This is the 1990s ELECTRONIC TRACKS AND ALBUMS voting thread. NEW DEADLINE IS OCTOBER 15th, 12PM (GMT) - THERE'S STILL TIME TO VOTE!

I dismissed them because i don't like them

"more than adequately represented"

without Block Rockin Beats, No Good, Firestarter, Midnight in a Perfect World, Justified and Ancient?

but yeah, my knowledge of this thing is very rock/indie/corny crossover. would a 20-track ballot of Eurodance favorites be acceptable?

nominate whatever you like

here you go

nominations:
Block Rockin Beats,
No Good,
Firestarter,
Midnight in a Perfect World,
Justified and Ancient

I'd rather be dancing to a mix of Culture Beat, Corona and Capella than a set of Prodigy, Shadow and Chemical Brothers that's for sure.

prodigy, shadow and chems was dance music for people who didn't like dance music. not that they didn't all have a few gems each.

I don't really agree with that, at least not with The Prodigy... From 1991 to 1994 they definitely did proper dance music that was (mostly) enjoyed by people who liked dance music, it was only with the later rock flirtation and big beat stuff that they started attracting other audiences in large numbers.

Bump.

If you don't mind, I'd like to add another major omission:

2 Bad Mice - Bombscare

my ballot will probably heavy on rave/jungle. really hope the results aren't all boards of Canada dj shadow shit

First ballot received!

Hmmn, cubik by 808 state is here but not pacific state. I think I might end up voting for the latter, actually.

I'd also nominated baby ford and eon - dead eye, but it doesn't seem to be there

I spotted it! But labelled under the non-artist "Changes of Life"

That said my nom of the original mix of renegade snares

I may also break rules to vote for Lil Louis - I Called U (the saxophone heavy mix) which I'd have nominated had I remembered in time.

Just to grumble a bit, seems weird that people are making comments about omissions now. The nomination list was up for some time.

Sorry about the "Dead Eye" mislabeling, that was a copy + paste error. I added the proper the artist name, but Discogs says it's credited to Baby Ford alone. Is this version with Eon some other version of the track?

EDB, "Pacific State" and "I Called You" were both released in 1989, so they're not eligible here.

Wow, two Seefeel tracks and no "Mmm Skyscraper... I Love You" or "M.E."...??? Where the fuck was I during noms ;_;

Like srsly half of my ballot is going to be write-ins #kickingmyself

I also added you nomination of the original version of "Renegade Snares", sorry about missing that.

(x-post)

I'm not gonna accept write-in votes, because that would make vote counting too big a task for me, sorry. However, if you have unused nominations, post them here and I'll add them to the list.

Do the ballots need to be c+p'd directly from the nominations list? I know some poll-runners prefer this.

No, they don't have to be copy-pasted. I don't have any fancy program counting the votes, I do that manually, so it doesn't matter how you write the names as long as I can decipher them.

Ok cool.

Got my albums ballot more or less sorted - gutted at how many great things I had to leave off! Haven't even started on tracks yet. Been really looking forward to this poll.

Xpost: Got you re: pacific state/I got U. Thanks for including my other noms.

I didn't nominate it at the time, but if you wouldn't mind including Reload - La Soleil et La Mer (which I thought I nominated but evidently didn't) I will in fact vote for it (Many times better than anything Ulrich Schnauss did, and many years before)

I'm slowly working my way through the tracks I haven't heard before. I like Ability II - Pressure Dub, whoever nominated that.

An awesome tune.

Atari Teenage Riot - Fuck All on the other hand, is absolute shit. Amon Tobin - Bridge I like, but if that counts then Red Snapper should have done imo.

I feel like had I discovered Source Direct when I was 17 and not like, a month ago, my life would have turned out very different.

(having just discovered Secret Liasons from this poll)

Should I bother taking part if I found the last poll very discouraging? I think that my tastes have wildly diverged from ILM's over the years. Does anyone care? Doubtful. I certainly don't care very much about what a bunch of rockist music industry vets think about underground dance music. Granted, a handful of people here have exceptional taste.

Why are you on ilm then?

