ILM'S TOP 77 TRACKS of 2011 (Los resultados!)

DL's right about the Niney 'Blood and Fire' sample on the PJ album. Love how it's placed in a way that makes it sound out of sync/in sync. First time I heard it I thought my iPhone was malfunctioning and trying to play two songs at once.

so far "Call Your Girlfriend" has more of a pull than the Robyn track that placed last year

i can't even remember whether i listened to this. botherd

― first period don't give a fuck, second period gon get cut (lex pretend)

Maybe this is the track to get you back into her, like you were when you first heard (and loved) Be Mine all those years ago.

Do not understand the enduring appeal of Robyn. Good music for 2003, but...?

I like how in the song she's the other woman but the facial expressions she makes in the video suggests she herself is the titular jilted girlfriend.

than the Robyn trackS that placed last year

this is just ok

and that is more like it!

hey another vote!; I was kinda hoping this was a lock for top 20 tbh

'money on the floor' was my #5. p much just owns

rest of today has been p shameful tho

yes! voted for both of these past two

you think Witches Brew is going to make it higher lex?

yes this is definitely more like it!

KEEP YOUR

--XACTLY--
WHERE THEY ARE---

Other than the slo-mo jungle break, I'm not huge on this particular Katy b track.

the number of votes per track seems like it decreases every year, maybe a function of having a longer nom list every year?

you think Witches Brew is going to make it higher lex?

yeah i thought before this began that if there was a katy b consensus track it would be "witches' brew" - i can't imagine "easy please me" and "broken record" placing but not that

by 2015 everyones ballots will be completely disjoint and ties will be settled by holographic rock-paper-scissors

lol just as I refreshed this page I was listening to Katy B SOUNDING GORGEOUS on some Billboard roof session thing http://www.billboard.com/column/tastemakers/katy-b-rocks-the-roof-live-from-billboard-1005627752.story#/column/tastemakers/katy-b-rocks-the-roof-live-from-billboard-1005627752.story

lookin forward to that

xp

Think this is one of the poorer tracks on the Katy B album.

back from lunch

I have zero (0) opinion on the Destroyer track other than to agree with the PSB invocation; dude's voice is VERY similar to Neil Tennant's when he's in sotto voce mode. I will probably never intentionally play this again.

PJ Harvey is manifestly brilliant; this and "On Battleship Hill" are my two favorites from the album.

I never heard "Call Your Girlfriend" before now; I kind of hated Body Talk Pt 1 and completely avoided everything that came after it. This is a decent song but I feel like many of the tracks behind it are more interesting/engaging.

Katy B track is great.

25 - JOE GODDARD ft. VALENTINA "Gabriel" (310 Points, 11 Votes)
P&J - 604
Pitchfork - DNP

oh nice! i rly like this one but didn't have space to vote for it

Yes!

catching up too.

destroyer - i tried a bunch of times but i don't like his voice or the production. it's just boring.

pj - this is uh not what i expected. is the rest of the album like this?

Ooh nice, was a bit lukewarm on this at first, but it (ear)wormed it's way in. Thought it might be a bit higher.

cad: kind of? it's a very... contemplative album

listening to "Gabriel"; at some point it went from "oh this is nice" to "woah I LOVE THIS" and I'm not sure what happened

Yeah this is a really good song. Someone on here described it as sounding like early Basement Jaxx which is spot on.

Oh DAMN, forgot to vote for this. Love it. Loooove iiiiiiit.

oh i like "gabriel" a lot, was way more impressed by it than i thought i would be - didn't make my ballot though. like john talabot, i like that it uses cut-up vox to convey euphoria rather than ~melancholy~

as far as uk dudes in bands trying their hands at dance numbers went last year, joe goddard >>>>>>>> jamie xx

the chutzpah of calling your track "gabriel" is funny too - lives up to it though!

Never heard "Gabriel" before, it's definitely pleasant though I wouldn't have voted for it anyway.

Got to head out now, really sad I'm going to miss the reveal of #24!

the cut-up vocal drove me nuts before the end. Like it wasn't cut up enough, maybe? Good song though,

feel like this is the heaviest dance list since i've been around ilx

i really did not know that there were still robyn tracks eligible for voting, oh well

"broken record" isn't really one of my favorite katy b tracks... much prefer "movement" or "witches brew"

my fav part is in the middle before the beat comes back in -- "for he was stronger than i was" etc.

the chutzpah of calling your track "gabriel" is funny too

idgi

ooh this is v nice. i approve.

that's a pretty bad robyn song

xp Katy B def sounds like Basement Jaxx "Remedy".. good call.

Love the way that the Joe Goddard's (?) vocals echo Roy Davis's 'Gabriel'. Or is it a sample?

"Call Your Girlfriend" is ok but didn't kick my ass as much as "Hang With Me."

"Broken Record" has a bit of Paranoid Android going along, but I kinda dug how a lot of the prior singles were about mastering different types of dance music and bringing in dazzling sonics, and this one was more about songwriting

i like that it uses cut-up vox to convey euphoria rather than ~melancholy~

... how is this NOT a melancholic song?

the chutzpah of calling your track "gabriel" is funny too

idgi

roy davis jr's "gabriel" = very very classic garage track

xp is it a sample? gonna relisten to check

there's also dj technic's "gabryelle" too, it's kind of a talismanic uk garage name

that's a pretty bad katy b song

I mean, it's a minor key stomper about broken hearts and not being strong enough and how Gabriel needs to hang his head in shame; how does any of that scan as "euphoria"?

oh i don't know

I like dis song. I don't like dat song.
