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

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.

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

your shortlist will be several hundred tracks/albums

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

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

Op:l Bastards - Scorpius
DJ Tamsin & The Monk - A Better Place (DJ Crystl Remix)
Robert Armani - Hit Hard

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.

Justice vs Simian - We Are Your Friends
Frankie Knuckles - Your Love

LCD Soundsystem - Losing My Edge

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

black leotard front - casual friday
martin buttrich - full clip
lawrence - along the wire (superpitcher mix)
dntel - this is thedream of evan and chan (superpitcher mix)
rekid - next stop chicago
theo parrish - falling up (carl craig remix)
superpitcher - heroin

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.

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...
