Pop Open Nineties RESULTS (somewhat delayed)

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Right! After rather a long polling time here are the 90s group results!

FIRST PLACE: Alison Hinds and Square One - "Iron Bazodee" (6 first-place votes, 38% of total points) - lockedintheatti WINS.

SECOND PLACE: Me Phi Me/Jeriko One - "HereWECome" (8 first-place votes, 35% of total points) - credoimprobus QUALIFIES.

THIRD PLACE: Souls Of Mischief - "Disishowedo" (2 first-place votes, 15% of total points) - mcarratala is OUT.

FOURTH PLACE: Laurent Garnier - "Virtual Breakdown" (1 first-place vote, 13% of total points) - katstevens is OUT.

Congrats, commiserations and sorry for the wait. I will put the 00s group up tomorrow, tho I may need someone to convert a M4A file into MP3 if I am too dense to work out how to do it myself...

Hahah totally as I expected! Never mind, I probably should have entered one of the tracks from the Strictly None Of That Hardcore Ecstacy With LSI On It Mate album instead.

Yours would easily have had my first place vote if I'd voted.

Aww thanks :) Laurent's acid stuff is so awesome - I found this one nestled way down the tracklist of World Techno Tribe (http://www.discogs.com/release/27971) - I love how it starts off all spiky then builds up into a massive flibbering hand-wiggle of a choone.

Is that the first time the winning track has had fewer first place votes than the second place?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I think it happened in one of the groups in round 1.

I'm a little surprised to be honest that the Me Phi Me did so well! I didn't think it had much of a chance when I first heard it (though since it ended up being my favourite I shouldn't be too amazed I guess)

Hurrah! I really struggled to find something right here. My first stabs were ambient dub (which I thought might be a bit specialist) and electro-pop (which sounded dated) until I found this. Although I must admit it sounded a lot better on the very hot sunny august day when I found it than it does in a cold autumn.

What's a Bazodee?

Google doesn't help. My guess after several listens is that it's a synonym for crazy or delirious.

Omg 8 first place votes? THANK YOU VOTAS! The cockles of my heart, they are warmed!

Going by the comments early on I'd kinda started worrying whether I'd go through at all, so getting that many points (with that few voters, at that) was a surprise! More so since I went entirely with the "please myself" strategy this round, which meant picking something I was into at the time...and, I'm just saying: I was a bit of a total goth tool in the late 90s, haha. (Seriously, the Sunscreem was the only one of my possibles that didn't reflect that fact in some way, and I only got my hands on that one literally two days before the send-in deadline, heh...)

And omg this is totally turning into an overlong Oscar acceptance speech. Shutting up now!
