Mo' Wax's Headz: A Soundtrack Of Experimental Beathead Jams: the poll!

Tranquility Bass for me.

I was living in Glasgow when this came out and I remember somebody coming over to the flat I always hung out in, having just bought this on vinyl, and removing it from his carrier bag kind of reverentially and explaining to us what it was and why we needed to listen to it. I think we thought it was sort of wet shite at the time tbh lol

In/Flux was something genuinely new to me and still is classic. But yes this isn't the 'right' version?

I want to vote for La Funk Mob but based on the Richie Hawtin mix on the same EP.

I have to shamefully say, I was removing Mox wax compilations from plastic bags in Glasgow in the mid/early nineties and reverentially explaining them to people.

but luckily, I never had Headz and was living in Stirling when Heads2 came out.

voted Old Scottish, as that was a standout track in the Mo Wax Excursions vinyl set.

This is one of my favorite compilations. I disagree that the Shadow songs stand out among the rest. The quality remains consistent throughout this compilation. At different times, Contemplating Jazz, Don't Fake It, Time Has Come, Wildstyle, They Came In Peace, and a handful of others have been my favorites. I bought this on CD In the plastic card wallet when it was released. Chose the ltd CD of Headz instead of the deluxe 2cd version of Throbbing Pouch, which I still don't have. I think I made the right choice, but Throbbing Pouch is classic too.

removing anything reverentially from a plastic bag and explaining it to ppl is NAGL

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

So difficult. What a great comp. Voted Don't Fake It

M.F. Outa 'National - Miles Out Of Time (Astrocentric Mix 'N' Beats)

I was late to the party so Headz 2 was my jam. Got so lost in that thing. Might need to poll it next.

Oh, missed that there was already a 2a poll. Yeah, 2b needs the treatment.

go for it! might be worth seeing how many votes this poll gets, there's been a fair bit of chat

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

I didn't actually vote for the track that I pledged for but the ae track is truly great. The shadow tracks are very obviously the best, let's face it, and they didn't win because people were voting for not the obvious best, but the one(s) that needs more attention.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I voted for the track I liked the best. A lot of DJ Shadow's stuff leaves me cold to be honest.

Lowride is a super track regardless.

i forgot to vote, but i wouldn't have voted for "lowride", not because it's not an incredible track but because i feel like in these mo'wax polls one should only vote for mo'wax tracks, not licensed tracks

a write-in for "don't fake it"
