that should be "the period essential period mix period 77 at gmail dot com"

Oh now I get why it's bumping it back.

ok sent. hope it gets there.

i see jaymc nominated this terrible digitalism track

Haha, I was actually surprised that it didn't get any blowback earlier.

Thanks Tuomas. I just bought that Αλλού CD..

ok cool, all of the things people have pointed out have been fixed (except removing bros and digitalism)

thanks all for your help

three ballots are in - everyone ranked theirs 1-50, i assume?

Thanks Tuomas. I just bought that Αλλού CD..

Not a bad choice! The tracks are kinda samey (except for two that have a more electro/hip hop flavour), but the vibe is rather unique, and if you like that vibe, the album's consistently good.

Yeah mine are ranked at least the top 20 are the rest were picked more randomly. There's 7 of pattern's votes in mine. 22 in my shortlist.

Αλλού means 'elsewhere'

also ordered this CD

will do my ballot this afternoon, it's so grey and shitty here i fear everything i vote for will have (superpitcher remix) in brackets after it

yo this better not be some more daft punk bullshit

Now that I've posted my awful gay homo house list the rest of you are free to vote for that really real shit.

I want to see nothing that wasn't made by a black man in Detroit or Chicago in the Top 20 people.

You didn't vote for any awful gay homo house though.

Shame on you.

Whoa, when I nominated that Αλλού track, I didn't expect people would actually get interested in the record. That's great! :)

X-post But, but Ewan Pearson! And DJ Sprinkles!

Sigh, people around here have very high standards.

And Felix Da Housecat!

I admit I didn't vote for any Freemason's remixes but I did my best.

Which of awful, gay and/or homo is ewan pearson?

I don't know I'm not speculating about the man's sexuality, but that Goldfrapp remix is not terribly hetero.

Perhaps it's DJ Naughty's contribution to it, I believe he had co-writing credit on that one.

Trust DJ Naughty.

Somewhere within me the nerdy whiteboy Moodymann fan is in a deadly struggle against the Euro electrohouse loving DJ.

Chinbeard vs. body wax? Truly an epic struggle.

If you were truly an awful gay homo you would know that you can have both a chinbeard and a body wax.

Sorry, I'm being distracted by Tuomas' Greek thing at the moment. And I'll consider my awful gay homo status revoked.

I've got a lot of High NRG I need to sell, anybody want my Patrick Cowley records?

I need to go to sleep, please carry on.

can't stand terre sprinkles so i intentionally defaced one of his entries

When you move on to a new thread, can you put a link on the old thread (as I've just done)? Some of us just check bookmarked threads 90% of the time, rather than scanning all the new answers. Cheers.

thank you again NBS

Sweet Like Chocolate was 1999, I think

got four ballots now

sweet like chocolate deleted

lol i forgot theo parrish. OH WELL

you want to send me a revised ballot feel free

no it's already pipecockian enough tbh

here's who i got so far

> pattern loader
> lamp fyi
> moka
> matt p

please don't let their awful taste ruin this poll!

VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN

;-)

Azzido Da Bass is 90s

I love 'Barbara Morgenstern', but it's not really danceable is it? Maybe I'm wrong. Don't want to open up that debate again though!

Exactly my thoughts on Barbara Morgan's turn too.

ok i'll get those when i get back from lunch

done, done and done

barbara morgenstern fans feel free to make a case for re-inclusion

Well, there's plenty of other stuff on the list that's not danceable: Deepchord, Voices from the Lake, Fever Ray, The Fires of Ork, Panda Bear, Pole, etc. So if you want to remove Barbara Panther, you should remove all those others too.

Don't want to open up that debate again though!

ok tuomas i removed fever ray, fires of ork, panda bear and pole

motion to remove deepchord and vftl rejected

anything else you want removed?

motion to remove deepchord and vftl rejected

Why? They aren't any more danceable than the Barbara Morgenstern tracks I nominated.

why? common sense, that's why.

now use those down votes sparingly tuomas, i'm going to weigh any other requests you have very carefully, four down votes is a hell of a lot more than i intend to give anyone else, so consider yourself lucky.

What "common sense"? What does that even mean?

we already know you don't know, tuomas, don't beat a dead horse

FWIW, I'm not for removing anything from the list; I don't really like the idea that this poll should correspond to a specific aesthetic of electronic music that's defined by the bobbins crew, and that stuff that's outside this aesthetic gets removed, even though people had nominated those tunes.
