The best xltronic artist of 2003 was Aphex Twin after a really hard battle against Autechre... but which is the best Xltronic album of ever? Maybe Selected Ambient Works vol.II, maybe Chiastic Slide, maybe Hard Normal Daddy, maybe Double Figure or Astrobotnia. If i will have enough energies (and your support) i could prepare another Xltronic competition similiar to the last, but different. \/\/. |

You could... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
hardcore dude youd have voters dropping out if you made it a knockout championship, its gonna be vast |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so this is just for electronic type music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do it! Allow people to nominate 10 albums then use that list as a starting point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aren't there too many albums, or are you going to limit yourself to for instance no more than any given number per artist? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

That would be a competition between hundreds of albums... the math would be very complicated :-p I predict there'll be dozens of albums only mentioned by 1 person, so only getting one point. The list will become seemingly endless. And you know druqks would win anyway. I believe there have been polls about the best RDJ-album, and your recent poll about the best idm-artist :-p RDJ turned out to be the favourite artist, and druqks his best album. This obviously (?) means most people on this board will vote druqks. |

My favorite AFX release is prolly classics or SAW 85-92. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how about you only list albums mentioned by 5 or 10 people... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Another consideration is that sometimes the boundary between an EP and an album is blurred, so maybe it should be for all releases, not just albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my idea is: in the qualifications we should choose our 3 or 4 favs albums of the more prolific artists (as afx and ae), and then 2 or 1 for the others. After this qualifications we will have 24 best names and we can go with the same formula of xltronic championship. BTW: ONLY ALBUM, NOT EP i.e. autechre: incunabula amber tri repetae chiastic slide ep7 (i'd consider an album) lp5 confield draft7.30 Are 8 names, best 3 or 4 get the qualification for the championship. It will be not so difficult, imo. Then the same for AFX, Squarepusher, Plaid, µziq, BoC, Luke Vibert, Ovuca, etc... |
||||||||

|
|
with the important support of the king of math and stats, nacmat it would be easier ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but it would need a lot of free-time and resources so i'm not sure... :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Please do it! i loved that competition! hope you can find enough time to create it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i loved anything from ovuca other than lactavent.....that album blew |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Having it restricted to only albums kinda puts AFX out of the competition. Most of his best work was on EP's. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not agree, ep by afx aren't so good imo (i'm thinking to donkey rhubarb, ventolin series, etc...). ep by Ae are more beautiful compared to them (garbage, envane, chichlisuite), etc... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on ep and girl/boy ep are aweosme! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
See, there's a problem already. You consider EP7 an album, I don't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then there is AB2 and 4. Along with HAB. And CTD. All these are EP's and are great. How could one not inculde Windowlicker? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I supoport this idea! woofer we can do it... together nothing is too much for us |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sawII has a strong chance of winning |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess i'd go with caustic window compilation |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just try and sort some form of competition out, and those who don't like the way it's done just have to prove they can do it better... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for me its confield |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd say come to daddy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Why dont you only allow votes for the best album from the top winners. So that would narrow down the choices and only allow you to vote amongst the best: afx,sqpusher,ae, etc. Choose from the top 10 perhaps? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i will do it more simple, everybody chooses 10-20 albums (no matter the artist as long as it is idm) after people vote we count votes and we see the top 24 albums (no matter the artist) and then we make a competition with groups and all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it could be a good idea ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This could be a very time-consuming idea, considering we're choosing several albums from several different artists. If you can pull this off I'll gladly participate... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hope this happens... it would be damned interesting |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yesthis is a good idea... pick like 5 artists... ae boc afx and sp... we choose are fave almbumns and add it up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, we are talking about: if we do this championship, way of electing the tracks: they have to be IDM you all are talking about compllicated ways, such as choosing a number of tracks by artist depending on how prolific the artist are I think this is too much complicated cos, who chooses that? why that? i prefer if I can choose any track I want, for example if I can choose 20 tracks (very easy) if I want 8 of them to be from afx... whats the problem? I see no problem with that so I would say: we have to choose 10 to 20 tracks (so if you just wanna choose 10 is ok, but there is a limit of 20 (track name, album name and artist name) and after many of us have voted we can see the 24 more voted tracks and with this we do the competition as the last one better ideas? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this could probably be worked into xltronic version2? ie. have a place in the personal profile to put favourite artist, album whatever ... and then one can automatically compile statistics of the popularity of artists etc ... dunno - i guess that wouldn't have the knockout effect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tracks or albums? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry I was menaing albums all I said but with albums (sorry) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe you could first have a 'national' competition with one artist and all of his releases. Nr 1 (and 2 maybe) qualifies for the 'international' competition. For the artist to participate, I would look at the previous championship. How many artists and how it exactly should work precisely is offcourse up to you guys. |
