I've actually got a helluva lot to be tracking down now. Art Bears? Wuh? emil.y and Abbott both have loaaads of krauty/arty goodness on their lists and I'll be chasing it up, no worries!

EZ Snappin, Saturday, 9 January 2010 21:11 (fourteen years ago) link

Also, such a shame to see The Poppy Family (featuring Susan Jacks) - Which Way You Goin' Billy? so low on the full results page. It was popping in and out of my top 40, and eventually missed the bill, but there are a couple of killer tracks on this.

Black devil Disco Club are the one thing mentioned I've never even heard of. Tell me?

― sonofstan, Saturday, January 9, 2010 9:06 PM (5 minutes ago) Bookmark

It's a rare french disco record that came out in 1978. Aphex Twin's label put out some of the songs in 2004 which made people think the background story was a hoax, this is partly because no-one had really heard of it in the first place and partly because it sounds ahead of it's time. It's an incredible album, I only downloaded it last year (an original copy goes for around 300 pounds) and I've been obsessed with it ever since. It sounds like if Giorgio Moroder had made a really dark goth record.

Kitchen Person, Saturday, 9 January 2010 21:19 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah, the Black Devil record is completely awes. He's since come back and released some new stuff that sounds like he didn't miss a step at all in 30 years.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 9 January 2010 21:20 (fourteen years ago) link

I always get if mixed up w/"Black Mass" by Lucifer (Mort Garson). They're both good.

girl moves (Abbott), Saturday, 9 January 2010 21:21 (fourteen years ago) link

Yep, it's awesome.

The weird thing, and the reason that people still think it might be a hoax is that black devil disco club recently started recording and releasing music again, I think under the name Black Devil (?). And also, now something ELSE is coming out that's apparently a super rare recording from 1975 or something, and everyone's saying there's no way in hell it's that old.

oops, xpost

chicken sandwich CARL!! (Z S), Saturday, 9 January 2010 21:22 (fourteen years ago) link

The "new" old thing that's being rereleased is called The Strange New World of Bernard Fevre. The Boomkat blurb does nothing to clear up the confusion over its origins:

Prime disco fiction from the folk behind Black Devil Disco Club on 'The Strange New World Of Bernard Fevre'. As the story goes, this album was recorded in 1975, before the release of the first BDDC album, when we could only imagine this would sound light years ahead of its time. The label and artist are in no hurry to fully confirm whether this was actually recorded then, or if they're maintaining the elaborate hoax-not-hoax of the first set, but listening to it we'd hazard a guess at this being a mixture of periods, performing some clever chrono-bafflement to have some fun with your own space-time continuum. While the previous BDDC album was dedicated to afro-electric disco grooves, this album opens up to new planes of lucid sci-fi soundscapes populated by and constructed from vintage synthsizers and sequenced with a classic analogue romanticism. It's clear to hear traces of Aphex, Air, BoC or Drecxciya embedded into these compositions, meaning it requires some dedicated one-on-one mind time for all the space cadets out there in need of a new trip. Lush.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 9 January 2010 21:24 (fourteen years ago) link

Since I heard the album last year I wake up everyday thinking I wish they would put it out properly again. The recent stuff has been great especially 28 after which does sound like it could have come out just after the debut.

The Strange New World is really good but quite different from the 3 Black Devil albums.

Kitchen Person, Saturday, 9 January 2010 21:25 (fourteen years ago) link

I'm doing my 00s Books Poll rundown next week (two days left to vote you guys!) - Johnny you're an inspiration

Ismael Klata, Saturday, 9 January 2010 21:36 (fourteen years ago) link

I feel like crap for missing Matt#2's vote for YMO, thus throwing off the bottom half of the poll's placements completely, but other than that I think it went well. Ha!

