NOMINATIONS THREAD for ILM's Alltime Best Techno/Electronic/Ambient/etc TRACKS poll (nominations end 9/30/10 11:59 PDT)

Bookmark Removed

Gonna do a top 300 for this (and for albums), aiming for a November rollout. This thread is for both nominations and VETOING, since there is some "controversy" here and there over certain acts. for example, there are some people debating the krautrock question w/r/t stuff like cluster, kraftwerk, etc (pretty obvious to me that bands like can and guru guru are out.) i'll go with the consensus on what should be disallowed for the purposes of this poll.

there is no limit on nominations so have at it.

to start off with some nominations:

aphex twin - xtal
deepchord - elysian
ellen allien - sehnsucht
mia grobelny - cold city

Moka, Tuesday, 14 September 2010 00:17 (thirteen years ago) link

I think a distinction should probably be made between electronic dance music (including IDM, etc.) and non dance stuff.
I mean, trying to rank stuff that encompasses LaMonte Young, Squarepusher, Brian Eno, and Ricardo Villalobos is kind of silly, no?

Either way:

Carl Craig - The Climax
Plastikman - Ethnik
Soul Capsule - Law of Grace
Akufen - Skidoos

EDB, Tuesday, 14 September 2010 00:19 (thirteen years ago) link

Giorgio Moroder - From Here To Eternity

Moka, Tuesday, 14 September 2010 00:26 (thirteen years ago) link

I'll add some ambient nom nom noms:

Gas - track 5 (off of Konigsforst) (<Gas is f'd in this poll because of lack of track names!)
Stars of the Lid - Requiem for Dying Mothers (Part 1 & 2) (<could be split into two nominations because they're technically 2 separate, I guess, but it's really one piece of music)
Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country
A Silver Mt. Zion - 13 Angels Standing Guard 'Round the Side of Your Bed
Seefeel - Climactic Phase 3

Z S, Tuesday, 14 September 2010 00:27 (thirteen years ago) link

And while were on it:

Donna Summer - I Feel Love

Moka, Tuesday, 14 September 2010 00:28 (thirteen years ago) link

A Silver Mt. Zion - 13 Angels Standing Guard 'Round the Side of Your Bed

I like representing Gas, Stars of the Lid and Seefeel as noone had mentioned them so far but saying ASMZ is electronica is a bit of a stretch imho

it's overwhelming, but it is kind of interesting. i personally associate all this music anyway, so i like having a poll that includes all of it. for this poll i've drawn the line at stuff that is pop/vocal or has guitars (e.g. ASMZ?).

I agree, which is why I'd definitely say that song is an ambient song! I dunno, I figured someone might object to that one, given the rest of the band's output, but to me this is an ambient song, and a very good one at that:

On the other hand people manage to compile polls where every record ever released is eligible, so it's not likely to be that big a deal.

No idea how to whittle this lot down to an actual ballot though.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:22 (thirteen years ago) link

OTM. I've been listening to electronic/dance music for almost 20 years now, and it's pretty much my favourite type of music in the history of music, so choosing 20 or 40 tracks for a ballot feel impossible.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:26 (thirteen years ago) link

ask gear to allow a ballot of 100 then

I see what this is (Local Garda), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:30 (thirteen years ago) link

Ronan is it the fact that the noms list is too large or the fact that it would be impossible to make a top list?

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:33 (thirteen years ago) link

i just don't know where i'd start with a list really....it's too broad for me, i think there must be a few hundred tracks i love. also it's that thing of the more you're into something the more difficult it is to make lists about it.

I see what this is (Local Garda), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:47 (thirteen years ago) link

it was hard doing the metal list, and this one wont be any easier.

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:49 (thirteen years ago) link

your shortlist will be several hundred tracks/albums

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:49 (thirteen years ago) link

This'll be harder than the metal for me. I know more dance music.

i just don't know where i'd start with a list really....it's too broad for me, i think there must be a few hundred tracks i love. also it's that thing of the more you're into something the more difficult it is to make lists about it.

More nominations:

µ-ziq - Roy Castle
Boards of Canada - Telephasic Workshop
Mylo vs. Miami Sound Machine - Doctor Pressure (Dirty Club Mix)
Tyree feat. Kool Rock Steady - Turn Up the Bass (Scratch It Up Mix)
Caunos - Herzsprung 1
Farley "Jackmaster" Funk & Jesse Saunders - Love Can't Turn Around
Op:l Bastards - Scorpius
DJ Tamsin & The Monk - A Better Place (DJ Crystl Remix)
Robert Armani - Hit Hard
Second Phase - Mentasm
Isolée - Beau Mot Plage (Freeform Reform Parts I & II)

I hope remixes are treated as separate entities in this poll, since they are such an essential part of dance music. For example, I'd definitely vote for the "Beau Mot Plage" remix nommed above, but I'm not sure if I'd include the original in my ballot at all. The same goes for the DJ Crystl remix of "A Better Place", and many others.

Cosign.

I've got a feeling this is going to end up with 200 records tied for 50th place though.

i'm assuming that r&b/hip-hop/ukg is vetoed? i mean going by some people's interpretation of "electronic" they're all eligible but just cuz i love them doesn't mean i want them involved in this poll

lex, do you really want to vote for rap tracks in this poll?

groovemaaan, Thursday, 16 September 2010 08:54 (thirteen years ago) link

i don't, no! i don't think "electronic" should actually encompass every kind of electronic production in popular music, otherwise what's the point of having this specific poll?

لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 16 September 2010 08:58 (thirteen years ago) link

UKG is the only one of those that's up for debate really.
