I was sure a single first place vote would guarantee a spot here - I guess if the present lover got 1 1st place and two other votes on top of that there's tougher competition than I thought.

Expected this one to fare much better considering it did good on the best 2011 tracks poll.
i didn't vote but i'm psyched. looks great Moka. there are already tracks i LOVE mainly TPL and Cable Dazed.

1st place vote means 50 points. According to my table there's 7 nominees fighting for a tie at 50 points. They're fighting for the 356th place!

7 number one votes that got no other votes? love ILM sometimes.

I think Getting Me Down was low down on my ballot but not 100%. Good tune anyway, I may have heard it a few too many times by now but can't really hold that against it.

The banners are exquisite, yeah. I'd forgotten about "All I Do", need more Bump'n'Flex in my life. Lots of things resembling things I've voted for turning up, so can't complain.

Actually from those 7 songs with 50 points only 3 of them are number one votes. The rest closed at 50 by chance.

Cool! really looking forward to checking out stuff on this thread, i can allready tell there is going to be a lot of "why didn't i vote for that" moments for me. along with finding cool stuff that i missed first time around. And the graphics look great! thanks for making it happen.

Caught up on all the youtubes now - from the ones that I wasn't familiar with before, I think Invisible Conga People - Cable Dazed is my favorite so far. Really the Killers & M83 tunes are the only ones that I'm not too keen on, so a pretty good start.Heading to bed now, will rejoin the fray after work tomorrow. Thanks again to Moka for the work on this.

"Transition" should be much higher imo. but i didn't even vote for it as i thought it was pre 2000. it just feels like an all time classic.

The gap between voting and now has made this more interesting, I think, as I'd forgotten which things got ruled out in my late cuts from 100 or so down to 50. Things I voted for that have ranked so far:
108. Junior Boys - Like a Child (Carl Craig remix) (147 points, 7 votes) [my #39]99. Green Velvet - La La Land (157 points, 9 votes) [my #37, mostly a vote for every time I've seen him live, though]98. Blawan - Getting Me Down (158 points, 5 votes) [my #8]94. Underground Resistance - Transition (160 points, 5 votes) [my #15, really surprised to see it this low]85. Alter Ego - Rocker (165 points, 5 votes) [my #24, no idea why I rated it so highly tbh except for nostalgia]

Solitary Flight was my number 9. Love this track, I only discovered it a couple of years ago. Such a great sample flip, I have probably listened to the Bladerunner OST hundreds of times and yet, when i heard Theo's take on it though instantly familiar i could not place the source. maybe because everyone samples like "these moments lost in time" or "tell me the first thing that cames into your head when i mention your mother" random SFX or even techier parts of the score, but in theos hands "memories of Green" takes on these like weary gospel vibes or something. rather than what i associate with bladerunner vibes.

whoa, i'm so excited! here's an idea, moka: how about you do a search for each track on ILM and quote one or two interesting comments about the track? your graphics are great and all but without words it can feel dry. in fact, i'll do that myself if you give me the full results.

― Matt DC, Monday, 20 August 2012 13:21 (9 months ago) Permalink
never liked 'rocker' at all. made up 'over the ice' made it, even if relatively low, thought it may suffer from an axl vote-split.

Mandarine Girl feels amazingly low actually but I suspect that In White Rooms or maybe even Body Language hoovered up some of its votes.

I found it grating and then I liked it and then I got bored by it and now remember it with a fond nostalgia for a pre-Justice, pre-brostep grating wilful dumbness. saw them live a couple of years ago and they made a fun point of playing it as a medley in different styles, with different soundbanks and tempos, instead of doubling down on the simple aspects
expecting Body Language to make top 25.

Don't have spotify but slsk and the youtube blackhole will keep me so occupied.
Loved playing these across the weekend, with about a nanoseconds' worth of fatigue. Ramdon exploration of individual ballots awaits, and the post-list discussion was fab. Will take while to work out all the strands in my head...loved discovering (artists' wise) Booka Shade, Superpitcher and Koze and finally getting down to listen to lots of Kompakt that I began explaoring at the time but never carried on with. And Luomo. That should've been no.1 except the Maclean-Paape-Luomo had a whole euphoria in melancholia thing going back-to-back that felt great to listen to. I can see Lindstrom not being as wtf there are nebulae forming across the sky as Carl Craig. Still, its democracy in action.
Couple more things: I did laugh at Burial and Daft Punk placed next to one another (chimed w/the whole ILX-Dissensus thing in the last few posts). Also surprised that there was as little 2-step as there was...maybe it was all released pre-'00? I think I almost certainly don't take to any string samples chosen (too blandly tonal or simply tonal as in the Sebastien Teller; sampling Skempton by Pantha Du Prince is much more like it and far more inspired), or the way guitars are processed in these (as in La Rock) unless aligned to a v great hook (Rubison really worked). But that's what years of listening to Harry Pussy-style devastation and post-serial strings do for you.
Afuken, Herbert, were the more abstract choices, but that never even began to work on me. The ideas weren't all that. Four Tet was boring.

There were a couple 2step tracks ("Sincere", "Re-Rewind") in the 90s poll.

Yeah I saw that. I have a tidy basket (more than 5-7 across the two polls) of tunes from that time that I recall (and have compilations somewhere) but I'm guessing either it was late 90s or that the poll was really way more inclined to electronic and dance music.

That's because the good Herbert records are from the 90s rather than the 00s
