7th Annual MOST IDM Tournament - Qualification Round

Okay. Let the qualification rounds begin!

You must vote for at least one topic in each section. I've tried to make the sections large and even, so as not to unfairly bias the voting for or against any topic.

As always, please take the time to read up on any topics you are not already familiar with.

The top 64 topics will go into the bracketology.

If you voted in the previous thread, I apologize, but you must vote again.

I just successfully voted, confirming that this time it works. Hurrah!

Thanks for the efforts, sir!

I should have nominated data entry and forum poll technicalities.

Voted!

Most IDM:

great effort, some strong entries this year. Voted!

Gotta say I'm really digging "Elevator music for the space elevator" this year, as well as my suggestion of "Birds photographed like they are people"

David Lynch is flying out of the gate.

some of these are truly inspired

If it's not keyosc or Phil Collins, I'll be disappointed.

Fuck Phil Collins

C'mon, a compilation of tracks including THAT ONE Phil Collins' break would be awesome.
This or either Phil Collins playing Skull Trumpet.

I would rather kill my neighbor

I should point out that the idea "Elevator music for the space elevator" was coined by Ten Fingers Ten Toes in a track he did for Project168 part 4

Think it would make an awesome watmm album concept.

Somebody please post a link to Alcofribas' Exai review.

My guess is that it is pretty lush.

I didn't realise he had done an Exai review.

Therefore the concept is very IDM if it does not actually exist.

We are still waiting for his preview aren't we ? Or did I miss something ?

flying start for nominee 'IDM' too. could this be the most logical year of the tournament's history?

If IDM wins I'll go murder Phil Collins

Elevator music for the space elevator pulls in the lead, followed closely by Autechre writing and releasing a track called "18 (keyosc)", Birds photographed like they are people, and The Curiosity Rover landing on mars.

What's even more exiting is, to the best of my knowledge (and with the possible exception of Elevator music for the space elevator), these are all unheard of players. It looks like the field will be shaken up by strong new contenders this year.

Whoever suggested Thom Yorke, deserves to be banned.
