Is anyone making a Spodify playlist of this? Because it's so frustrating, due to my browser issues, that I can't access YouTube videos at all.

Quite a trip revisiting some of these! Have heard most of these before it seems, which isn’t that surprising seeing as the ILM dance threads are pretty much the only place I find out about new dance music.
Booka Shade sound so much better than I thought they would after not listening to them for a few years! They were always a step ahead sound design wise, everything is so tidy; they had a real unique sound. Glad it still stands up, looking forward to listening to ‘Movements’ again in its entirety!
Hoping Floating Points ‘Love Me Like This’ places; although I do like ‘Vaccum Boogie’ it’s nothing on LMLT. Summer 2009! Rushing 2 Paradise, all those Terje/Leozero/ edits, everything on WEWW, Miura-everywhere, those first Disco Bloodbath parties, Say Yes @ The Star of Bethnal Green, Bill and Frank @ The Horse and Groom, seeing Greg Wilson play for the first time and hearing him drop his re-edit of Prisencolinensinainciuso the week it seemed to go ‘viral’ such a good time for London dancing
Seems I really don’t like pop-dance music anywhere near as much as I used to, all too busy, too cluttered. I think that’s one of the things I love so much about Luomo, that balance between pop and dub is perfect. The Detroit stuff continues to flaw me even though I’ve heard it all a billion times. Koze is still my favourite producer from Germany. Wish the drums on Township Funk didn’t sound so much like off the shelf drum samples.
Really enjoying this list so far!

Crackle Box, your great post reminds me of:
we all fell space since the loft era and the paradise garage. I fellspace and universe every time music gets kosmic and synthetic and shouts body and soul. Then from New york to chicago, over Detroit with gary numan's cars, italian and electronic european cerrone andmoroder things ... All the sounds are compressing and invite us togather, wherever we come from; that is all about with scando-med music. Travel all over the Whord by the extremities. North and south,black and white, find out what common is between krautrock and discoor the possible alliance of rythm. That music is utopic like the hippies were at least.Dreamy and psychedelic, background the Sun of the baléares and the everlasting scandinavian summer !― laure oth, Friday, September 16, 2005 11:51 AM (6 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

He had one come out on the Speicher series that was kind of proto Vitalic 'La Rock' which I wish I'd nommed / voted for; think it may have came out under the adolf noise alias, not sure.

La Rock was 2001? Jeez!! Turns out this came out a few years later, it's great anyway...

like in my head it is universally beloved here idk
it is in my mind one of the less exciting MM tracks, last night i was listening to amerika and it i think it's a better take on the theme

oh god, no way, "J.A.N." is all time. i mean, i don't really know, but that track! also, i don't see as how it's really all that thematically similar to "amerika" (beyond the spoken word bits oc), but maybe i'm missing something.

stuff that's floored me this morning, catching up w the rest of the countdown:
80. Partial Arts - Trauermusik 75. Rex the Dog - Prototype 74. The Fives - What You Do [lol, remember this from last year's year end poll, just great]70. Superpitcher - Mushroom [could listen to this forever]
― contenderizer, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 16:53 (eleven years ago) link
well i think they do mine a similar vein of kdj beatcraft - particularly the "i'll just drop out the beats and flip around the loop a little, then vice versa, then chop between beat and loop and then let them play together" as well as the song being organized into a cluttered front end w lots of edits, stretching out into a groovy backend
i just think JAN has annoying noises

not sure that this is what you mean, CB, but though i've quite liked "we share our mother's health" and "where's your head at" in other contexts, i didn't enjoy listening to them in sequence here. they jumped out as irritatingly busy, impatient and aggressive.
understand that as a novice home listener, i'm certainly not fully understanding this music, but i'm loving the results anyway. thanks to everyone who participated.
― contenderizer, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 16:58 (eleven years ago) link
there was a post i can;t find where i compare and contrast moodymann and theo parrish w/r/t minimalism and style
i think both amerika and jan exemplify the particular take on minimal i'm talking about, but i can't find that post!

http://i.imgur.com/xlbbc.jpg69. Crazy Cousinz - Inflation (181 points, 7 votes) Year: 2009 Youtube: http://youtu.be/8XW0Zgy9InYthe way everything's structured on Inflation is exquisite, working on that snare while those strings and whoops build&then perfect deployment of that xylophone (2009 has been the best ever year for synth xylophone&this is the peak). feels like a breakthrough, stylistically, or at least an awesome detour, i've never heard funky w/that space and tension before, and also it's banging. worthy of anyone's time.― ogmor, Friday, 29 January 2010
Think the reason Inflation is so great is that it's got a tempo and momentum that's just total peak time, especially the rising xylophones that correspond with the "wind up and wind up and wind up" in the Aidonia version. I could totally imagine it working in straight up commercial house sets and even in trance sets if need be. It's got a sort of homespun euphoric e-transcendence feel that you don't get much of in funky.― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Sunday, 7 February 2010

Pretty pumping techy-house with a floor-destroying filtered synth melody that just keeps intensifying the whole way through. It's the latest song I've been sufficiently moved enough by to run up and trainspot it. ― tylero (tylero), Wednesday, September 7, 2005 "Bar-a-thym" is definitely one of THE jump-up-and-down-oh-lawdy-I-can't-get enough-of-this tracks of this decade for me.― matt2, Friday, May 18, 2007 8:23 PM

Funny it placed this high after I nommed it and there were complaints about it not being dance music. I didn't vote for it and asked that it was removed from the noms sheet but here we are. It would have broken into the top 50 if I had voted for it.
That said this song and that ep in particular is one of my favorite recordings of the past decade.

Earlier on today I stuck on Neighbourhood for the first time in a while - I'd forgotten just how much of a fucking unstoppable groove it has. Good times.Catching up on a couple of bits just now.
