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

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

Does industrial count?

e*vax - neon & aluminum
I, Cactus - China Shipping Co.
Komputer - Valentina
Kraftwerk - Computer World
Kraftwerk - Neon Lights

Every song by every 8-bit peoples artist ever.

I mean, trying to rank stuff that encompasses LaMonte Young, Squarepusher, Brian Eno, and Ricardo Villalobos is kind of silly, no?

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?).

Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Daft Punk - Robot Rock
Daft Punk - Technologic

Disco Inferno - Love Stepping Out
Ladytron - Seventeen
New Order - Temptation
Silver Apples - Oscillations
Suicide - Cheree

yellow magic orchestra - rydeen

Does industrial count?

also,

Kavinsky - 1986
Kavinsky - Nightcall
Kavinksy - Pacific Coast Highway
Kavinsky - Testarossa Overdrive

Venetian Snares - A Giant Alien Force More Violent & Sick Than Anything You Can Imagine

no no, this is the poll for all time best

hah

ASMZ is electronica is a bit of a stretch imho

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:

don't think we can't see what you're doing here

Anything wrong with that?

Oh no no no no, even I have my limits and Radiohead are a Rock Band (tm) and do not belong on this poll. Get thee hence.

Yeah I was unsure about that. Those tracks are completely electronic, but I won't be upset if they're vetoed.

Heh no xp, it's just curious how The Fugees slip in between L and M. It's going to be one mammoth nominations list by the time everyone's done though.

Vic Reeves - Oh! Mr...Songwriter (Willy Nilly mix)

Cybotron - Clear
Michael Mayer - Amanda
Alexander Robotnick - Problèmes d'amour
Charlemagne Palestine - Strumming Music
Gas - Pop (Untitled 4) (the first one with a 4/4 kick)
Cluster - Fotschi Tong
Jurgen Paape - So Weit Wie Noch Nie

And that's all I've got for now. Also, (if my say has any clout) I happily issue my veto for all Radiohead. They don't need to ruin the poll for the rest of these awesome dedicated electronic musicians.

Charlemagne Palestine - Strumming Music

This is some of the most amazing music in all the world but surely it's not allowed?

when's the deadline for nominations?

hmmm

i wonder when the deadline is

its in the title, lex

stop following me around snarking, max, wtf is your problem

xp ha whoops

!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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?

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