One of the crown jewels of the "epic ambient techno journey album" field. All that Tangerine Dream-y goodness My spreadsheet struggled with not renaming this song "0.224305555555556" lol 23

This was an extremely tough cut for my top ten, to the point that it was kicked out right at the very end. I thought this was great.
Two 23s, but no 5s? You guys are slacking.

Expected this to go out last night, and this isn't a bad spot for it, so it's fine.

For the record, I liked this.
It's a gates rankdown, so of course I liked songs in the bottom ten. Surprise.

I need to listen to more Squarepusher. I've been wary of him in the past because he has the stigma of being "hipster electronic" but everytime I hear a song of his I jive with it My condolences, Juan Carlos 20

The song to get stranded at the door to the top 18 takes out a top 5, 4 top 10s, and 4 more top 18s. However, it also has 2 bottom 6s.

There were three songs in my top ten that I felt were sure-fire locks to make the top ten.
One of them just went out before my #36.

#18 is the 3rd lowest SD. No one ranked it bottom 6, and only 3 ranked it bottom 10. It got a lot of mileage out of only 7 top 18s and 1 top 10 (which is a top 5)

I mean, when your song's title is referenced in a famous book on dance music by Simon Reynolds, and one of your other songs basically invented the "Hoover sound", how are you not going to end up in this series somewhere 18

I don't think it's hyperbole to say that this is one of the most influential songs in this rankdown. This was a game-changer.

#17 was one of the most consistent performers in the rankdown, being our first song to place in 10 top 18s (including a top 5 and 2 top 10s). There are 3 naysayers in the bottom 6, though.

Beep Street was probably my favorite discovery here, it helped me realize that I need to listen to more "out-there" DnB.

I had no idea what to assume this reveal was going to be, so...a perfecto, sure.
The way this twists its beat really grabbed me.

#16 removes 2 top 2s and 2 other top 10s from the game, plus 4 ordinary top 18s. Only 1 bottom 6, also.

6 people overall lose top 10s with #15 (and one might be someone's first place) but there was only 1 more top 18, as opposed to 3 bottom 6s.

When this song really gets going...damn.

#14 has 6 top 10s. 2 are top 5s. 2 additional top 15s. It doesn't have any bottom 6s, but despite that, took a while to pick up steam.
