ILM Tracks Bonus Poll 2019: Ballot-topping tracks with no other votes

i couldn't find the b-ball joints track, some words about the other lonely voter songs:

Phil Merrall - The Planet Bong
pleasant dance house track with an hypnotic groove. very repetitive. not my cup of tea, had to switch off after 2 minutes.

96 Back - celsius loss
electronic track with dance vibes, synthesizer heavy. tuneful, quite varied. i like it, probably in my top 200.

Cass McCombs - Estrella
moody, pretty, airy guitar song. there is something haunting about it. it was in my top 50.

Daniel Olsén, Jonathan Eng & Linnea Olsson - Begin Again
quite bombastic, unmemorable female voice. i hate those computer beats. two minutes and i am off. not my thing.

Identified Patient - Geen Syndrom
okayish slightly spooky dance track with heavy beats. when that monster voice comes in i have to smile. i doubt i will listen to this again.

James Blake - I'll Come Too
what happened to him? like everybody i was totally in love with his early stuff, he seemed to open doors to new rooms. but this is so boring and conventional. and i hear a self-pity there. which i am hopefully imagining. there are even strings on this, disposable stuff.

Joy Crookes - Early
all right hip-hop track which almost sounds like r&b but nothing special.

Madonna - God Control
she is still around? i have never been into her music and this track will not change it. besides that an okayish slight, bouncy dance ballad which is not saved by the voice pitch shifting.

Now, Now - Enda
somehow reminds me of sigur ros. too histrionic. not my thing.

Sasami - Not The Time
my 1st listen. it sounds like an indie rock ballad to me. quite good stuff. top 150?

Shura - The Stage
i quite like this widescreen r&b ballad. nice late night chill out music. would probably be in my top 150 as well.

The Scary Jokes - Death, Thrice Drawn
this starts like a piece by pascal comelade and then turns into an indie ballad. lovely female singer. another top 150 candidate.

The Girl Ray song got stuck in my head each time

i couldn't find the b-ball joints track, some words about the other lonely voter songs:

I linked it above.

its on bandcamp and soundcloud x

sorry, i missed that.

B-Ball Joints - Glass
sounds like an experimental post-punk track. i am happy that there are still courageous people making this kind of music but i won't listen to it again.

aight the gloves are off then your song sucks go back to mainhattan bub

omg this Glass song!!!

awesome. too late for the >2m poll as well alas (like money machine)

uhhh <2m, even

so does that disqualify a song to get into your top list?

In the context of the nominations playlist a month ago it was generally a good thing for a track to leave some sort of memory trace. Vast numbers didn't. I'm not completely sold on the vocal style, but the chord progression and vocal melody (plus woodwind interjections?!) my brain has just conjured all over again remain appealing.

Girl Ray album was (spoiler) high on my albums. I was the "Enda" voter, I'm not familiar beyond a surface level with Sigur Ros and that comparison is wild to me and I would love to hear more about it?

I just realised I saw Sasami on TV maybe two weeks ago introducing the "Not the Time" video, where it (apparently) made more of an impression than in the noms playlist. I guess she toured the antipodes recently. Anyway, I would totally have dug that as a yoof in, like, 1992. Maybe I'll let the synthetic nostalgia sway me here...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

very nice palindromic results

Seems I forgot to vote for mine, but now I find out it was released late 2018 so perhaps it's for the best. Still rad though, shades of Broadcast, Barbara Manning + an instrumental bit that pairs off all my fave string sounds :)
