not sure how i feel about stuff like junior boys and herbert - scale on this. i love those albums but they don't seem like they quite fit in a techno/dance/ambient focused poll. 'scale' in particular has no synths on it and lots of orchestra! it's a pop album imo

i guess the angle i'm gonna take is to just not vote for stuff that i consider pop more than dance/ambient/electronic, and hope that other people do the same and we don't end up with silent shout at #1

I recognize a lot of these names, but I actually know less about this than I do the metal poll. So I'm just going to nominate these because I didn't see them already nommed.

i suppose the fact that a bunch of death metal and black metal placed in the top 20 of the metal/hardrock poll alongside the traditional classic rock picks bodes well for this poll not ending up all pop
though i suspect kraftwerk may end up as the equivalent of sabbath here and dominate

Tuomas, it tells you on the page
About the Artist Mickey Hart, best known for his work with The Grateful Dead, has collected and performed on many unusual percussion instruments found throughout the world. He has put both traditional and little-known instruments to new and unexpected uses in his own compositions. At the same time, he has worked diligently to preserve the wisdom of ancient musical cultures through his recordings of indigenous artists. His research into the ritualistic roots of percussion is chronicled in his 1990 book, 'Drumming at the Edge of Magic'. In 1969, Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings traveled to India and Nepal where they studied with the Kagyu branch of Tibetan Buddhism and discovered the transcendent music of the Tibetan bells. In 1972, they became the first Western artists to make use of the then unknown Asian instruments in a 20th century Western idiom. The resulting album, Tibetan Bells, led to a succession of recordings featuring these instruments.
I assume you've heard the grateful dead.

This is not the best CD to buy in my opinion. Its okay... Yamantaka is supposed to be some lower being of some kind and this CD is supposed to explore the darker side or something.... Anyway its okay. It sounds kinda spooky actually but I do like the sound of the bells.

That actually sounds pretty cool, despite the Gayful Daed connection. I may have to check the album out.
