Chris Toffer Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Indeed. And I am now going to listen to Oneohtrix Point Never - R Plus Seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Glad to see Ceephax placed highly. And mu-ziq squeaking in under the cutoff. And of course Exai, w00t. Good "highly intelligent dance musiks" list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eh Speedy Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Boards of Canada, highly deserved! They put out the best album they've ever made this year IMO. Honestly Jon Hopkins from out of nowhere this year with his popularity. I mean he did 3 albums before this that nobody talked about, which are all good. I also can't believe how hard WATMM voted for a guy that produced and basically injected one of his own songs straight into a Coldplay album on Viva La Vida. I guess stranger things have happened. Go CEEPHAX, always! Damn it! I've got to get the Japanese Chewed Corners CD. Working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jasondonervan Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Solid results, 2013 was good times for music. Would like to have seen Ceephax nudge OPN by a nose as I've listened to Cro Magnox more than R Plus 7 this year, but both are winners regardless. Cheers to SPD² for pollmaster duties.

Working on it. yes, Ive discovered hopkins this year, and has become a instant favorite, Inside is also as good then immunity, and the 2013 how I live now OST from hopkins is also highly recommended. Also happy for U-ziq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxien Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 It was truly a hell of a year for the iddemz types of music. Exai=great. BoC finally won me over with TH (never cared enough for anything to purchase an album of theirs before). Just picked up Virgins and Immunity because of the end of the year voting list, and love them both. Hecker's album especially, I'm going to be coming back to it for years, I can already tell.

Guest murphythecat8 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Bibo is a big surprise for me, I liked this album a lot and still listen to the album regurlarly, but thought this was kind of cheesy and cliche for watmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorkingtonPugsly Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Good results. Don't get the J. Hopkins University love though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Great results this year. Would have snuck James Holden a bit higher up and BOC a bit lower, but otherwise pretty damn perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granty Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Cool haven't heard some of these albums yet. Been trying to get into Jon Hopkins but I must be missing something, Vapor City's been a grower for me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr lopez Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Cool haven't heard some of these albums yet. Been trying to get into Jon Hopkins but I must be missing something, Vapor City's been a grower for me though. yeah seems a little too *precious* for my tastes. even the distortion and compression seems so controlled.

awepittance Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 let's not fool ourselves here, there was not even close to a contender to Exai all year. The voting seems accurate to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzkinz Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 let's not fool ourselves here, there was not even close to a contender to Exai all year. The voting seems accurate to me Weren't you saying you were let down, or bothered, by Exai some time ago? Don't get me wrong, I agree it is top, and glad you changed your mind (if indeed I remembered correctly about you not liking it much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 i always go through a little bit of that with every new Autechre album, but regardless of my expectations not being met or whatever it still destroys any other electronic music I've heard this year i mean how could it not? It's autechre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
