Yeah, I hate "Lose Yourself to Dance."

Enjoying this, the albums results were very much as expected but some nice surprises in the tracks. I've had 4 place so far, and agonised over Derezzed for ages but cut it at the last minute.

Robot Rock is the only HAA track I would have considered voting for, but I agree with kitchen person that it outstays its welcome. The 'Maximum Overdrive' version on the single is surely a piss-take as it's longer still and never drops, just builds and resets.

xp I don't like "Lose Yourself to Dance" either but I bet someone has made an enjoyable remix of it (not that I feel like seeking it out). There's a germ of a great song in it

what a great poll, hadn't heard 'spinal scratch' before it's completely nuts, highest level stuff afaict

It would be OK if the lyrics were improved and someone else sang it. And if the tempo were increased a bit. I like the vocoder bits.

it needs to be remixed by The Avalanches
(whose Music Makes Me High effortlessly achieves what RAM tries to)

Needs a version where the robot voice is replaced with the housekeeper from Father Ted.

Instant Crush is objectively a good song though.

It's objectively a good song that does nothing for me.

Spotify is a collaborated playlist, so if you can find the songs, it would be a great help if people on this board can keep it updated.

Top 40

Bee OK, Thursday, 21 April 2022 16:42 (two years ago) link

Just watching this extra footage from that 1996 rave in Wisconsin. It was always frustrating that the gear was just out of view but at the start here you can see Thomas plugging in the 909.

x-post not to distract from the top 40, just leaving this here.

Amazing images! Voted for a few tracks that showed up in Day 1 including Derezzed, Spinal Scratch, and Contact. Very glad to see those show up.

don't know if anyone else has noticed but this is the first Discovery track to place in this poll.

So it will be the lowest-ranking Discovery track then?

So it will be the lowest-ranking _Discovery_ track then?

It sort of has to be by definition, no?

_36. Giorgio by Moroder_

*TOO LOW*

This feels like their best conceptual track. Where RAM’s other epic, Touch, feels garish and goofy, GbM is sly and wry. From the way Giorgio says “syn-teh-syyyzuhr” and “cleek” to how the song apes the fusion-y pre-I Feel Love Moroder at the beginning before the break, to the title itself, which is a play on a perfume campaign and the Tron-y string breakdown and decidedly un-Moroder-esque drum jam and bass solo that perhaps says something about the freedom he inspired in Our Heroes, it plays on so many levels. I love it.

Naive Teen Idol, Thursday, 21 April 2022 19:25 (two years ago) link

sorry for a hot take, but daft punk were never great when it came to feminine energy, were they? always kind of a boys thing. feel like that's part of why ram is a little turgid.

the cat needs to start paying for its own cbd (map), Thursday, 21 April 2022 19:28 (two years ago) link

I could just be saying it because it was my #1, but Stardust feels at least acceptably androgyne to my ears.

Max Hamburgers (Eric H.), Thursday, 21 April 2022 19:40 (two years ago) link

best Together track
