remember this my friend?: ------------------------------------------------ *** 1st Elektronic Championship.nu *** __________2002 EDITION____________ ------------------------------------------------ *** GRAND FINAL *** ----------------------------------------------- THE COMPETITION IS OVER... THE CHAMPION OF THE CHAMPIONS IS... AAAPHEXXX TWINNN !!!!!!!! ********************************** Final result Aphex Twin - Squarepusher = 29 - 17 ********************************** Aphex Twin is the champion of first edition 2002 of this Elektronic championship.nu He hasn't oppenets enough strong for him, but we have to do a big applause to Tom Jenkinson who did a really good championship. This competition will remain famous for the victory of Squarepusher against Boards of Canada first and Autechre then. Aphex Twin is the king, he had the benefit to play at home but he's really a great artist and made the story of electronic music so he deserves this victory. ...Anyway Richard would be very careful because a lot of artists want his crown in next championship edition. Thank you very much to you all for your important support to this nice game, and for your important vote! This is a really cool community. |

as ironlung said, we could wait till ae´s and afx´s albums are out and make another championship, what do you think?? o but thats a long wait... I wanna competition soon.... why dont we do it?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Now that I think about it, your right Nac, that IS a long wait until BOTH of those new releases are out...I am changing my vote to " YES "....I think a NEW Championship for 2003 would be great... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, I can remember, this wasn't so long ago :) |
||||||||
|

what worries me is that many posters seem to hate this kind of competiton polls... for some reason they dont like them, and maybe it would be harder to get such an universal participation as the last time, besides when people dont like them, they not only dont participate, they use to post to say how bad that is, so it starts a discussion on the thread and it gets impossible to count the votes... these are some of the difficulties but I think its worth the effort anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also think that a NEW poll would be just great, but your point about some members NOT BEING INTO THE IDEA could hinder it a little. I am willing to bet the positive votes and participation would outweigh the negative. We should have another....=) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think some people don't participate in/flame those threads because they do seem to appear quite regularly. Perhaps we should make it an annual event, one year to the day of the last one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am not saying that those people are to blame you know what I mean, but its a fact that that would make it a bit more hard, but of course I respect their Ideas, not everybody has to like what I like, but those competitions in some way keeped the community together, I dont know I think it was a good moment every day checking the results.... I think that woofer´s competition was better to keep the attention of the community, cos the league was too long and without many news while in woofer´s way we had to pay attention to the groups and each round you know.... but, where is woofer? I expected to post here and discuss about this with him too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also a good idea/point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great idea... the league started the 14th of march, but the champions woofer did was a bit earlier... good point ceri |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
March is NOT that far away...you could take inquiries as to WHO should be in the contest until March arrives.... I seem to remember there was TONS of different opinions and changes made to the final list to vote from. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I ve seen (search feature) that woofer started his championship the first of march |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hello my friends... i remember the elektronic championship very well, it was very funny! 1st of March could be the right date for... *** SECOND EDITION OF XLTRONIC CHAMPIONSHIP 2003 *** This season will be hard for the last winner Aphex Twin, he should defend his crown from the attack of SQUAREPUSHER (Tom is very angry... he want his revenge) and AUTECHRE (they think who new album bring them to the final victory) and much other new entry as ASTROBOTNIA (Ovuca's new dress), BOLA, JEGA, etc... We should start to think the new partecipants to this IMPORTANT EVENT. Woofer, Nacmat and Ironlung, the championship is calling for us ;) |

If you are interested to see al matches of last championship 2002, you have to type "championship" in the xltronic search bar, select "sort by date" and check between 41 to 60, etc... You can view all the matches from start to the end. |

