Good work! My number 1. You can blame me. It gets me every time.

I had fun doing this. Hope you enjoyed it and found something worthwhile in here. Also sorry if I chose weird hours to publish the winners, I've been having a busy month. Here's the full list of results:

If Tessio had won the poll we would have had Luomo at both ends. Think about it.

i like both, i keep the Janet 12" next to R&B Drunkie in the box. i have been playing the Janet much more often recently.― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr)
haha that's soo not my quote.
anticlimactic #1 in my eyes but can't argue with that.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 06:11 (eleven years ago) link
The three versions of "Blind" had ~688 points if added together, which would have secured it #3; the two versions of "Flowers" had ~375, bumping it up to #17.
Wouldn't have guessed most of this top 10; can't complain and I've already discovered some pretty big blind spots. Thanks so much, Moka/TLG!

For a while Jurgen Paape had the top spot. I think most of the voters got confident about it placing at the top and it got affected by it. Noone gave it a 1st place vote and from what I recall half of the ballots that had the song gave it less than 20 points.
I'll do heresy against these results but I've never really understood the appeal of 'I Feel Space'. I don't see it working on a dancefloor (or at least it failed miserably that one time I heard it on a club) and it's not layered enough to be 'trip' music. I love Lindstrom and I think the track is ok but I would never rate it top 10 of the 00s.
― Moka, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 06:19 (eleven years ago) link
My number one, too. Did I miss it, or did Dexter not place?
― toby, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 06:20 (eleven years ago) link
(also, looking back at my ballot, due to a c+p error I think I voted for "Poney pt 1" twice, heh)
xp Dexter's #21.

Definitely heard it working at Fabric back in the day, fwiw.
xp thanks, totally missed that!
I don't think I know the Juan Maclean track, either. Surprised to find two things in the top ten that I don't know!
― toby, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 06:21 (eleven years ago) link
Anyhoo, speaking as a casual observer I think this might be one of my favorite polls on ILM, results-wise. There were lots of pleasant surprises throughout, a couple of things I overlooked and which I've kept repeating all week, the top 10 wasn't all that predictable and overall I didn't really hate any of the songs that made it.
― Moka, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 06:22 (eleven years ago) link
Oh yeah, there were some ballots that had double-votes and song that were not on the noms list. I didn't count those. (Which means I did count the higher vote and removed the lower double).
― Moka, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 06:24 (eleven years ago) link
I really hate the lyrics/vocals of tessio. I mean, the vocal production or w/e soundsamazing of course, but the words are so terrible.
― check my slipknot shred on youtube (blank), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 06:27 (eleven years ago) link
i'm trying to write a "most overhyped record of year" thing about this for my neglected blog, but i barely even understand why people are hyping this in the first place, which is making it really hard to explain how it's been over-hyped.OK "i feel space" is fine (if you missed out on faze action and yellow sox and the rest of the great lost first and second wave of space-disco on nuphonic and u-star and versatile and discfunction and repap in the first place) but this album ... GAH ... it really IS fila brazilia all over again!
― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 5 January 2006 10:34 PM (6 years ago) BTW in one month it is the TENTH ANNIVERSARY of the release of faze action's "in the trees", dig it out if you need to (although i've always had it on hand for the TEN YEARS) and it'll take your head off.that single is ETERNAL and PERFECT like the first NEU album or like "in the light of the miracle". we'll see if people remember lindstrom a year from now.
also, while you are at it, dig out yellow sox "flim flam", another space disco track from ten years ago that ruins all nu-nu-space-disco pretenders.

I don't believe that anyone intentionally voted for the OG "Flowers" - it wasn't even released as a single. Could this have been a mistake of someone accidentally nominating the original and then people accidentally voting for it?
― Tim F, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 06:28 (eleven years ago) link

as usual this is always the silliest prediction to make.

Given the rise of edits culture in the second half of the 00s this actually makes perfect sense to me.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 6:28 AM (6 minutes ago)
Guilty as charged - turns out the version I know / thought was the original is, in fact, an edit of the Sunship mix - thank poorly labelled bargain-bin garage/2-step cassettes/CDs and Slsk for me being under this impression for over a decade. I actually can't seem to find the original "Flowers" to see what it sounds like - the version on both the SFA album and the single is the Sunship remix.
― etc, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 06:37 (eleven years ago) link
yeah I assumed it was the sunship rmx as well
xp interesting point
― check my slipknot shred on youtube (blank), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 06:46 (eleven years ago) link
yeah but i still think faze action and yellow sox are better than windstorm
― the late great, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 06:47 (eleven years ago) link
lindstrom
it would not have been a silly thing to say if people had forgotten about lindstrom tim
Yeah ok I'm definitely down with R&B junkie being the highest ranked edit here, now that I think of it in that way.

Even though I can agree with "In The Trees" being better, like anyone was ever going to forget the most "overhyped record of the year".
I feel the same about "Hyph Mngo" (vis a vis, oh, say, DJ Abstract's "Touch") but I still expect it to top lots of retrospective "dance tunes of 2009" lists in the future.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 07:32 (eleven years ago) link
i am not sure i know that track though the name rings a bell, I think maybe i heard oneman or fourtet play it

OK, this has been a very fun (and very very ILM) list, and the Spotify playlist has lightened my days immensely.
Thanks for compiling and posting, Moka!
I feel bad now that I didn't vote, but I feel quite happy and comfortable with that number one.

Surprised to see how many I know. Must have been keeping up better than I thought.
Do we get to see individual ballots at any point?

Were any of those MFA votes (including the first place vote) supposed to be for the remix? Not sure I've ever heard the original, guess it could also be really good?
Agreed that all of the Flowers votes were surely for the remix, though.
― toby, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 09:18 (eleven years ago) link
Is it okay to post our ballots then? Here was mine. I take it "Body Rock" comes under the banner of verboeten non-house/techno tracks which was why I seemed to be the only person who voted for it.

I'm surprised that no one else besides me voted for Ellen Allien's "Sehnsucht"! To me that tune is massive, clearly better than that Ellen Allien & Apparat tune that placed (which is not bad itself). Was there no ILM buzz about that tune? I remember when I played Berlinette for the first time, and "Sehnsucht" came on, I was like "holy shit, this is epic!". Even though the rest of the album is good too, it never quite reaches the same heights.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 09:25 (eleven years ago) link
my number 1 came 291st :( who else voted for 'quetzal'?
― second only to popcorn (or something), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 09:26 (eleven years ago) link
xpost Goes to show that with dance music very often the consensus is that there's little consensus - whether a track lifts you or not is often entirely down to subjectivity and setting.
― Remember you can talk to me any time, asshole (dog latin), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 09:27 (eleven years ago) link
