re: incunabulababapapaoomaumau

You know Incunabula is a real word, right strongo?

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:02 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah i just couldnt remember how to spell it

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:03 (nineteen years ago) link

I think it's maybe a question of the whole Chain Reaction sound being overrated, but that can also be said of Kompakt, Warp, etc.

Hmmmm.....can the same be said of Mo'Wax? Or do they escape such scrutiny? UNKLE was/is certainly overrated.....

that 12 spot could be filled by casino versus japan!

11. DJ Shadow Entroducing

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Draft 7.30 was my favorite electronic album of 2003
-- (milto...)

Well, you don't count. *winky*

stevem otm on Moon Safari, Alex otm on Endtroducing.

It's hard to hear Mo'Wax records through the hum of unbearable smugness they give off.

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Ninja Tune is no better.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:05 (nineteen years ago) link

True.

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:06 (nineteen years ago) link

10. FUTURE SOUNDS OF LONDON - EVERYTHING EVER (except "papua new guinea")

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Mo'Wax Artists Reunion = "Smug-Fest"?

That sounds about right....

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:08 (nineteen years ago) link

9. FSOL - Papua New Guinea

― Lazer Guided Mellow Leee (Leee), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:08 (nineteen years ago) link

8. suck my cock, lee

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:08 (nineteen years ago) link

pole - 1
warp: 1992-present

Them's fighting words.

Also, Come With Us is genius. And while Geogaddi may be better, MHTRTC is also essential. It's not just about "Roygbiv". I mean "Turquoise Hexagon Sun", "Kaini Industries", "Happy Cycling", "Aquarius", . . .

7. Your place or mine?

― Lazer Guided Mellow Leee (Leee), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:09 (nineteen years ago) link

6. Strongo's cock

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:09 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, overrated by your mom

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Although the rare 12" MOW remix of his balls is classic.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Am I at all right in guessing that not-dancefloor-oriented = overrated for some posters?

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:10 (nineteen years ago) link

No, no. Judges also overrule any appearance by "Dead Cities" on this list.....

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:10 (nineteen years ago) link

She's a naive Catholic school girl, man, give her a break.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:10 (nineteen years ago) link

5. dntel - the one with the ambulance on the cover

4. prefuse73 - something something vocal uprock narratives

― m. (mitchlnw), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:11 (nineteen years ago) link

3. THE MOTHERFUCKING POSTAL SERVICE

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:11 (nineteen years ago) link

No, Dead Cities belongs here, though not the Lifeforms EP.

― Lazer Guided Mellow Leee (Leee), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:12 (nineteen years ago) link

THE RACE FOR NUMBER ONE IS ON; WHAT HAVE THE BOYS BEEN SAVING??!!

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:12 (nineteen years ago) link

1; Kompakt. All of it.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:13 (nineteen years ago) link

That was premature.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:13 (nineteen years ago) link

2. Massive Attack Blue Lines

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:13 (nineteen years ago) link

We can make Outkast "electronic" if we try.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:13 (nineteen years ago) link

oooooh Alex!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:13 (nineteen years ago) link

1. portishead - dummy

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Maybe jess is right and it's the Englishman in me that can't take some of these posts.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:14 (nineteen years ago) link

I just put on Sub Rosa vs Kompakt to spite you. (5 xposts)

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:14 (nineteen years ago) link

I was thinking "Blue Lines" might be a Top 5....

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:14 (nineteen years ago) link

blue lines should really be number one

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:15 (nineteen years ago) link

1. portishead - dummy

AARRGH.

― Lazer Guided Mellow Leee (Leee), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Actually, I think Dummy was spot on. And I like some of Dummy.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh wait, jess is right.

― Lazer Guided Mellow Leee (Leee), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:16 (nineteen years ago) link

I was hoping for a stunning more overrated last second record to beat it, jess.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:16 (nineteen years ago) link

I actually agree about Blue Lines though. Mezzanine is a masterpiece but BL gets so dull, esp that 'hymn' at the end. Dummy, however, = undisputably classic. "Wandering Star" is great.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:16 (nineteen years ago) link

...but the only Portishead album to qualify here would be the live one, because the atmosphere at Roseland was just so......Ikea.

.....and don't say "like their music"!

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:16 (nineteen years ago) link

okay, i'll start you off..

K.....

― m. (mitchlnw), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:16 (nineteen years ago) link

...i.....

― m. (mitchlnw), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Dummy!?!? B-b-b-b-but

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:17 (nineteen years ago) link

-1. Global Communication - 76:14

― Lazer Guided Mellow Leee (Leee), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:17 (nineteen years ago) link

...d...oh, i give up.

― m. (mitchlnw), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Music is appalling when you really think about it.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:19 (nineteen years ago) link

the only thing i hate about 'Dummy' is the ORDER - i always listened to it this way:

Mysterons
Sour Times
Strangers
It Could Be Sweet
It's A Fire
Numb
Biscuit
Pedestal
Roads
Glory Box

makes more sense afaiac

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:21 (nineteen years ago) link

the eponymous sophomore is kinda under-rated actually

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Don't tell me you don't listen to "Wandering Star"...

otm mark w/ s/t though
