Hey I'm King of The World, You Oughta Hear My Song, Come On & Measure Me, THESE ARE AT LEAST 10 MINUTES LONG - RESULTS ILM BALLOT POLL #58

(and the one i voted for was voted very high)

Voted for DJ Sprinkles, I'm glad it made the top 100. Nice to see Mingus here too, though "Black Saint" is not my favourite, I voted for a different track. And I was similarly confused as Charlie H on why it was nominated as a whole album, since it's clearly a multi-part suite.

Really annoyed with myself I didn't manage to vote. Just so ridiculously busy right now. You guys had better've voted for lots of kraut.

lol I even forgot Hallogallo let alone all the other kraut, hopefully others have picked up the slack (I have a sorta-kraut at number 2 tho)

2 Neu! and 2 Faust on my ballot. You're welcome.

Good stuff so far! Didn't vote for 'Impact' but I love the live version from the 'Satan Live' CD single.

"my generation" was much better than i thought it'd be, and although i'm not well-disposed to live versions of shorter songs making it into this poll, this is clearly something very different to the original

It was my #1, and yeah, it's just a completely different animal to the studio recording.

So far three of mine -- Who, Mingus, Scott Walker -- have made the list.

Pfff...if you can sit through that Scott Walker song, you are a better man than I am.

I'd be surprised if there was a funnier epic than "Zercon" on this poll.

Laaaabor Daaay!

. and no dinner!

a bit of confusion there with the Mingus: were people who voted for it voting for the entire album or the side-long suite, Trio and Group Dancers? i couldn't tell when i saw it on the song list, which is why i left it alone.

Any chance of a slightly earlier rollout today?

Nope.

Unless a few hours counts as "slightly earlier."

that'd do ty

maybe whet our appetites with some hints

ugh, dislike that Les Rallizes Dénudés intensely. A dull, lo-fi guitar jam is all I hear. An epic should, you know, DO something with it's running time. Hope there's not too much more like that in the countdown.

Argh forgot to vote in this. Pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of the Fiery Furnaces.

maybe whet our appetites with some hints

Next 10 is pretty eclectic as far as nations of origin go.

Well good thing this isn't an epics poll! ;)

that fucking daft punk song is in isn't it

Next 10 is pretty eclectic as far as nations of origin go.
So Godspeed You Black Emperor, Can, Fela Kuti, Boris, and Lindstrom?

^^ would be awesome

No Canucks, and it's a different Scandinavian country, but yes on Germany, Japan, and Fela.

first Boredoms appearance probably

that autechre track is truly awesome. calling it garbage is obscenely modest.

maybe we're in store for some Swedish or Finnish metal (can't remember how much of that there was), but it's probably the Knife or something.

Hoping for International Harvester

Posthumously honorary Canuck coming up.

the first track i voted for. fuzzy bliss.

Water Get No Enemy and Krautrock are my second and third to show up. Frankie is one of my big regrettable oversights (along w Starla) (though I might post a quick rundown of shit I forgot to nominate in the campaigning thread when this is done)

yeah I listened to the Berio on that highest unplaced playlist & it were wonderful, need to chase down more

Actually giving it another go now. I like these as a pair:

18T. Yes - Close To The Edge - 8600 points | 9 votes | 2 #1 votes
18T. Sonic Youth - The Diamond Sea - 8600 points | 11 votes

Actually Close to the Edge is much better than I remember, especially the organ break in the middle. The birds twittering at the end is clearly an acknowledgement of the up and coming green politics of the 1970s. "so progressiva" indeed!

this Dissidenten track is very great, whoever voted for it!

I'm loving Don Ellis Orchestra's "Turkish Bath". Why didn't I know about this record before?

^yeah this is great too, Spottie got me listening to Don Lewis a while back and I was similarly rapt back then

It was me who nommed the Dissidenten track, and I'm glad that someone else likes it. It's a Berlin-goes-to-Morocco fusion thing from 1984, which sounds ahead of its time to me.

It sounded like New Order for about 3 seconds, then took flight, emitting more power than a substation - really wonderful, ty

My highest unplaced track (the live "Little Johnny Jewel") isn't on spotify, but "Meet me at the Jailhouse" is.

i discovered the phantastic cortney tidwell track via the poll, her voice reminds me a lot of carolyn crawley (shelleyan orphan, this mortal coil), so pure and direct. "don't let stars keep us tangled up" is one of those comfort giving songs, almost like many neil young songs but in a completely different, more shining way.

the dissidenten were an offspring of embryo one of the early jazzy krautrock bands founded 1969 in munich (two years after amon düül). embryo had already been travellng a lot, they were probably the first world music band, the dissidenten which were called embryo's dissidenten in the beginning tried to appeal to a wider public and merged arab and indian music with dance pop. they were great but in the end they didn't have the success they should have had.

39. The Temptations - Papa Was A Rollin Stone - 6175 points | 9 votes

Way too low. My fault: Forgot to vote it.

I've been listening to this this mix-CD I made for the car:

1. "Slipping (Into Something)," Feelies (6:00)
2. "When," Grachan Moncur III (12:08)
3. "Spiegel Im Spiegel," Arvo Pärt (10:38)
4. "Fur Immer (Forever)," Neu! (11:17)
5. "Quiet Nervousness," Manuel Göttsching (13:00)
6. "How Some Jellyfish Are Born, Yo La Tengo (8:22)
7. "Field of Stars," Oliver Schroer (8:15)
8. "Find a Way," Feelies (7:05)

Assembled in the spirit of this poll, basically, although no strict 10-minute rule. I've never cared about streaming; I rarely listen to music when I'm sitting at the computer. Music in a car, though, life would be considerably less interesting without it--especially long songs, especially driving out in the country.

Gawd, this thread is a goddamn treasure trove! My next few days (weeks) will be all about zoning out to long tracks.
(And listening to short tracks for Karl's poll, obvs.)

Ever wonder what the most popular 10:00+ songs on Spotify are? I didn't. Until 10:00 ago.https://t.co/BzmgGFXBWR

Very surprised that Blue Train is above All Blues, which I figured was a shoe-in for the top jazz track. Very surprised Deep Purple on there at all, didn't think they'd maintained a following comparable to Floyd or the Doors.
