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?

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

Hmm, perhaps you're right. I just thought I would throw it in because it is one of my favorite Ambient pieces. However, if the poll is restricted to electronic ambient, rather than ambient of all sorts (which is fine by me) then forget about it, no problem.

I think I'll retract my Radiohead nominations as well to avoid problems.

Raver's Choice - 6

How could I forget?

As much as I love Human League and Pet Shop Boys, that stuff doesn't belong in a techno/electronic/ambient poll. Unlike 99% of the other stuff here, it's pop music with synths -- not techno/electronic/ambient.

Taking out Radiohead is a good move as well.

Hmm, perhaps you're right. I just thought I would throw it in because it is one of my favorite Ambient pieces. However, if the poll is restricted to electronic ambient, rather than ambient of all sorts (which is fine by me) then forget about it, no problem.

Yeah I mean - I'm happy for this stuff to be here obviously! My ballot will be 60% this kind of stuff if it's allowed to be! I just think it's further in both lineage and sound from the platonic 'electronic' track than, say, Everything In Its Right Place.

LCD Soundsystem - 45:33
New Order - Confusion
Bomb The Bass - Beat Dis
Matias Aguayo - Minimal
The Source - You Got The Love
Hercules & Love Affair - Blind (Frankie Knuckles mix)
House of House - Rushing To Paradise (Walkin' These Streets)
Spiller - Groovejet
Coburn - We Interrupt This Program
Etienne de Crecy - Am I Wrong?

As much as I love Human League and Pet Shop Boys, that stuff doesn't belong in a techno/electronic/ambient poll. Unlike 99% of the other stuff here, it's pop music with synths -- not techno/electronic/ambient.

I was really looking forward to this poll, but if the Human League, one of the key groups in popularising electronic music and the single act who changed my outlook on music more than any other are vetoed then fuck it I'm out of here.

Is there a voting thread for this yet?

Don't think so.

Don't want to pressure or anything, but it'd be nice to see this poll happening...
