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.

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.

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)/¯

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.

Okay, never heard 'Orchestra Of Bubbles' before. It is stupendous!!! Thank you ILM<3

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.

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.

No wait, that's the wrong way round.

'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)

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.

That Streets album is hardcore garbage and always has been.

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.

I have a tendency to avoid ubiquitous indie albums so I've never heard this.

(not saying it's an admirable tendency, it just one I have)

I sometimes have it too but then I end up listening out of curiosity and then moaning about it on ILM to the detriment of my SB count

nah what am I talking about she has two top-10 spots in the bag, because ILM is THAT cool ;-)

haha amazing i've just come back from seeing school of seven bells live!!! (they were fab.)
as i was saying to kate during the show, i love that despite their raison d'être being pretty girly harmonies, you can still tell that the deheza sisters are grown-ass women. and as a trio they have such an incredible sense of build and release.
this song is superb
