Certain that the guitar solo in the outkast song about midway through is a direct homage.
― Davek (davek_00), Saturday, 8 May 2010 17:19 (fourteen years ago) link
It seems like the proggiest rap album ever made? I mean this in an ott, colourful, anything goes (even in the same song you could end up w/ like 30 different elements working seemlessly) kinda way w/ solos and shit. So yeah maybe P-Funk more than prog...

(I said Stank not because it is awes tho but because bob won the pitchfork singles poll and that'll make it easier for indie boys to put in w/ their wilco or whatever.)

DefJux = probably Rap's equivalent of Prog.
― Davek (davek_00), Saturday, 8 May 2010 17:24 (fourteen years ago) link
Seriously two genres of music that haven't been hybridised yet: rap + prog. Although, did you guys catch that Pink Floyd (doubtful prog credentials and all) rap beats album?
― Davek (davek_00), Saturday, 8 May 2010 17:27 (fourteen years ago) link
i said mainstream! oh wait no i didn't. i meant to. proggiest mainstream rap album.
― tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Saturday, 8 May 2010 17:27 (fourteen years ago) link
No. How fucking horrible was it like every other [classic rock act] + [no name beat maker wants to be written up in Q/Mojo] album?

See for yourself. Pretty amusing/entertaining (if not *good*) actually:

Chipmunk soul Clare Tory!
I don't listen to PF these days but I always loved this song. The chord sequence is so so lovely.

Have definitely been getting into Def Jux/Edan/cLOUDDEAD much, MUCH more readily than mainstream hip-hop :/

thanks!!! not to blow my own trumpet but you guys have given me plenty to listen to as well. the poll's entire premise is that the 90's were freaking awesome (like, more so than you might think if you idly mused on 'the 90's' as a musical decade) and it's lived up to that premise with honours
― coalition to me (acoleuthic), Monday, 10 May 2010 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah. Definitely my fav music poll so far on ilx. Great job. The miscalculations only made it better.
― Fetchboy, Monday, 10 May 2010 16:36 (fourteen years ago) link
the miscalculations cancelled each other out in the end tbh
― coalition to me (acoleuthic), Monday, 10 May 2010 16:37 (fourteen years ago) link
this is without a doubt my favorite of all the ILX results threads. nobody was complaining, and these albums are sick.
― billstevejim, Monday, 10 May 2010 16:45 (fourteen years ago) link
might do some additional analysis in a bit
― coalition to me (acoleuthic), Monday, 10 May 2010 16:46 (fourteen years ago) link
'most Greatest Contributor:'
'most pulled quotes' (this will be won by H3lgeson)
etc
Yeah, brilliant work lj. I'm more of a consensus effort man myself than one for the crazily all-over-the-place rundown, but this was every bit as much fun - and your #2 gave me the best laugh ever, when I realised it was for real.
One thing I think it really shows is how important it is that people actually get the fingers out and vote in these things. Each one really does make a difference, y'know?
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 10 May 2010 16:53 (fourteen years ago) link
nobody was complaining

there was more tuomas-friendly music than in every other ilx decade poll combined
― coalition to me (acoleuthic), Monday, 10 May 2010 16:58 (fourteen years ago) link
and yeah another point was to make it that every single ballot made a big difference!
― coalition to me (acoleuthic), Monday, 10 May 2010 16:59 (fourteen years ago) link
TS: Geir complaining about lack of Geir-friendly music vs. Tuomas complaining about lack of Tuomas-friendly music.

