "deep pick" in reality. "man with the red face" is brilliant but it doesn't feel essential to me, what year was at? i'm sure i heard it first soon after release but it's always felt like an older classic to me, the same way i feel about i dunno, "strings of life" or something, except i like "man with the red face" more than lots of those time-honoured tracks. i think if you go or used to go to clubs and stuff a lot some of these things lose their sheen and you're more inclined to go for the less popular pick, just because it might mean more.
i've got about half done, i'll post a list of stuff i think could have been included here too, not to nitpick or whatever just so people can hear it if they haven't heard it, or for the purposes of discussion.
― ooooiiiioooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaoooooh un - bi - leevable! (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 08:54 (eleven years ago) link
prefer deep picks to classics whatever either of those things are idk but kinda dont really have any use for a list that has one more time in it
― coal, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 09:50 (eleven years ago) link
I like 'One More Time', but Daft Punk by then were not really what I call dance music, it's electronic sure, but I couldn't lose myself on the dancefloor to something like that, it just seems far closer to rock than dance. There's verse/chorus/middle-eight, it's all disruptive to any kind of long form dancing experience.
― Chewshabadoo, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 12:00 (eleven years ago) link
it's a close relation to a whole load of house tracks.
i'd have liked "too long" in there from that record but dunno if it'd make my top 50. it's all pretty reductive though.
― ooooiiiioooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaoooooh un - bi - leevable! (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 12:22 (eleven years ago) link
…Such as?
― Chewshabadoo, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 12:52 (eleven years ago) link
i think what i was getting at is that i don't think of these poll lists so much as an indicator of quality - though it does manage that too, sometimes - but more an indicator of what a "canon" might be in terms of what tracks stick in people's minds and influence their reception of new dance music
personally i think "man with the red face" is an all-time banger
― the late great, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 14:42 (eleven years ago) link
don't get me wrong, i love it, i think you're hitting on a sort of problem though. "man with the red face" is indisputably canonical, but if i am picking 50 tracks of the 00s, there are other things that i find more exciting. i'm prob not picking based on canon, personally, a mixture of what i feel about a track personally and my experiences with it, and an attempt to look at it for what it is or how effective it is, though it's all coloured by personal experiences for me.

ummm... the spotify playlist has gone from being 500 tracks or whatever to 105. spoilers?
― Smothered, Covered and Chunked!!! (a hoy hoy), Monday, 18 June 2012 11:25 (eleven years ago) link
Hey, did someone delete a whole bunch of stuff from the Spotify playlist? There were 600+ tracks on it at one point, now it's only showing a meagre 118! Or is there something funny going on with my PC? What do other people see?
Ha xp!

Hey that's better than nothing! Looks like it goes up to 'S', so I'll delete all the tracks from the current playlist up to that letter, then drag your version over. Maybe get round to filling in the blanks again the next time I'm sat in front of a dull football match.

I have some spare time at the moment, so do you think it'd be okay if I already started the nominations thread for the 90s electronic tracks poll? Obviously I won't start the actual poll thread until after this one is over.