|
|
hehe, why susumu yokota wasnt on that list he would surely won that poll haha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Iron, Nacmat... I am here and you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I am out here....Did you guys kinda come up with an idea for this years NEW poll? I am all for it....as discussed last night=) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We should think the new idm/braindance list of partecipants to this new competition. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am here and I am ready, its true that some new artist will have to be in the list, or some old artist that werent here, for example we could delet the worst clasified last year and put the new surprises of the season.... (just to know where to start) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefer woofers way of competition, it keeps the attention of posters better.... but what was good about my way is that we have 50 artist to choose from there, and we can see that the last 15 or so we shouldnt include them, cos at the end nobody votes for them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this year I ve heard about many artists I didnt know last year (susumu yokota is an example) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i never heard susumu yokota, is he good? which track do you suggest to me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
probably, i'll delete not idm/braindance artist as chemical brothers, daft punk, etc.. what do you think? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
See IMO I think we SHOULD have some of those artists that are NOT Braindance...it gives the list more depth....And gives us MORE of a choice=) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, iron... we should keep only the best between not idm/braindance artist as underworld, massive attack, etc... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think you might be refering to me as one of those who dont like championships..pay no mind to me...I actually participated and voted on a few of those..but after a while there was like one a week and one tends to loose track..start one wheever..if I feel like it..I will vote..if not..I will stay clear i promise.. but I do think..there are lot more deserving IDM artists out right now..that do merit an inclusion..on the list..right off the top of my head.. Richard Devine..Speedy J (I mean come on he is one of the originial Artifical Intelligence artists)..even Richie Hawtin is more deserving than..say Chemical Brothers.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds fair enough, I dont wanna seem like a pain in the arse suggesting this, seeing as though my vote will go towards probably one of the top 3 from last year, just thought it would make the poll a little easier to get involved in for NEWER members and/or those who arent HUGE Braindance fans, but LOVE "electronica"... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good point iron.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyway if the champion is for the comunity we must listen to what they want... I mean if everybody tells us to iinclude "joe janiano" (invented) then we should try to attend that popular request... know what I mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also agreed.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
First ones that catch my eye as NOT to be left on there this year would be: Air Plone K+D but thats just basing my picks on weather or not I am looking forward too or have been listening to THOSE artists into this new year. Anyone agree? |
||||||||
|

The championship isn't easy to manage . For a better and funny competition we need to have few artist in the finals. 24 was a good number, 'cos we had 6 groups with 4 musicians. We could make QUALIFICATION RACES, for the final championship... and the 24 bests will fight for the XLTRONIC CHAMPIONSHIP 2003 EDITION. The first 4 of last edition could have automatic qualification (AFX SQUAREPUSHER, ETC...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um..Plone are on Warp.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I know they are on WARP....I guess I choose them out of " lack of knowledge of " |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great idea (just like world cup) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
air are almost pop plone... I dont know k&D atre great, but.... here is the problem about idm only or not |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they are kinda cool..like retro sixties sound effect laden sci fi sound tracks..very mellow and pleasant..some of it sounds like early Plaid.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw Air-10000 hz legend is very close to IDM..the earlier stuff is yeah popish but their sounds is getting darker and harder..starting from Virgin Suicides |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Flea, yeah I have been meaning to check em out....I always love hearing WARP artists I have not heard b 4. Nac.... I guess K+D would have a bit more place than AIR on this list...I mean both deserves props for thier work, but I just dont know if BOTH FIT into this very well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, here are the 50 artists that participated in the league... this is just to see how they did and to see who must be again... its clear, that the worst clasified could be deleted if they havent done anything new lately that makes us change opinion this list is just to help out with the choices, not that I have any interest 570 Richard D James 450 Squarepusher 438 Autechre 421 BOC 245 µ-ziq 215 Plaid 120 Global Goon 110 Bogdan Raczinsky 110 Luke Vibert 102 Ovuca 101 Amon Tobin 98 Mouse On Mars 98 Future Sound Of London 87 Cylob 86 Orbital 77 DJ Shadow 74 Venetian Snares 71 Funkstörung 68 Pole 65 Prefuse 73 64 LFO 64 Chris Clark 50 Jega 41 Four Tet 41 Bochum Welt 40 Two Lone Swordsmen 39 808 State 36 Mum 33 Arovane 32 Orb 31 Pan Sonic 31 Speedy J 31 Photek 28 A Guy Called Gerald 27 Proem 27 Leila 26 Richard Devine 25 Matmos 25 Brothomstates 25 D'Arcangelo 24 Cex 23 Royksopp 22 Jan Jelinek 20 Plastikman 19 Nightmares On Wax 15 Plone 15 Bola 14 Phonem 12 Passarani 11 Monolake 10 Air Liquide 10 Biosphere 10 Telefon Tel A Viv 9 Mira Calix 7 Oval 6 Juan Atkins 5 Hvratski 4 Fluke 2 Matthew Herbert 0 4 Hero |

|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if are doing a qualification to get to 24 we may choose a lot of artists |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You saw who in 2002 old edition you wanted AIR in the competition... :) Read below: "IronLung from the Great Glass Elevator (United States) on 2002-03-01 20:16 [#00107459] Points: 3215 Status: Addict I think AIR should be on there..... Otherwise...count me in in anyway possible.... I love the idea=)" from |
