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

decent track but it's no graveyard girl

^ this

LDR is also a wounded birdie

Got no problem with M83 but no love for it, either.

Re-listening to the EMA, maybe it's just catching my mood right but I like this, actually. Some clear reference points, I guess, but I'm a fan of poetry over noise, so...

my go-to M83 track is probably 'we own the sky', still haven't heard the new one. i should probably rectify that!

"Graveyard Girl" is good but it isn't even the best song on Saturdays + Youth (which would be "The Skin of Night", with "Kim and Jessie" close behind)

oh yeah "We Own The Sky" is also great! I am so happy I discovered this band, they pander to me so much

I can't remember if I voted "OK Pal" as well; that's another great song on the new one

i saw M83 w/the l.a. philharmonic, pretty damn good (mostly seemed to be playing digital shades type stuff iirc?)

I don't know what it is about m83 - technically I should quite like it, but he always falls short of pushing my buttons. This is okay I guess, but more deserving of a top 50 placement, not this high.

didn't really love m83 until this album, which I think is fantastic. hard to pick an individual track, but for it would probably be Intro

I don't hate M83 but their whole sound seems to aim for a grandiosity that the music doesn't quite back up, it all feels nice but empty to me.

damn, people really like this m83 song huh

ok juuuuuuust catching up

not heard "heaven" before but it's lovely

i <3 EMA (voted #3 or 4 on my albums list) but i'd have gone with "grey ship" instead prob

co-sign lex on "m83 is best as raw remix material" sentiment

^ still want to know where this guy comes into it

M83 has like 5 amazing songs, dude is not a good enough singer for that music imo

M83 featuring Trumpy

this M83 track is overrated to hell and back. nice to see Blawan place this high - didn't vote for "Getting Me Down", but still love the track (the can banging sample!) - weird at first, but a colossal grower!

so far I'm really excited with this JoJo song - didn't hear this before but it's sooo brilliant, the detuned pads and all

I don't hate M83 but their whole sound seems to aim for a grandiosity that the music doesn't quite back up, it all feels nice but empty to me.

I think that emptiness is very intentional, or at least it's something I gravitate towards; it's part of the whole self-insertion into the mood process for me, where I'm imagining myself looking longingly into Molly Ringwald's or Ally Sheedy's eyes before that magical moment when we kiss, and then "Midnight City" comes up as we lean back and smile at each other, the frame freezes and the credits start to roll.

lol stupid mind faster than fingers

"it's part of the whole self-insertion into the mood process for me, where that space is where I'm etc etc etc"

yeah i'm on the M83 bandwagon at least for that one track

he sounds like zola jesus. in fact, on the first track it sounds initially like his voice, which then seems to morph into hers, and it's hard to tell where exactly

he is a pedophile

waht

I love how this went from just being a unknown track J0rdan heard on Miami radio to being something so many people went nuts about. So happy it made the top 10.

ah for real this is making me very happy

Adiah, ILM launched that song!

Didn't vote for it but is a jam

THIS. YES.

every time i hear the drums / i just can't get enough

oh cool

go head
go head
go head and pump up the volume

DRUMZ!!!!!!!!

Adiah, ILM launched that song!

i only wish we'd launched it TO somewhere, i was actually expecting the world to pick up on it and it...didn't

totally in the lineage of "swing my way", "my boo", "never leave you", "move ya body", "delirious" for me. summer jam as light as a slight slight refreshing breeze. gorgeous

nb when i interviewed pitbull he said he wanted to work with desloc piccalo

congratulations Rev

anyway it's THIS that makes an ilm list what it is. soooo happy to see this so high

lol, if this song goes anywhere, it will be in 2013 when it is sold to Pitbull

omg I swear that was an xp to lex's post

YOU CAN STOP
DROP
AND ROLLLL
BUT CAN'T PUT THAT FIRE OUTTTTTTT

suuuuch a tune.

TOO LOW.

My #2!

i truly appreciate all the support thanks guy's !

goddammit ILM, I love it when you surprise me like that, it's the first time ever I hear this song and I already wish it was summer!

Haha I *knew* this would finish top 10. Brilliant track, although I might be in the minority that prefers Desloc's contribution to Adiah's.

here is the genesis of the song

(this is me recording it on my phone driving home from my old job)

MAKE YOU SAY
OH OH EY-OH

Haha I *knew* this would finish top 10. Brilliant track, although I might be in the minority that prefers Desloc's contribution to Adiah's.

i "prefer" adiah's bits but as the adiah-only version proved, the desloc bits were 100% crucial

DJ TURN THE MUSIC UP
LET'S PARTY
LET'S PARTY

they're a nice compliment to each other

Again, never heard of it. Obv been on a different board from you lot all year.

I'm with JF re M83 - "Hurry Up..." was such a let-down and I had no interest in returning to it after the first few listens. "Midnight City" seems to be everywhere on TV/radio though.

lex and Dan otm

as the adiah-only version proved

this exists?!??! WHERE?!?!

FIREMAN WITH THE WATER HOSE