Lots to chew on LJ, good work, still gutted that I missed the boat, loving the Shiina Ringo ending too!
― double shyamalan (MaresNest), Monday, 10 May 2010 17:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Er, you might do well to check the original 90s polls - that was when ILX tastes and my tastes converged the most. My complaint wasn't about the lack of electronic music per se (as this poll had many fine electronic albums), I was just wondering why there was so little dance music in this poll, even though it was represented quite well in the OG poll. IMO the 90s were the best decade ever for dance music, and I felt like ILM has kinda changed in its appreciation of 90s dance between 2004 and 2010. (And like I mentioned, this is probably due to ILX becoming more dominated by Americans, who were less exposed to dance music in the 90s than Europeans.)
― Tuomas, Monday, 10 May 2010 17:25 (fourteen years ago) link
But I still expect the alternate 90s tracks poll to have plenty of dance - otherwise I might just loose my faith in ILM.
― Tuomas, Monday, 10 May 2010 17:26 (fourteen years ago) link
what are your favourite 10 dance albums of the 90's tuomas, i would like to hear them
― coalition to me (acoleuthic), Monday, 10 May 2010 17:26 (fourteen years ago) link
or at least hear what they are. then i might listen to some of them.
hahahhaha well, there was way less complaining than usual.. I wasn't bothered by it. And all the best electronic albums were already included in the previous 90's poll (3 underworld albums!)
― billstevejim, Monday, 10 May 2010 17:31 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't know if these are the ten BEST, but here are ten good ones:
T-99: Children of ChaosThe Prodigy: ExperienceEon: Void DwellerBizarre Inc: EnergiqueAltern8: Full On... Mask HysteriaThe Shamen: En-TactSpeed Limit 140+ BPM Vol 3: The JointBest of Techno Volume 3Kaos Theory 2XL Recordings: The Third Chapter - Breakbeat House
― it means "EMOTIONAL"! (HI DERE), Monday, 10 May 2010 17:33 (fourteen years ago) link
also yeah, Underworld's Beaucoup Fish and the Fluke album with "Atom Bomb" and "Absurd" on it and the Chemical Brothers albums and the Moby albums etc etc etc
― it means "EMOTIONAL"! (HI DERE), Monday, 10 May 2010 17:34 (fourteen years ago) link
n.b. I was bang into The Prodigy as a wee youth, and also The Chemical Brothers, so I'd not be remotely averse to scratching deeper
― coalition to me (acoleuthic), Monday, 10 May 2010 17:34 (fourteen years ago) link
In that vein, I dig Propellerheads a lot. There's also pre-Discovery Daft Punk (ie, when they were still awesome French house music), Remedy by Basement Jaxx, all those demented Interactive singles (search for "Elevator Up and Down" and "Dildo"), 2 Unlimited (no really! esp. "Twilight Zone" and "Tribal Dance"), early Lords of Acid ("Darling come heeeere....") and the acts related to them (Praga Khan, MNO, Digital Orgasm, Channel X, Jade 4 U, Phantasia, etc)
― it means "EMOTIONAL"! (HI DERE), Monday, 10 May 2010 17:40 (fourteen years ago) link
Most of them were already mentioned in my ballot, but here's a tentative top 10:
Paperclip People – The Secret Tapes of Dr. EichHardfloor – The Best of HardfloorMarusha – RavelandUltramarine – Every Man and Woman Is a StarHell – Munich MachineInnerzone Orchestra – ProgrammedOmni Trio – Haunted Science4 Hero - Parallel UniverseKhan & Walker - RadiowavesSyrinx 2600 - Docking -20s
Out of these, you might enjoy Munich Machine, Programmed, Radiowaves, Docking -20s. You probably won't like Raveland nor Parallel Universe. The rest, I have no idea.

― Tuomas, Monday, 10 May 2010 17:41 (fourteen years ago) link
As far The Prodigy goes, I think Music for the Jilted Generation is their best, probably the one LJ would like the most too.
― Tuomas, Monday, 10 May 2010 17:42 (fourteen years ago) link
agreed
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 10 May 2010 17:43 (fourteen years ago) link
Tuomas did you like any of the electronic stuff I voted for? There must be some common ground somewhere!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 10 May 2010 17:44 (fourteen years ago) link
Also, Sheep on Drugs, Mark Ink, Burger Industries, selected Speedy J tracks ("Borax" particularly), the first Panacea album, the original Omni Trio releases (stay AWAY from Haunted Science, it really sucks), etc etc
xp: of course Tuomas likes Haunted Science over The Deepest Cut
