Since we're talking about collabs now, this album is one of the best, Jaki & Holger going absolutely nuts in a way they often did live with Can but not so often in the studio:

Is "Kamera Song" eligible for this poll?

and I've risked the wrath of Moka by asking to update my vote. I had thought I would dislike the self titled album, but then this knocked me out.

Moka, what constitutes collab albums? Full Circle, Phew? I'd quite like to give Flux & Mutability or Canaxis a shout in the albums, I'm thinking.

― Noel Emits

It's open I guess, if ILM approves.

o no STARE OF DAMO

I'm gonna vote I promise

Same, we still have a couple days yes?

i argue that everyone should vote for "tape kebab"

I gotta put in a shout got Tango Whiskyman before it's too late to influence anyone. Tango Whiskyman!

gave up and sent in my ballot. got so excited by the stuff i had heard recently that i ended up prioritizing it, but it still felt kinda weird not to vote for "halleluwah"

today it occurred to me that rite time is the sound of can scoring a michael mann film

Ha ha – he did use Kraftwerk in Thief.

Voted!

(xp) Tangerine Dream surely?

There is some other stuff tracked into Thief - I know there's at least one cue by Craig Safan, didn't know about Can?

Sorry meant kraftwerk not can

Voted. Ballot is skewed by me not really being familiar with the post-Landed material, so is a bit 'Now That's What I Call Can' - but basically I couldn't miss this one.

Seeing as people are posting favourite ewetube live clips, may as well -

voted from memory, didn't overthink it, "All Gates Open" is pretty good but it's no "Vernal Equinox" and even that got cut.

Lost Tapes did quite well

I mean fuck I had to cut "Pinch"! that's a hard poll.

Doing my last pass through the catalog today.

Holy shit my bad, yes T. Dream. Mostly from Force Majure. My brain must've been fried by the sun.

So I am a bit confused about the rules: collaborations by members are allowed but solo records aren't? So, no songs from, say, Movies but Phantom Band is ok?

Part of why I'm asking is that I'm not totally sure why Movies wouldn't count but Canaxis would.

ballot sent

voted!

voted very superficially on personal favorites, hoping to find some major Can jams i have been previously unaware of because the more the better
and more
and more
and more
and more

sending my ballot Sunday night

actually I got a chance to put the e-mail together earlier than I expected, so I just sent my ballot in! :)

voted. this was really difficult even without digging as deeply as i'd hoped to

voted. this was really difficult even without digging as deeply as i'd hoped to

same and same

Just quit messing around and sent a ballot. I think I voted for every track on Soundtracks

Now that the ballot is done, I've started listening to the first Secret Rhythms album by Jaki and Burnt Friedman -- really enjoying it.

1st 2 Pluramon albums also have excellent Jaki drumming, fwiw

Also recommend Cyclopean w Jaki, Friedman, Irmin & Podmore from 2013 as well as the Oblique Sessions w/Jaki & a bunch of others I don't remember

So I am a bit confused about the rules: collaborations by members are allowed but solo records aren't?

Anyone? About ready to send along ...

Ballot sent!

Fuck it, voted!

Threw together a ballot and sent in!

this is that Oblique Sessions thing I mentioned above -- this is a weird reimagined version of Shikaku Maru Ten and I love it

Also I have a question: who plays guitar like Michael Karoli these days?

34 ballots! Is anyone else sending one at the last minute or do I start counting?

Just stabbing out an email if you can bear with me a few minutes!

Done. Genuinely ranking these is almost impossible but very much looking forward to the results!

Is there an unranked/even distribution of points ballot option? There's no way I can throw a ranked one together but unranked I could do

If unranked I'd give 22 points per track. It should be 22.6 but I hate decimals in polls.
