Should have really trawled through the spreadsheet earlier - went through looking for anything I may have missed while compiling my list, and none of the tracks I nominated back in this post were visible. Oh well, voting for most of them anyway.

(Took me till I reached the lack of Shit Robot's "Triumph" in the spreadsheet to make me do a double-take, though)

Voted. Putting it together was a lot of fun, it reminded me of (a) how much I love lists and (b) how difficult I find it to make good ones.

Yeah, best wishes Tim. Be healthy.

Oh I'm going home tomorrow, no dramas, just saying that I'm on the case.

Tim F, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 03:58 (11 months ago) Permalink

Okay, I've voted.

Tim F, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:02 (11 months ago) Permalink

Ballot in. Left a bunch of stuff I nominated off, rediscovered the Luomo remix of Black Dice's "Smiling Off" and gave that some love instead - good fallback when DJing a mid-00s gallery opening.

I'm going to try and vote tonight but it's probably worth extending the deadline rather than running a poll with a tiny number of voters?

Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Wednesday, 30 May 2012 08:53 (11 months ago) Permalink

I have a shortlist of 80 now but I agree with extending the deadline because 1000+ nominations is so daunting.

Amazed potential high-placers LCD's Yeah and Katy B's On a Mission aren't in there but I guess I should have nominated them myself instead of kvetching now.

Get well soon Tim.

terrence parker - your love

is from 1996 btw

didnt see all the kdjs but j.a.n is 90s also

coal, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 15:24 (11 months ago) Permalink

i think "yeah" is not electronic enough and "on a mission" is too pop for our participants

the late great, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 15:29 (11 months ago) Permalink

i would consider extending the deadline but i would want a roll call of who needs an extension, so that i know when to start counting ballots.

the late great, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 15:29 (11 months ago) Permalink

The thing with a theme like this, unlike a single-artist poll, is that there are so many factions - there are producers, labels, even genres I've ignored entirely and I'm sure that will be the case for a lot of voters, so you need a certain number of voters before any meaningful overlap will occur. I can see most of my tracks dying a lonely death if there are less than 20 ballots.

Get wolves (DL), Wednesday, 30 May 2012 15:51 (11 months ago) Permalink

just sent in my ballot too.
at some point I had to stop splitting hairs between adjacent tunes out of the 50 and hope for approx current favour/ranking within around 10 spots, except for the all important Top 5/Top 10. loved hearing (relistening to) many of these tunes again!

andrew m., Wednesday, 30 May 2012 18:36 (11 months ago) Permalink

i'll have one in within the next couple of hours. surprisingly happy with it. ps. midi rain 'always' was a biggish revival tune for ellen allien amongst others but is from like 1991.

I vote for extension

so do I

boxedjoy, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 22:41 (11 months ago) Permalink

whatever i just scanned the list and made a shortlist of the ones i could hum (about 75) and then just got rid of the microhouse

the late great, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 23:04 (11 months ago) Permalink

ok here is something i am thinking - in the meantime, could we crowd-source the composer and label for each track?

then we could also tabulate top artists and top labels

the late great, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 23:08 (11 months ago) Permalink

For whatever it's worth, even though I'm a fan of Avalanches/Basement Jaxx/Daft Punk/The Knife/LCD Soundsystem, I'm probably gonna leave that stuff off.

yes.

I've got swept up in a lot of stuff this week I didn't count on. I can still dash one off but it won't be as considered as I'd like. So yes, an extension if at all possible.

extension would be great

plie-se extend

Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Thursday, 31 May 2012 06:15 (11 months ago) Permalink

Gonna hit the original deadline I think (a bit of a rarity for me in all aspects of life!)

Inflation really stands up I think, what an atmosphere that track has, it's very, ahem, cough, cinematic.

Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 31 May 2012 09:05 (11 months ago) Permalink

some how i never noticed this until now. but no 'love story'? pffft.
