Inflation is such a versatile track.

67. The Knife - Silent Shout (184 points, 6 votes)
Year: 2006
Youtube: http://youtu.be/d56LCOThdzM

Here's the new Knife song, 'Silent Shout'. It's not great. Not when set next to Heartbeats. People I've played it to have variously described it as "a bit Jean Michel Jarre" and "spoo-ooky goth shit" and "that bloody keyboard bit makes me feel like I'm ill and I need to hold my nose to blow out my ears".

67. Kerri Chandler - Bar A Thym (185 points, 5 votes)

Year: 2005

Youtube: http://youtu.be/oNXXYWUfZjY

'Bar A Thym' that is completely different than his deep house stuff. Pretty pumping techy-house with a floor-destroying filtered synth melody that just keeps intensifying the whole way through. It's the latest song I've been sufficiently moved enough by to run up and trainspot it.

"Bar-a-thym" is definitely one of THE jump-up-and-down-oh-lawdy-I-can't-get enough-of-this tracks of this decade for me.

If I'd voted (and I am dumb for not), probably 1/4th of my ballot would've been Kerri.

lol that Silent Shout quote.

I much prefer Kerri's 90s stuff to his stuff after, but Bar A Thym is all time.

65. Boards of Canada - In A Beautiful Place Out In the Country
(187 points, 6 votes)

Year: 2005

Youtube: http://youtu.be/zVWcptE6UAI

not dance music, but one of my favourite tracks of all time.

i'd completely forgotten how great Booo! was.

Funny it placed this high after I nommed it and there were complaints about it not being dance music. I didn't vote for it and asked that it was removed from the noms sheet but here we are. It would have broken into the top 50 if I had voted for it.

That said this song and that ep in particular is one of my favorite recordings of the past decade.

64. Larry Heard presents Mr. White - The Sun Can't Compare (187 points, 6 votes)

Year: 2006

Apologize for skipping quotes on a few of these but can't find any interesting ones. If you want to help me out digging youre more than welcome.

Thanking U ILM for Inflation.

INFLATION FUCK YES.

IABPOITC is from 2000 non?

not that it matters

Ah yes! typo sorry, also keri chandler is 66 not 67.

Really pleased to see Inflation show up, I had it as my number 5 but wasn't sure if it would make the rundown. Had Sun Can't Compare at 4 as well, would actually have expected it to place a little higher.

63. Thomas Bangalter and Dj Falcon - So Much Love to Give (190 points, 5 votes, 1 number one vote)

Year: 2002

Youtube: http://youtu.be/z7Gg0RdEWQk

Earlier on today I stuck on Neighbourhood for the first time in a while - I'd forgotten just how much of a fucking unstoppable groove it has. Good times.
Catching up on a couple of bits just now. Love the vocal on the BoC track. In general I've been finding recently that I enjoy BoC a lot more than I used to.

I think it was here someone once wrote: "So much puke to hurl."

But I kinda like it still.

Oh it's this tune. Yeah I've never really liked it I'm afraid.

Thomas Bangalter is an ace name though.

I mean, I can think of about 8 dozen other filtered tracks I like a lot more.

Larry Heard track passed me by somehow. This is good!

Bah! Apparently you people hate joy. "So much love to give" is one of the all time greats. Like being beaten over the head with sunshine.

To much sunshine gives you painful sunburns and skin cancer that makes you DIE!

Just noticed the results are now coming in. This should be good. I didn't vote in this because I don't really know this stuff, but with my recent increased receptiveness to at least some of it, this should be a good list to check out.

Excellent graphics.

on track 90 and having so much fun with all the great music, thanks to everyone involved.

Internet at its very best.

I'm back! sorry for leaving you guys hanging. Will post more results in a min,

couldn't muster enough time and will to send my ballout, but so far i'm loving this list - prob 6 or 7 in here would definitely place, and there are some things i still have to listen. glad to know there's enough love for 'inflation' to place at 69.

also, props to moka for the graphics. they're lovely.

:-D

:-D

97. Hatchback - White Diamond (Prins Thomas remix) (159 points, 6 votes)

'White Diamond' is just so perfect, the airy light euphoria makes me feel like I'm floating. Yesterday it struck me just how much White Diamond reminds me of Orbital's Belfast, which has (or at least had, but I don't think it's changed) the same effect on me.

― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, December 17, 2008

Discovered yesterday that the Hatchback album is really good for wandering round the Natural History Museum in London.

― Matt DC, Wednesday, December 17, 2008

i like driving my hatchback to the beach while listening to hatchback. then going for a little windsurf.

Personally I prefer Atol but the appeal of 'Beautiful Life' is undeniable to me. The bass and synths remind me of New Order and the guitar riff that appears near the end (around 6:40 in this video) even sounds like a sample of them.

Reminding me of New Order is always a great thing in case I wasnt clear.

Beautiful Life is a favourite. I still listen to it on the reg. Also great for running.

agh this is awesome but everything is moving so fast! so much good stuff in here tho, thanks again 2 moka for making this actually happen

Actually thought "Beautiful Life" would be top 20 but my sense of what is "canon" is pretty off, which is why this poll is pretty exciting for me.
