Yeah just checked that's dissapointing. But well at least Tricky's back as a collaborator in two songs?
Herbie Hancock also credited? Is it a sample?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 16 September 2016 18:32 (seven years ago) link
Anyhoo back to this thread; I agree a Bristol trip hop poll would be great but only including Tricky, Portishead and MA. A full genre poll would take too much time to listen. Tricky's catalogue alone is actually extensive and you have to do digging to find the actual gems, there's many crap, but there's at least an interesting track per album.
I like Nearly God better than Maxinquaye... maybe I overplayed it too much so I prefer the former when I'm in Tricky mood.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 16 September 2016 18:37 (seven years ago) link
Looking at his albums and my my, Tricky has some terrible album covers. I think only MA are interesting media-wise, cool videos, cool artwork. Portishead are also very dull in their imagery but Tricky just has bad taste.

I uh like PMT's artwork.

I'm down for running a NIN poll soon, but at this point I'd be much more excited to run a Bristol trip-hop one as described. Would it be incredibly poor form to switch subjects?

I'd really, really like to do a jungle/drum 'n bass poll. Any interest in that?

― Le Bateau Ivre,
YES. Especially if some hardcore was allowed as well.
― chap, Sunday, 18 September 2016 02:15 (seven years ago) link
I'd totally vote in that! And yeah hardcore/jungle/drum'n'bass (but not later variations like dubstep) would be a proper way to poll it.
― Tuomas, Monday, 19 September 2016 06:49 (seven years ago) link
I agree. There's no denying things were crossing over like that. Dubstep though, nah.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 19 September 2016 10:11 (seven years ago) link
A dubstep and emergent genres could be cool too, maybe a bit tricky to define though.

Bravo to Bee OK for reconsolidating the list - things were getting a little floppy and confusing there.
So, first-ish call for the following folks: Moka, gr8080, Gukbe, Billy Dods, some dude, NickB, C. Grisso/McCain, Raymond Cummings and sleeve - think you'll be in a good spot to tackle your upcoming polls? Any of you in a good spot in the next few weeks, in case the first couple people can't do theirs just yet?

Considering the spirit of ilm is less participatory now than a few years ago, and TMBG was always going to be a niche poll anyway, you may as well drop me off the list for that one next time you revise it.

i would not say things are slowing down, the Smiths tied for the most ballots ever and that was this year. i just think it depends on the poll or artist so i hope you end up not bailing on They Might Be Giants. i'm pretty sure my Talking Heads poll will be really, really popular.

For the soul albums poll I wrote an AutoHotkey script (so Windows only) that imports a folder of ballots and automatically generates the final list. No more manual spreadsheet labor.
If there's any interest, I can post the script somewhere.