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 9 January 2010 21:41 (fourteen years ago) link

it's ok, the top half was way better anyway ;-)

Electric Universe (wherever that is) (acoleuthic), Saturday, 9 January 2010 21:41 (fourteen years ago) link

Perfect Angel is a classic too, it's very Stevie Wonder in places.

Probably because he produced it and wrote a couple of the songs. ;)

Speaking of Stevie, I'm very surprised and saddened to see that Music of My Mind did not make the list.

The Reverend, Saturday, 9 January 2010 21:55 (fourteen years ago) link

This poll got me into Paul Simon's first solo albums, btw. Even though none of them placed, I went out and grabbed them (having only heard Negotiations & Love Songs before now). There's a lot of great, REALLY great deep cuts on those first three.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 9 January 2010 21:55 (fourteen years ago) link

Music of My Mind is my favorite right behind Talking Book, but I had to spend some of my up-ballot votes on other things and couldn't push that one into the 100.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 9 January 2010 21:58 (fourteen years ago) link

So it was very close, then?

The Reverend, Saturday, 9 January 2010 22:05 (fourteen years ago) link

Oh man, I just realized, if I was thinking during the noms I would have nominated and then (fruitlessly) voted for Bo Hansson's "Lord of the Rings" album.

sedentary lacrimation (Abbott), Saturday, 9 January 2010 22:08 (fourteen years ago) link

It had 46 points. A first or second place vote would've gotten it in, but I had to get Van Halen in there since I've been a hardcore fan from about the age of 10. I spent my #2 on ABBA (lol corny white fuX0r). xp

The Reverend, Saturday, 9 January 2010 22:22 (fourteen years ago) link

Bummed I totally missed the top 10. Shot the wad without me :(

1. Tusk love, inexplicable.

2. Fear Of Music - The paranoia and dread frightened me when I was 9-10, but later it made a lot of sense in the tail end of the cold war. It eventually became one of my favorites among post-punk albums, alongside Joy Division, Gang Of Four, Birthday Party, etc. "Middlebrow" is such a pointless criticism, and it might as well be applied to the whole lot of art rockers and post-punkers.

3. Curtis - I wrote this a few years back:

On a cold winter night in January 1971, Mayfield performed an intimate show at the Bitter End, a small New York City jazz club to an adoring audience. In between songs he'd rap about the songs, or whatever was on his mind. His soft spoken voice exuded a loving gentleness and humor, but just under the surface was a righteous anger and a little sorrow. His extensive history of socially conscious songs always seemed to hit hard with such authority that eclipsed anything by Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. And his spirituality is so natural and subtle that he would have made more sense as a reverend than Al Green, the conflicted, tortured hedonist who eventually gave up secular music, but never seemed to have as deep a grasp of spiritual matters as Mayfield. Which is why even though some of Green's exquisitely produced and performed albums rate higher than some of Mayfield's, Mayfield is my main soul man. I'm a minority in this thinking, as Green, Wonder and Gaye were far more popular. Stevie Wonder's musical genius is often awe inspiring. But aside from his two definitive albums, he's often guilty of cloying overindulgence. I love Marvin Gaye's sixties singles, and What's Going On certainly deserves recognition as a landmark protest album. But musically his passion doesn't come across. The songs are meandering and noodly, the production saccharine and vapid. Gaye introduces a very bad habit of substituting vocal acrobatics for power and directness that continues to plague modern soul music to this day. And while I give him props for having the, um, balls to record a song called "You Sure Love To Ball," Let's Get It On inspires me to sleep more than get it on. I think his best album might be Here, My Dear (1978), an album he was forced to deliver in a divorce settlement with label boss Berry Gordy's daughter. It's a seething, vindictive mess, and the most honest music he's ever made. I honestly can't find any fault with Curtis Mayfield. His work with the Impressions is impeccible. By 1968, in his second attempt (his first attempt was Windy C Records in 1966), he had established the first truly successful black artist-owned record label, Curtom with partner Eddie Thomas. After recording the Impressions' strongest albums, This Is My Country (1968) and The Young Mods' Forgotten Story (1969), Mayfield felt he needed to drop out from touring to work on his label and spend some time in his home town of Chicago with family. The respite was short lived. His creativity was burning bright, and without the restraints of writing for a harmony group and someone else's label, he was able to let his muse run wild. And wild it was.