I like Ability II - Pressure Dub, whoever nominated that.

― Mountain Excitement (Nasty, Brutish & Short)

wicked track. it crops up beautifully on a Harri mix (that I also nommed in the album poll).

viborg, if you don't then they've already won, etc.

Bump!

So far I've only received three ballots, hoping to get plenty more...

I'll try and post mine today.

Cool!

My tracks one is about 90% done

I'm trying to go through all the track noms on youtube just in case there's some hidden gems that I don't already know. It's taking forever though (and I've only got as far as Bizarre Inc so far).

Tuomas, I know this is a pain, but I didn't nominate anything - can I put them in late? I have been off the internets having a baby and that ...

Lots of great selections!

i would definitely vote for 1 and maybe 4 of those.

also, can somebody confirm if it's really the original version of south street player '(who) keeps changing your mind' in the noms list and not the fresh fruit mix as i'd certainly throw a vote to the latter but not the former.

and who knew the original 'lfo' sounded like that? i thought the leeds warehouse mix was p much the original version, be careful of vote splits folx! vote leeds warehouse!

So, what does the original mix sound like? I can only find Leeds Warehouse. There is a mislabelled Seefeel track on youtube under lfo -lfo.

Yeah I was confused by this. The one on the album is the Leeds Warehouse mix isn't it? Anyway, that's the one I voted for.

ah that explains it, i think i saw the mislabelled youtube. well, that's a bit of a relief. i motion that votes for either lfo-lfo or lfo-lfo(leeds warehouse mix) are considered one and the same. now, for that south street players track...

Just looking at this bit of the list:

Prodigy, The Break and Enter
Prodigy, The Charly (Alley Cat Mix)
Prodigy, The Everybody in the Place (Fairground Mix)
Prodigy, The Fire (Sunrise Version)
Prodigy, The No Good (Start the Dance)
Prodigy, The One Love
Prodigy, The Out of Space
Prodigy, The Voodoo People

Confirms Prodigy were the Nirvana of the rave generation - How am I supposed to leave any of these off??

Never realised all those Prodigy tracks started with the definite article.

Looks like the "Leeds Warehouse Mix" is the original mix of "LFO", or at least I haven't been able to locate any original mix, so I'll remove the other "LFO" from the list.

Citizen Smith's nominations are valid, I'll add them to the list later today.

As for South Streer Player, this is the version D-40 nominated. I'm not familiar with the track, but it appears to be the B side of the original single, not the "Fresh Fruit Mix". I added the "Night Mix" part to its entry, as I seem to have left that out.

please wait for me! gonna send it in 30 menitues

i vote for energy flash and blue lines

I've come down with the flu, so I won't be doing any vote counting today. Or Something and Durrr, you can still send your ballots.

sent!

will send in mine this eve, i swear!

I feel like an ass now. I'd kind of ignored this, assuming it focused on dancefloor-oriented stuff. (Wasn't there a poll like that recently?) I just scanned the albums list and see a tonne of albums I love. Not sure I'll be able to put together a ballot in time though.:( Eager to see the results.

There was a dancefloor-oriented poll for 00s electronic tracks, but this one is more general "electronic music" poll with ambient/chill-out/IDM stuff also included. I probably won't start counting votes until tomorrow around this time (6PM GMT), so if you can come up with a ballot before that, I'll count it in.

cheeky album ballot sent.

I can finish mine 22 hours from now. Would that be ok?

Never mind, just sent it (25 albums, only 33 tracks, but better than nothing). Please let me know if you didn't receive it, Tuomas. Thanks.

think i did 22 albums and 60 songs... something like that.

Thanks for all the voters! I'm still down with the flu, so it'll probably take until next week before I can start rolling the results.

when's this rolling out then?

Could we have a link on this thread when it starts? With the '00 I missed it for the first few days because there wasn't a link. Thanks Tuomas.

I'll try to get it rolling later this week, maybe Saturday.

And yeah, I'll post a link to this thread when it starts.

POSSE! YOU KEEP THE SPIRIT ALIVE! It's the 1990s ELECTRONIC ALBUMS poll results!
