56. Fischerspooner - Emerge (210 points, 9 votes)Year: 2000Youtube: http://youtu.be/6Y3m9vSdFbM
"Emerge" is sort of the modern-day "Sugar, Sugar" yes.― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Tuesday, March 11, 2003
Electroclash is fucking great! Fischerspooner's "Emerge" is electroclash, right? ― Mr. Snrub, Friday, May 14, 2004

55, not 56. I've been really screwing up the numbers today.
― Moka, Wednesday, 22 August 2012 04:00 (8 months ago) Permalink
And I just realized that the 'emerge' version I have had on my ipod all this years isn't the actual single. Apparently I was only acquainted with the DFA remix after all.

I saw Akufen walk in to talk to people around the end of mutek this year! Fond memories of a dj set I saw him do at night, outside, near a lake years ago.

I love the original Emerge. Super sparse and perfect. Haven't listened to the album in forever but remember it being really good.

I liked the second album, too. Judge me.
― your native bacon (mh), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 04:07 (8 months ago) Permalink
second album was better than the first, even if it had no 'emerge' holding it up

I regret not voting but am happy to see so much stuff I would've voted for making the cut. I'm a little sad that "Transition" didn't make it higher; that's a really "big" song for me.

xp, dang I need to check the second one out I guess. Don't remember hearing much about it, at the time.

yeah i really feel like transition should be much higher. I don't remember seeing it in the submissions (i thought it was like 98 or something or i would have voted for it top 10) does anyone know if it was added later in the post voting period, or i just missed it?

56. Ricardo Villalobos - Fizheuer Zieheuer (211 points, 9 votes)Year: 2006Youtube: http://youtu.be/H8_BAoVwoaM
I think I like Bitches Brew more than 'Fizheuer Zieheuer', it also has some horns on it.― Omar (Omar), Thursday, November 23, 2006
so, the promos of 'fizheuer zieheuer' have dropped and it's totally insane - i can't stop laughing whilst listening to it. it definitely lives up to the hype. a parping, dubbed out, industrial klanking balkan freak out. i've no idea how long it is but i felt it could have gone on a wee bit longer. :)― stirmonster (stirmonster), Friday, October 6, 2006
Fizheuer's context is firmly early hours; that's when Villalobos generally DJs (even in London he never starts before 5); the concept of dancefloor friendliness changes the later the hour, but at the same time it's not like you could ever rock a party with Duso.― a (rslvd), Tuesday, November 21, 2006

Brutalga Square I could never get that into. Koze Comes Around got a lot of love but I wasn't able to warm up to it so much.

52. Antena - Camino del Sol (Joakim remix) (217 points, 7 votes, 1 first place vote)Year: 2006Youtube: http://youtu.be/GQLnq3PsFZ8
Antena's "Camina Del Sol (Joakim Mix)" is just too big for words - it's like, trance revivalism meets Ame meets Carl Craig meets, I dunno, just skyscraping largesse. It's almost too big: the whole thing feels incredibly deliberate. But it would be pretty astonishing on the dancefloor.― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Sunday, October 1, 2006
― Moka, Wednesday, 22 August 2012 04:54 (8 months ago) Permalink
Was the #1 vote you Tim?
I went to Las Vegas once and I swear one of the best moments I had there was hearing 'camino del sol' on a club. I don't know if that makes my Vegas trip lame or awesome.
― Moka, Wednesday, 22 August 2012 04:55 (8 months ago) Permalink
That said I prefer the original one since I knew it first and I have more memories attached to it but the Joakim mix is huge.
― Moka, Wednesday, 22 August 2012 04:56 (8 months ago) Permalink
Damn I need to hear that. The original is one of my favorite songs ever.

joakim himself dropped 'camino del sol' remix when i saw him once. it was huuuuuuuge. as is he!

Despite adoring both "Life's a Beach" and "Losing My Edge", I didn't vote for either for fear that people would get angry with some interloper indie-ing up the proceedings.

The lyrics are funny, the beat isn't as good as I was hoping, and it goes on a couple of minutes too long. But I like it.― Tom, Tuesday, July 23, 2002 12:00 AM (10 years ago) Bookmark
I played this for some record collector pals once and one of the more rockisty said something along the lines of "yeah this is pretty funny but it's more of a techno hipster thing, he's not referencing like, the sonics" right before "THE SONICS....THE SONICS...THE SONICS." A+, James Murphy.

not that i dislike the knife, boards of canada, LCD soundsystem and fischerspooner. i enjoy them all, but they're more familiar to me, and maybe seem to belong to a different storyline? i suppose the same could be said of studio and "la ritournelle", but i don't know them as well, so they took me by surprise.
― contenderizer, Wednesday, 22 August 2012 06:08 (8 months ago) Permalink
I don't think I had ever heard that Antena remix before. It's pretty outstanding.

'losing my edge' probably shoulda been 'beat connection' - although tom ewing (or ...someone) made the point back when it was new that the ignored b-side being better was true to classic single type so maybe it's appropriate.
― your own personal cheeses (haitch), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 06:32 (8 months ago) Permalink
"Beat Connection" is better, though I prefer "Yeah". Even so, "Losing My Edge" is more defining so I get it.
I can really listen to "Minimal" over and over again.
