It's like he's singing to an empty club.
Easy to understand why, given the context.

sounds like I'm late to this party but I don't buy that the Frankie Knuckles mix of Blind is any better. The interplay of all the different sounds on the original is amazing, especially the repeating sixteenth notes and the brass. Without those repeating notes the track takes on a totally different and more laid back character. Frankie Knuckles might play better in a club though.

Club Mix >>> Original >>>> Frankie Knuckles mix.

The right one won.

Presuming you can see into the future and mean that the Club mix will place in the future, then OTM.
The club mix still blows me away, the other mixes are ok, I guess.

this results thread and the related spotify playlist are one of the best things about my week, thank you so much, everyone

I'll take either mix over the original, at any rate.

I hear that!

always remembered the FK mix being best (and voted for it,) but i'll have to listen to the club mix again and compare, maybe i'm wrong

i don't get "time code", sounds boring

My new favorite discovery so far is the DJ Koze mix of "Minimal".

I wonder how high 'Blind' would've placed if we'd only had one entry to vote for (voted for the original mix myself). Top 20, if not Top 10, I suspect. It seems a lot of us agree that it's crème de la crème.

much overrated track imo, i mean a good pop hook does not make a good house track
― the late great, Thursday, 23 August 2012 18:49 (9 months ago) Permalink
i should say decent pop hook + competent house production != god-like genius
― the late great, Thursday, 23 August 2012 18:50 (9 months ago) Permalink
it is a good track but the idea that it placed 50 places ahead of "live goes on" and "transition" is crazy to me!
― the late great, Thursday, 23 August 2012 18:51 (9 months ago) Permalink
i don't like it at all, the frankie knuckles mix is v by the numbers. not to mention antony's voice.
― second only to popcorn (or something), Thursday, 23 August 2012 18:58 (9 months ago) Permalink
'transition' however slays everything. placed it low teens, with hindsight maybe should've gone higher.
― second only to popcorn (or something), Thursday, 23 August 2012 19:00 (9 months ago) Permalink
The problem with Transition for me is that it's just too big a statement for almost anyone to get away with playing. If I was picking a UR from this period I'd go for Timeline.

Y'all are mad, the Knuckles Mix is sooooo lush and gorgeous. It just glides on air. Never like the Club Mix myself.
― The Reverend, Thursday, 23 August 2012 19:12 (9 months ago) Permalink
xp i'm not sure i really get that. but, hey, if 'transition' feels a bit, um, intimidating for the moment then flip it over and there's 'inspiration'!
― second only to popcorn (or something), Thursday, 23 August 2012 19:19 (9 months ago) Permalink
transition is intimidating like the percolator
if the crowd is not ready to MAKE YOUR TRANSITION then yeah it can got south and seem pretentious
if the floor is ready ... KABOOOM
see also "black water"

I understand what you're saying tho, like it has to be TIME for the percolator, and if it isn't.....

― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 23 August 2012 20:21 (9 months ago) Permalink
that;s right rev
I get angry when people play Percolator and it's clearly not yet time for the Percolator. By people, I mean my often DJ partner Mike.

similarly many people don't MAKE THE TRANSITION
if you're not MAKING YOUR TRANSITION when you play that song you're doing it wrong, it needs to be the EPIC OFFICIAL PEAK of your set no matter what
― the late great, Thursday, 23 August 2012 20:36 (9 months ago) Permalink
well, look at the relative DJ careers of Mike Simonetti and myself since 2004, then ask yourself how important it is to only play Percolater when it's actually time for the Percolator.

hmmm no berghain-ish techno so far...and probably there won't be one?
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Thursday, 23 August 2012 22:27 (9 months ago) Permalink
Seems like the whole Berghain sound is kind of opposed to the sort of anthemic song of the season type tracks that make it in these lists. Excepting stuff like Yours by Steffi, how many Dettman tracks stand out as individual works of mastery?
― formerly EDB (ed.b), Thursday, 23 August 2012 22:34 (9 months ago) Permalink
dettmann-type tracks, that is.
yeah, I get what you mean. but I thought something like EQD would place.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Thursday, 23 August 2012 22:40 (9 months ago) Permalink
all of them
and some of that EQD will place high i think
― the late great, Thursday, 23 August 2012 22:43 (9 months ago) Permalink
I think the only Shed I voted for, actually, was Well Done. That said, I would support seeing a handful of his stuff in the top 40.
― formerly EDB (ed.b), Thursday, 23 August 2012 22:49 (9 months ago) Permalink
I'm doing penance for never having heard "Transitions" before today by putting it on repeat.

eqd vote might get split, well done my son will not place

predictions for top ten anyone?

Had these as my numbers 6/7/12/5, pretty surprised that none of them were top 20 or even higher. In fact 6 of my top 10 have now appeared, and I suspect 2 of the ones that remain won't place, but at least one will be top 10.
― toby, Friday, 24 August 2012 02:20 (9 months ago) Permalink
