Yeah, best wishes Tim. Be healthy.

Oh I'm going home tomorrow, no dramas, just saying that I'm on the case.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 03:58 (twelve years ago) link
Okay, I've voted.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:02 (twelve years ago) link
Ballot in. Left a bunch of stuff I nominated off, rediscovered the Luomo remix of Black Dice's "Smiling Off" and gave that some love instead - good fallback when DJing a mid-00s gallery opening.

I'm going to try and vote tonight but it's probably worth extending the deadline rather than running a poll with a tiny number of voters?
― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Wednesday, 30 May 2012 08:53 (twelve years ago) link
I have a shortlist of 80 now but I agree with extending the deadline because 1000+ nominations is so daunting.
Amazed potential high-placers LCD's Yeah and Katy B's On a Mission aren't in there but I guess I should have nominated them myself instead of kvetching now.
Get well soon Tim.

terrence parker - your love
is from 1996 btw
― coal, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 15:21 (twelve years ago) link
didnt see all the kdjs but j.a.n is 90s also
― coal, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 15:24 (twelve years ago) link
i think "yeah" is not electronic enough and "on a mission" is too pop for our participants
― the late great, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 15:29 (twelve years ago) link
i would consider extending the deadline but i would want a roll call of who needs an extension, so that i know when to start counting ballots.
The thing with a theme like this, unlike a single-artist poll, is that there are so many factions - there are producers, labels, even genres I've ignored entirely and I'm sure that will be the case for a lot of voters, so you need a certain number of voters before any meaningful overlap will occur. I can see most of my tracks dying a lonely death if there are less than 20 ballots.
― Get wolves (DL), Wednesday, 30 May 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago) link
just sent in my ballot too. at some point I had to stop splitting hairs between adjacent tunes out of the 50 and hope for approx current favour/ranking within around 10 spots, except for the all important Top 5/Top 10. loved hearing (relistening to) many of these tunes again!

^this

i'll have one in within the next couple of hours. surprisingly happy with it. ps. midi rain 'always' was a biggish revival tune for ellen allien amongst others but is from like 1991.

I vote for extension

so do I
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 22:41 (twelve years ago) link
whatever i just scanned the list and made a shortlist of the ones i could hum (about 75) and then just got rid of the microhouse
― the late great, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 23:04 (twelve years ago) link
ok here is something i am thinking - in the meantime, could we crowd-source the composer and label for each track?
then we could also tabulate top artists and top labels
― the late great, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 23:08 (twelve years ago) link
For whatever it's worth, even though I'm a fan of Avalanches/Basement Jaxx/Daft Punk/The Knife/LCD Soundsystem, I'm probably gonna leave that stuff off.
― Never translate Dutch (jaymc), Wednesday, 30 May 2012 23:09 (twelve years ago) link

yes.

I've got swept up in a lot of stuff this week I didn't count on. I can still dash one off but it won't be as considered as I'd like. So yes, an extension if at all possible.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Thursday, 31 May 2012 02:16 (twelve years ago) link
extension would be great

plie-se extend
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Thursday, 31 May 2012 06:15 (twelve years ago) link
Gonna hit the original deadline I think (a bit of a rarity for me in all aspects of life!)
Inflation really stands up I think, what an atmosphere that track has, it's very, ahem, cough, cinematic.
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 31 May 2012 09:05 (twelve years ago) link
some how i never noticed this until now. but no 'love story'? pffft.

Ahhh, I knew I should have nominated something from Shut Up and Dance!
― Boy Georbison (EDB), Thursday, 31 May 2012 09:28 (twelve years ago) link
I kind of hate Mathew Jonson, but I'm finding it really hard to remove Marionette from my list, despite it being a completely joyless experience to dance to.
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 31 May 2012 09:30 (twelve years ago) link
Removing it 'cause I've got so many Cobblestone Jazz tracks in there and I much prefer those to dance to.
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 31 May 2012 09:40 (twelve years ago) link
there's always typerope!
― Boy Georbison (EDB), Thursday, 31 May 2012 09:52 (twelve years ago) link
done! that was emotional.
― tpp, Thursday, 31 May 2012 10:46 (twelve years ago) link
Nah, that went out far earlier. I find his solo stuff a little too dry. If there was any solo effort of his I'd pick, it would be this remix:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CFL60yk0rw
Anyway, this was super tough, but going through the list brought up a few "so THATS what that track was called" moments and a few new discoveries. These are the closest eleven to making it, that I had to cut off in the end.
kassem mosse - 12 a1 akufen - deck the house donato dozzy - gol akufen - skidoos efdemin - lohn & brot mosca - bax blawan - getting me down cottam - 003b mala - anti war dub instra:mental - end credits fish go deep - the cure and the cause (dennis ferrer remix)

sooo will this get extended or not? because I feel sleepy and I want to make my ballot tomorriw
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Thursday, 31 May 2012 11:28 (twelve years ago) link
Extend it over the weekend, but no further, please! I'd love to see the results next week.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 31 May 2012 11:34 (twelve years ago) link
Surely anyone who's interested in the poll can write down a list of 50 tracks over one weekend? It took me like 30 minutes to come up with my ballot.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 31 May 2012 11:35 (twelve years ago) link
I have to say I don't really see the point in posting in a poll like this if you're not interested in spending some time listening to tracks you are unfamiliar with, but I guess people have their own reasons.
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 31 May 2012 12:52 (twelve years ago) link
I'm having enough trouble whittling down the tracks I loved at the time to worry about taking on new ones.
― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Thursday, 31 May 2012 13:06 (twelve years ago) link
More fun to discover things in the countdown imo.
