not dance music, but one of my favourite tracks of all time.

i'd completely forgotten how great Booo! was.

Funny it placed this high after I nommed it and there were complaints about it not being dance music. I didn't vote for it and asked that it was removed from the noms sheet but here we are. It would have broken into the top 50 if I had voted for it.
That said this song and that ep in particular is one of my favorite recordings of the past decade.

Thanking U ILM for Inflation.

Really pleased to see Inflation show up, I had it as my number 5 but wasn't sure if it would make the rundown. Had Sun Can't Compare at 4 as well, would actually have expected it to place a little higher.

Earlier on today I stuck on Neighbourhood for the first time in a while - I'd forgotten just how much of a fucking unstoppable groove it has. Good times.Catching up on a couple of bits just now. Love the vocal on the BoC track. In general I've been finding recently that I enjoy BoC a lot more than I used to.

Oh it's this tune. Yeah I've never really liked it I'm afraid.

Thomas Bangalter is an ace name though.

Larry Heard track passed me by somehow. This is good!

Bah! Apparently you people hate joy. "So much love to give" is one of the all time greats. Like being beaten over the head with sunshine.

Just noticed the results are now coming in. This should be good. I didn't vote in this because I don't really know this stuff, but with my recent increased receptiveness to at least some of it, this should be a good list to check out.

couldn't muster enough time and will to send my ballout, but so far i'm loving this list - prob 6 or 7 in here would definitely place, and there are some things i still have to listen. glad to know there's enough love for 'inflation' to place at 69.
also, props to moka for the graphics. they're lovely.

Again having a hard time finding good quotes in the ilxor archives. You guys need to verbalize more your love for these songs.

97. Hatchback - White Diamond (Prins Thomas remix) (159 points, 6 votes)
'White Diamond' is just so perfect, the airy light euphoria makes me feel like I'm floating. Yesterday it struck me just how much White Diamond reminds me of Orbital's Belfast, which has (or at least had, but I don't think it's changed) the same effect on me.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, December 17, 2008
Discovered yesterday that the Hatchback album is really good for wandering round the Natural History Museum in London.

Personally I prefer Atol but the appeal of 'Beautiful Life' is undeniable to me. The bass and synths remind me of New Order and the guitar riff that appears near the end (around 6:40 in this video) even sounds like a sample of them.
― Moka, Wednesday, 22 August 2012 02:45 (twelve years ago) link
Reminding me of New Order is always a great thing in case I wasnt clear.
― Moka, Wednesday, 22 August 2012 02:46 (twelve years ago) link
Beautiful Life is a favourite. I still listen to it on the reg. Also great for running.

agh this is awesome but everything is moving so fast! so much good stuff in here tho, thanks again 2 moka for making this actually happen
― akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 02:58 (twelve years ago) link
Actually thought "Beautiful Life" would be top 20 but my sense of what is "canon" is pretty off, which is why this poll is pretty exciting for me.

Next track I wouldn't really define as dance but dj's (specially kompakt dj's) loved closing their sets with it. Any wild guess?

this is basically for driving next to a beach at dusk, probably in a really nice car and wearing a suit (seersucker? probably a one-button coat, cut low--no tie; the shoes are the most expensive part of the outfit anyway) with your chick next to you (in a really nice dress, hair up & back) and everything's blowing in the wind- max, Sunday, September 2, 2007

Yeah, I'm not sure how it's EDM. I love it, though, and I think the "Mr. Dan's Mix" is one of the best straight-up pop songs of the 00s.

What I love about them as original producers - the sense that on every single occasion they're consciously trying to make the most enjoyable record imaginable. And their ability to mix pop-disco and e-transcendence and that sense of wide-eyed wonder without ever really coming over as twee or cloying or annoying. Whispers is my favourite single of this year by several light years.― Matt DC, Thursday, December 11, 2008