His brilliant concoction of psychedelic soul and bongo/conga-driven funk sparkle and bubble with a vivacious lust for life. Even his righteous indignation glows with his love for humanity. His no-bullshit, clear falsetto vocals may not be as accomplished as Al's, but the plaintive sweet tones are always spot-on, complementing the music that is often gritty, dark, and even menacing (hear "(Don't Worry) If There's A Hell Below We're All Going To Go," where his processed vocals at first sound like howls from the fiery pits before reverting to his more laidback falsetto). "The Makings Of You," "We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue," "Move On Up," it was all killer, no filler. Some called his debut, Curtis (1970) the Sgt. Pepper's of soul.

4. Devo - Such an important album, probably one of the greatest examples of savage social satire reaching so far into the mainstream. I remember reading one of those scholastic magazines around 1979 targeted to 4th-6th graders that had an article on Devo. It even had a nutshell summary of their theory of devo-lution! Around 2003 or 04 there was a Nike sponsored 5K that had bands like Flock of Seagulls and General Public playing along the course, much to their humiliation. Devo was the main attraction with a full length concert after the race. A fittingly perverse setting for them. I got the remaster this year but actually haven't been in the mood for it lately. That should change soon.

5. Wyatt - Nice choice. Didn't make my ballot, but I'm a big fan, not much to add.

6. X Ray Spex - This was on my ballot, and is one of my top 50 of all time. I like punk in most of its varieties, but they seem especially fresh after all these years. It's amazing that Poly Styrene wrote these brilliantly funny songs when she was only about 15. Exactly a year ago I ran into their drummer BP, while vacationing in the Caribbean (wish I was there now). For the first few days I thought he went by "Peepee," ha ha. Nice guy. He doesn't do music anymore, prefers bass fishing and lives in the Boston area. The only recent music he's enjoyed is some death metal and grindcore!

Fastnbulbous, Saturday, 9 January 2010 22:24 (fourteen years ago) link

I didn't expect Alice's Ptah, the El Daoud to make it, but I thought it would do better than 2 votes, 8 points. It's magnificent.

chicken sandwich CARL!! (Z S), Saturday, 9 January 2010 22:24 (fourteen years ago) link

Other things from my ballot, I'm genuinely surprised didn't place: Fresh (hey didn't those guys win the OG poll?), Head Hunters, Here, My Dear, anything by Bill Withers, concidering how much love he gets around these parts (although I'm not sure which one, which may be the problem, Live at Carnegie Hall seems to be the most vaunted here)

The Reverend, Saturday, 9 January 2010 22:26 (fourteen years ago) link

seems like most did one artist one vote and sextant was it instead of headhunters.

Pfunkboy : The Dronelord vs The Girly Metal Daleks (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 9 January 2010 22:30 (fourteen years ago) link

Fresh is a good album. There's a Riot Goin' On is unquestionably iconic. I can see why it missed out, if only because it's not the first Sly Stone choice for most people. Not being the first Sly Stone choice might equate to not being within some people's top 40 choices overall. xp

The rest did. However it was you copied/pasted the spread sheet code for your #1, though, made it look garbled in my email. I remember noticing what it was, but I probably had a brain fart and forgot to count it.

I had Fresh and Young, Gifted and Black on my ballot originally but took them off because I had only recently acquired copies of each. Didn't feel as if I had lived with them long enough to place on my ballot. I dropped Rocket to Russia off my ballot for reasons that I can no longer fathom.

Every time I listen to/think about the first four Ramones albums, that Dr C posts leaps to mind. It makes me love them almost more than any band ever. xp
