I like all the tracks that've placed so far, though I voted for none.
I always have to play All Night twice, cause it's so darn short!

I don't think Moth To A Flame is anywhere near Chairlift's best song, but it is (fittingly) really, really addictive. I think the "he's that kinda man, mama" bit is a bit lame but it's a fun hook. CP said she wrote it while trying to learn how to make house music in Ableton https://genius.com/8516003

70 CELLARS "Nighttime Girl" [174 points, 4 votes]https://youtu.be/yPCCioS75jY
― gr8080, Monday, 23 January 2017 15:15 (seven years ago) link
I like the Underworld album and this it's one of the more pleasant things I purchased in the past year but the song I keep going back to and playing over and over is "If Rah", mostly because it bangs but also because for a while my sons would start singing "LUNA LUNA LUNA LUNA" unprompted

Wow, 4 votes got a song into the top 77?
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Monday, 23 January 2017 15:16 (seven years ago) link
Wow, I'm shocked that this Cellars song made it. It was my number three. It's been in my head every day since I heard it back in September. As I said on the voting thread, those rising harmonies in the chorus are so beautiful.

never heard of Cellars.

The album is fantastic. Last year's most underrated album for me.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 23 January 2017 15:21 (seven years ago) link
they sure did drape a nice guitar tone over the shapeless ghost of a song there

Love this! Think it was in my top 3.
― Gavin, Leeds, Monday, 23 January 2017 15:22 (seven years ago) link
This is okay, but again ruined by pointless rock guitar. Would work much better as pure synth pop.

christine and the queens sounds like michael jackson and also like a the quiet bit in one of the world cup songs before there's some big chanting
starboy is soul crushing

"Atomic Number" seems like exactly the kind of thing i'd like but I don't like it. The thudding way they deliver "Symbols of IN-FIN-UDDY"

Glad to see this place. Best thing they've done so far.
warning to Tuomas - it's 100% pointless rock guitar.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 23 January 2017 16:04 (seven years ago) link
Wow, I'm really surprised this made it! The whole album is really worth hearing
― tangenttangent, Monday, 23 January 2017 16:04 (seven years ago) link
Never heard of them before but I like this. Is the rest as Spiritualized-y as this?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 23 January 2017 16:04 (seven years ago) link
nice to see Olatunji though I didn't vote for him
next best so far is Case/Lang/Veirs, which passed me by until multiple people whose taste I trust put it high in their EOY lists; I like this, will get round to the album at some point.
only heard the French version of Christine & The Queens has have been listening to the French version of the album; English version makes it seem more pedestrian, not that I really got into the album much either.
Chairlift - third-tier synthpop from 2004Underworld - lukewarm attempt at last-track-of-the-night emotion from 2004Starboy - The Weeknd has stepped up his game to the level of a song I wouldn't turn off if it came on the radio but wouldn't notice eitherCellars - adequate song but how are ppl into this sort of thing not drowning in '80s pastiche yet
― lex pretend, Monday, 23 January 2017 16:04 (seven years ago) link
not 100% sure that YouTube link is to the correct song (its to where i *think* the track starts on a YouTube for the entire album)- feel free to let me/mods know if not.

Comet Control is the least memorable name for a psych-rock band ever.

Never heard of them before but I like this. Is the rest as Spiritualized-y as this?― Le Bateau Ivre
― Le Bateau Ivre
This is as spaced-out as they've gone on their two albums (or with prior band Quest For Fire). Most other stuff is somewhere between distorted updates of late 60s psych and heavier takes on the early 70s Pink Floyd sound.

Is this Bargain Basements tune on Spotify at all?

gr80 if it's possible to do a mod edit it'd be nice to spell Olatunji's name right for his entry!

The rest isn't quite so blissed-out as this, but the strength of the songs is still there. Try 'Criminal Mystic' - that's the other standout track for me.
― tangenttangent, Monday, 23 January 2017 16:11 (seven years ago) link
It is on Spotify. It isn't about the tune, it's about the SPACE

hearing the Olatunji song in a crowded basement club with an excellent soundsystem was one of the musical highlights of my summer. Shame there was an MC who kept barking the 'I don't know about you' part while holding the mic by the mouthpiece. Still, even he didn't ruin it.
― Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Monday, 23 January 2017 16:21 (seven years ago) link
I gave the Comet Control album a listen after it placed in the metal poll and thought it was decent but I'm not enough of a fan of that particular sound to ever love something like this. I mean I like Spiritualized's first few albums but I don't really have a hankering for *more* of it.
