49. Hercules & Love Affair - Blind (Frankie Knuckles remix) (233 points, 7 votes)Year: 2008Youtube: http://youtu.be/NZ6sLFDUPWg
i know im just jockin but that frankie knuckles remix with antony makes me want to go down on dudes, in a good way― max, Friday, January 25, 2008
I think (maybe with some time, to echo arguments made elsewhere on ilm these days) that knuckles remix might stand out as one of the better things to come out of H&LA. in context, it's proper garage, done like no other nowadays. it's lush, the production is both restrained and faultless. and I agree that tune is impossibly catchy!― blunt, Tuesday, February 12, 2008

45. Ellen Allien and Apparat - Way Out (251 points, 9 votes)Year: 2006Youtube: http://youtu.be/zxeQ85PYChc
In terms of pure sound, nothing in 2006 rivalled techno goddess Ellen Allien's collaboration with ex-boyfriend Apparat: these immaculately crafted tracks with their gorgeous textures and restless, propulsive rhythms made for some dizzyingly dreamy head music. This was the default Sunday morning record of 2006, the perfect accompaniment to sitting back, sipping tea and watching the sun rise as we came gently down; it was also the default DJing tool, with 'Way Out' an inevitable anthem at most parties. Its constant presence throughout 2006 - more than any other, this was an album I lived - was immensely satisfying. -lex pretend

"Falling Up" is the best remix I've heard in ages. Tremendous. Reminds me of Coil in places - dunno why exactly - but , damn - when's that new album coming?― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Thursday, February 9, 2006 2:04 AM (6 years ago)

I think the Holden mix of 'The Sky Was Pink' was the first tune to acquire this 'legendary' status without me really being aware of the track at the time. Things would never be the same!― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, August 9, 2006 1:51 PM (6 years ago)

Alright Mr. Gill- no joke- I've actually got the 'Timecode' 12" waiting for me right now in the mailroom at my work. Just arrived from Forced Exposure with some other stuff.*I need to know*Is there some magic dust on all of the 'Timecode' 12"s that makes you break down into some Otto's Irresistible Dance (oh shit! check that Old School reference!) type groove and fall madly in love with Justus or something?― jsoulja (jsoulja), Friday, August 5, 2005

There were only 5 Carl Craig remixes (and one of his songs) in the noms and 3 have made it so far (Theo Parrish, Faze Action and Junior Boys).

― suare, Thursday, 23 August 2012 06:41 (8 months ago) Permalink
i felt the same way and probably do overall but the bass dynamics on the CC remix on a big-ass system is just ... sheesh
it's so fucking loud and deep you basically can't hear it on a home stereo, it just feels like he's rotating the dancefloor through the bass dimension
― the late great, Thursday, 23 August 2012 06:42 (8 months ago) Permalink
Definitely more into the original mix too, but I did like the remix at the time - massively overplayed though.

Big rush of stuff here I'd have expected to be higher, especially Sky Was Pink which I thought would be top 10.

I still hear Timecode played out a fair bit, feels like its really lasted in a way that not much else from that era has. That hook!

Given that Inflation, It's What You Do and Inspector Norse have placed here, I suppose there might be a fair few entries that placed in recent ILM annual polls.

I haven't really been able to keep up with this poll due to being in the wrong time zone, but I am really enjoying the playlist. So many "Oh! Is THAT what that track is?" moments of putting a name to something I have heard out without knowing.

Just catching up on this last run. Had Falling Up rmx as my #19 but a mid-table sort of placing feels appropriate for it. If we were to re-run the ballot I would def throw a vote to Timecode though, it's one of those tunes that I came to late, initially thought 'eh that's alright' but subsequently have found growing and growing on me.Had forgotten how much of a facemelter the In The Trees rmx is, nice.
― Invisible Bongo Band (Mr Andy M), Thursday, 23 August 2012 11:57 (8 months ago) Permalink
Fairly substantial bias in favour of microhouse and post-microhouse (horrible fucking term but most of this isn't minimal per se). And Carl Craig. 03-04 electrohouse heavy hitters, deep house and minimal feel kind of under-represented so far.
