max tundra remains one of the worst things I've ever heard.

Heheh I guess astounding may be a little far, but be warned I get into Lex-gushing-over-Ellen-Allien-mode with Max Tundra.

Daft Punk in 2007 was probably the greatest live show that I have ever attended. The album did the show as much justice as a recording of it is going to do.

agreed. i saw them in a PLANE HANGAR on that tour. i really don't think there's a better venue for those guys

yeah thats the one I was at. in Toronto. was amazing. I have to throw that album a vote in all of these polls.

Lex-gushing-over-Ellen-Allien-mode
none of Lex's gushing over Orchestra of Bubbles is unwarranted, it really is amazing and deserves any praise and attention it gets.

listening to the Max Tundra track LJ posted right now, so far it sounds like insane noodling. it is calling to memory these weird videos they distracted us with in preschool with magic tricks and people riding roller coasters and stuff.

slowing down now, and lyrics now, hehe, funny.

sorry, ending liveblogging now.
xpost that hyphenated adjective of mine wasn't a knock on Lex, it's just this sense of being so hopelessly in love with an album or artist that your posts look and sound a certain way.
But this idea of being 'warranted', so certain albums are communally accepted as gush-worthy, while another person's enthusiasm for something is somehow bunk?
― Davek (davek_00), Thursday, 8 July 2010 18:39 (fourteen years ago) link
uh, i just meant that i support lex's enthusiasm for that album
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 8 July 2010 18:42 (fourteen years ago) link
Okay okay sorry no beef :)

I dropped the Rachel Stevens album from my ballot at the last second. Looking at it now I'm wondering why I did. Good to see it here though.
Two of my noms that did make it: Amy and Madonna. The only two pop albums I voted for in the end.

:( It got my vote at least, but if it was gonna appear I would have thought it would've been by now. 'Trill' would be up there with my most played songs of the last 5 years I think.
― Eljero Elia Michele (pandemic), Thursday, 8 July 2010 18:47 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah if trill made the singles list then maybe the suggestion would be less lol. that song is dope.

Just dropped in, really happy to see Kelley Polar make it - I rate that album way over Hercules and Love Affair, The Juan Maclean or any of the other big indie synthdisco albums of the past few years. I guess we won't get "I Need You to Hold on While the Sky Is Falling" then?
That makes me 1/40 so far then.
Listening to Orchestra of Bubbles now; I've previously been unsuccessful at really getting into "crossover" minimal techno that everyone else loves, like The Field or Donncha Costello, but this is really nice. Or does this even still count as minimal?
― seandalai, Thursday, 8 July 2010 19:37 (fourteen years ago) link
the field was kind of a weird thing to cross over since it was basically a one-trick album
We Are Monster worked a lot better as a crossover mnml album i think since it really showed off the variety of sound that's possible while staying mostly within the bounds of a genre that your average rock/pop music fan might have assumed was all samey
― ciderpress, Thursday, 8 July 2010 19:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.
― seandalai, Thursday, 8 July 2010 19:55 (fourteen years ago) link
i wouldn't call Orchestra of Bubbles minimal, idk how to categorize it really. soft-techno?
you should give Donnacha Costello another chance, Colorseries is all-time classic imo.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 8 July 2010 19:57 (fourteen years ago) link
so far the first real gem that this poll has exposed to me are these come and get it youtubes. people calling her boring makes perfect sense imo, i mean her name is rachel stevens ffs.
― young monet (samosa gibreel), Thursday, 8 July 2010 20:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Davek's gushing over Max Tundra/Parallax is totally warranted, and I did my part as a voter, but yeah, it's looking unlikely at this point. ¯\(°_0)/¯
― ILM was hip and suddenly it became outdated (Paul in Santa Cruz), Thursday, 8 July 2010 20:09 (fourteen years ago) link
The fact that I couldn't get into Colorseries was what made me conclude that minimal maybe just isn't my genre. I can tell it's well-composed and sometimes I get into it a bit but I find it very difficult to engage on a pleasurable level. Oh well, anyway...let's get back to moaning about Daft Punk.
― seandalai, Thursday, 8 July 2010 20:11 (fourteen years ago) link
Okay, never heard 'Orchestra Of Bubbles' before. It is stupendous!!! Thank you ILM<3
― Eljero Elia Michele (pandemic), Thursday, 8 July 2010 21:02 (fourteen years ago) link
glad to see love songs of the hanging gardens made it. impeccably crafted grooves. i can see how the dude's voice might put some people off, though.

I haven't had internet access over the last few days so missed the start of this. I am so delighted that Art Brut made the list. It's by far my favourite album of the last decade.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 8 July 2010 21:25 (fourteen years ago) link
impeccably crafted grooves.
Those handclaps would work on almost anything, but this track is made all the more awesome in the way you can pick apart each element. It almost feels like a live performance.

'Trill' would be up there with my most played songs of the last 5 years I think.
i'm lukewarm on that clipse album but "trill" is incredible, yes
it's pretty sui generis, though it comes from two producers who basically work within the micro/mnml field. colorseries is definitely a very pure form of mnml tho.
orchestra of bubbles >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the field (insert many more >s in there)
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 8 July 2010 21:38 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, Colorseries is one of the best album length examples of minimal that i recommend when friends want to get into it. Studio 1 also comes to mind but i think its harder to get into.

I've contemplated doing an alt 00-04 once all this is over. maybe after the metal/hard rock polls.

i've been treating it as a given that Hell Hath No Fury will place -- Pitchfork has way more relevance in this poll than the rolling rap thread crew that didn't even all vote (tempted to count the Best New Music selections when the poll is over). assuming we'll also see Underground Kingz, BlaQKout, King, Fischscale, maybe a few others in addition to the Kanyes.
