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 (eleven years ago) link
Okay, I've voted.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:02 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
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 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 (eleven years ago) link
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!

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 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Thursday, 31 May 2012 02:16 (eleven years ago) link
extension would be great

― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Thursday, 31 May 2012 06:15 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
some how i never noticed this until now. but no 'love story'? pffft.

― Boy Georbison (EDB), Thursday, 31 May 2012 09:28 (eleven years ago) link
I kind of hate Mathew Jonson, but I'm finding it really hard to remove Marionette from my list, despite it being a completely joyless experience to dance to.
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 31 May 2012 09:30 (eleven years ago) link
Removing it 'cause I've got so many Cobblestone Jazz tracks in there and I much prefer those to dance to.
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 31 May 2012 09:40 (eleven years ago) link
there's always typerope!

done! that was emotional.
― tpp, Thursday, 31 May 2012 10:46 (eleven years ago) link
Nah, that went out far earlier. I find his solo stuff a little too dry. If there was any solo effort of his I'd pick, it would be this remix:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CFL60yk0rw
Anyway, this was super tough, but going through the list brought up a few "so THATS what that track was called" moments and a few new discoveries. These are the closest eleven to making it, that I had to cut off in the end.
kassem mosse - 12 a1 akufen - deck the house donato dozzy - gol akufen - skidoos efdemin - lohn & brot mosca - bax blawan - getting me down cottam - 003b mala - anti war dub instra:mental - end credits fish go deep - the cure and the cause (dennis ferrer remix)

sooo will this get extended or not? because I feel sleepy and I want to make my ballot tomorriw
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Thursday, 31 May 2012 11:28 (eleven years ago) link
Extend it over the weekend, but no further, please! I'd love to see the results next week.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 31 May 2012 11:34 (eleven years ago) link
Surely anyone who's interested in the poll can write down a list of 50 tracks over one weekend? It took me like 30 minutes to come up with my ballot.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 31 May 2012 11:35 (eleven years ago) link
I have to say I don't really see the point in posting in a poll like this if you're not interested in spending some time listening to tracks you are unfamiliar with, but I guess people have their own reasons.
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 31 May 2012 12:52 (eleven years ago) link
I'm having enough trouble whittling down the tracks I loved at the time to worry about taking on new ones.
― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Thursday, 31 May 2012 13:06 (eleven years ago) link
More fun to discover things in the countdown imo.
please extension yes, i have a lot of but-who-do-i-love-best listening left to do
― dethklok piccalo (c sharp major), Thursday, 31 May 2012 13:18 (eleven years ago) link
Matt OTM. I see absolutely no point in diligently plugging through hundreds of nominations and then attempting to weigh up new discoveries against tunes you've loved for years. That's what the roll out is for. I don't like polls to feel like homework.
