Got my shortlist down to 50, just need to sort out the order. There's tonnes of stuff on the noms list I've never heard and I will try and get through it all eventually but might just stick with tracks I already know and love.

The Spotify list has the wrong Der Zyklus track (Spotify listing error it seems) it should be this:

Definite top 10 for me.
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 11 May 2012 11:37 (eleven years ago) link
The mislabelled track on spotify is actually swapped over with "Die Dämmerung Von Nanotech".
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 11 May 2012 11:39 (eleven years ago) link
Ha, that's annoying! You're welcome to delete that track from the playlist - anyone can edit it

I'd forgotten how much I like Brutalga Square. I've probably ony listened to it several times since it was being played in clubs in years and in my mind I thought the years wouldn't have been kind. I guess it helps that while it was played in Minimal circles, it isn't really Minimal.
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 11 May 2012 12:04 (eleven years ago) link
Don't Feed the Cat now sounds like a very lazy retread of Brutalga however.

A (presumably) unintended side effect of this poll is that I've been ploughing through the spotify playlist, got as far as Azzido da Bass, and suddenly remembered this advert:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39LvqbPPpys&feature=related

so we won't discuss the legibility (is that the right word?) of !!! and the likes?
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Saturday, 12 May 2012 13:48 (eleven years ago) link
Can't believe that all this time I forgot the Prince Language remix of Into the Night! Which is to say, it'll be on my ballot no question.
― EDB, Saturday, 12 May 2012 14:20 (eleven years ago) link
eligibility
legibility means whether you can understand something (if you can't, it's illegible) usually in a visual sense (handwriting)
are those !!! tracks mostly guitar or mostly synth?
― the late great, Saturday, 12 May 2012 16:52 (eleven years ago) link
we can discuss !!! it if you like but rather than people say "what about ..." and me have to go look it up and make a ruling i would rather people throw out arguments about whatever they think should be removed, preferably w/ youtube links, which "the community" can then look at and discuss, i don't really care to be the chief inspector of nominations or whatever

puritanical NIMBYism and <20 tracks i could really get behind means i'm going to flake out on this. es tut mir Leid. i hang my head. ;_;
― iglu ferrignu, Saturday, 12 May 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link
mmm since we've definitely struck down < 30 tracks from the original nomination list i think you have nobody but yourself to blame
OTOH if you (or anybody else) wants to do a write-in ballot or add to the nomination list i'm not opposed
― the late great, Saturday, 12 May 2012 21:02 (eleven years ago) link
i do wonder if you were to add 30+ nominations that you could get behind without fear of NIMBYism (which i'm not is the right term) what those nominations would be

I voted! And I managed to be surprisingly purist in my ballot too.
Looking at my selections though, I'm simultaneously struck by the sheer wealth of musical quality it presents as well as how seemingly pedestrian my tastes are.

Oh man, I'm going to have to listen to soooo much techno before the 90s poll.
I just got stuck on the X-101 through X-103 series and I'm going to be at a loss to figure out which tracks to vote for.

I promised to do the 90s poll, but I'm not sure what time period it should cover. Including the late 80s makes sense in that the the electronic dance music boom of the early 90s began then. But how far back should we go? To 1988, with "Good Life", "Theme from S-Express", "Bango (To the Batmobile)", etc? To 1987, with "Acid Tracks", "Strings of Life", "Pump Up the Volume" "The Promised Land", etc? To 1986, with "Your Love", "Love Can't Turn Around", "Can You Feel It", etc? Or even further, to include early house, Cybotron & Model 500, electro? Or should it just be 1990-1999 so it's simpler? Maybe a separate poll for 80s dance music?

since i want you to be able to continue posting in interrogatory sentences i'm going to arbitrarily declare the poll will include everything published after "sharevari"
