review of nominations and VOTING for (very nebulously defined) ELECTRONIC DANCE TRACKS of the 00s

viborg is that your ballot?

uh oh spoilers

i scrolled past real quick DX

I'd rather just see the individual ballots so I can see where there's overlap with my tastes and hopefully get some new recommendations that way

Several of yours are in mine, but I'll say no more as I don't want to add to the spoilers

viborg is that your ballot?

I'd take it as such

figure everyone will post individual ballots afterward like they do with every other ilm ballot poll

there are definitely some more voices i'd like to see voting

jimitheexploder
the lex
ronan
more goons
more old ilx guard

but whatever, i'll start tallying and maybe give a last minute warning while i tally

i think it should take me about a week to tally

Norm tally.

That was meant to be my ballot, thanks Pacific Trash Vortex. I forgot about the traditional waiting until after the results to post ballots but it seemed like mine would be pretty insignificant if there wasn't really much overlap with the nominated selections. I guess I was just trying to make a statement, or something.

Hmmm, it looks now as if the roll-out will happen while I'm away on holiday. Ah well, at least I'll have bumper results package to check out when I get back (if my browser still lets me load the thread by that stage).

"Hey! We don't serve their kind here!"

"What?"

"Your droids. They'll have to wait outside. We don't want them here."

gree hee hee wrong thread

great stuff

there are definitely some more voices i'd like to see voting

i haven't looked at or read any of this stuff pertaining to this poll b/c i'm allergic to (300 new answers) and haven't had any time recently. i don't have any time right now either or for the next few days probably? i feel a bit stressed out.

i shouldn't have posted in here i feel even more stressed out

soz i'm not in a mindset to deal with the massive commitment that is an ilx poll right now

just send a list of 50 songs you like off the noms spreadsheet (first post) and then forget abt it

personally i think the best way to vote on this poll is just to skim through the list and find 50 tracks that you remember and remember liking and think "oh yeah i want to hear that again!"

i will try hard to do this tomorrow in work. it's hard to find the time but i do want to.

i know this is my fault, but can't believe there's no arto mwambé in there.

also guys... what happened?

yeah, massive oversight. i'd kind of forgotten how much this bangs. voted another agoria high to make up for it.

i think would be in my top 10.

there are some wacko omissions but obv plenty of great stuff to choose from, i'm only putting that down to the sheer volume of music.

can't believe hystereo "winters in the city" is there but no "corporate crimewave".

there is a tuff city kids remix (half of arto mwambe) should be more though.

what are the wacko omissions?

feel like hystereo, agoria and arto mwambe are decidedly b-list, ot to be generous, "deep picks" compared to stuff like "black water", "man with the red face", "one more time" etc etc

voted another agoria high to make up for it.

did this with Still Going Theme because Spaghetti Circus wasn't nommed

that makes sense though - i feel like if you polled many clubgoers or dance fans they'd be much more likely to know "still going" compared to "spaghetti circus"

I like both but feel like they are second-tier DFA in the grand scheme of things

i know this is my fault, but can't believe there's no arto mwambé in there.

but wouldn't make my top 50 anyway

Mr G - Balance

feel like hystereo, agoria and arto mwambe are decidedly b-list, ot to be generous, "deep picks" compared to stuff like "black water", "man with the red face", "one more time" etc etc

sort of know what you mean, with hystereo it's more the inclusion of a track that isn't their best that surprises me. with agoria it's that plus the fact that my personal experiences are clashing with whatever detached critical "is this better" questions you ask. i've heard that agoria track out way more times than "man with the red face", which i'd consider a "deep pick" in reality. "man with the red face" is brilliant but it doesn't feel essential to me, what year was at? i'm sure i heard it first soon after release but it's always felt like an older classic to me, the same way i feel about i dunno, "strings of life" or something, except i like "man with the red face" more than lots of those time-honoured tracks. i think if you go or used to go to clubs and stuff a lot some of these things lose their sheen and you're more inclined to go for the less popular pick, just because it might mean more.

i've got about half done, i'll post a list of stuff i think could have been included here too, not to nitpick or whatever just so people can hear it if they haven't heard it, or for the purposes of discussion.

prefer deep picks to classics whatever either of those things are idk but kinda dont really have any use for a list that has one more time in it

I like 'One More Time', but Daft Punk by then were not really what I call dance music, it's electronic sure, but I couldn't lose myself on the dancefloor to something like that, it just seems far closer to rock than dance. There's verse/chorus/middle-eight, it's all disruptive to any kind of long form dancing experience.
