Guest antic Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Sorry to continue the subject, but I just thought of something... I definitely don't want to fall in the trap of defining the style of each release...if we can interface with discogs next year, ok why not. Else, no.Yeah, I can totally see where you're coming from, but maybe it's not necessary? I don't know how you organised your database, but I imagine each release has an attribute whether it is a v/a or album and whether it is uptempo or downtempo. What if you'd stick to this, but would let participants assign releases themselves to the styles? What I mean one could put e.g. Psykovsky "Da Budet" into goa/psy, full-on, dark/tech, prog/housey or suomi/scando, but not in similar v/a or downtempo categories. This way you'd not be responsible for categorising the releases and I'm pretty sure 99% of users would know where to put them. Still, you'd be able to present the results in a current split, i.e. uptempo albums/va-s and downtempo albums/va-s. Too bad I come up with this proposal so late Quote
Snapinho Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Bah, at work I can download Chrome and the standard browser is IE6, so I can't really vote here. Which sucks, because when I have most time is at work. Imagine that, huh? Governments... still using IE6. Quote

No thanks, but I think that would be a complete mess. Where would I stick Artifakt? Krumelur? Shift? And besides, Top 10 is Top 10. Not Top 100 från 10 different genres. I think the purpose of the Top 10 would deminish. Quote

Just another premise, to fuel the argument that goverments are not to be trusted At least not in regard of their making rational decisions. Quote

It's not like psytrance is homogenous nowadays so forcing a choice between different genres is ...well, forced. It is for me quite easy to say which CD was the best (IMO) in 2009 goa/psy, full-on, darkpsy, ambient etc. releases, but not which one of those genre-bests is objectively the best - depending on time, place and mood different music appeals to me and is able to evoke the same / similar feelings. But it seems it's just my problem so I won't come back to that again Quote
mars Posted February 20, 2010 Author Posted February 20, 2010 Badun seams to be in the wrong section, it's downtempo. Fixed Quote

mars Posted February 20, 2010 Author Posted February 20, 2010 Well I know it is there for "best of 2009", you have to wait a few secs, and sometimes it doesn't drop down. As far as "best of decade" is concerned, I have no idea if there exists any drop down menu. That vote isn't supposed to have started yet. I had planned on launching it quite fast, so I had put a start date on February 15th, but I haven't had the time to parse & store the 2000-2008 release in there yet. So I reset the startdate to April 1st...please be patient. Quote
Rotwang Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 VA - Treecreation (Regen Records) doesn't seem to be there. Could you add it, Mars? TIA. Quote
