Easily the most surprising high SD to me, as I thought this would actually have one of the lowest SDs going in.
When I went into this rankdown, I knew the original, but I had never heard this particular remix. It had such a profound effect on me that I did something that I rarely do: I edited my ranking to move it up to #1. I have listened to the original maybe a handful of times since, while this has been in my rotation from the moment I listened to it for the first time. Absolutely one of the best remixes I've ever heard.
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, wheatsquares33.

I have a history with Röyksopp's music going as far back as the year 2007 and I knew about this remix, and I wish I could've participated in singingrulebritannia's Electronic/Dance Faves Rankdowns.

Probably my biggest rooting interest in this rankdown, especially when it looked like there was a chance it might make the top ten at the end. If only.
One of the most eye-opening first listens I've ever had, and also potentially one of the most important, as I credit this song with helping to pave the way for me to appreciate dance music on a deeper and stronger level. Also, good lord, 1:54 is one of the most awe-inspiring moments in any song of its type. It's just an explosion of joy.

I've thought about submitting a BANGER like "House vs. House" for Summertime/Wintertime Madness but I am reluctant to do so because I'd be disappointed with the low ranks.

On the other hand, I was pleasantly surprised to see "Pan Matsuri" make it to the top 16 in 2023 March Madness.

Most of you know how my top ten previews work by now. If you don't, I offer up three stats for the first eight songs in the top ten, as well as a factoid that may or may not interest me and me alone. Nothing more, nothing less. Ready? Let's dive in.
#11 PREVIEW
Stats Movements Spent in Top Ten: 9 Highest Ranking: #1 Top Tens: 7
This song is only ahead of #11 by three points.

This is one of four songs that spent every movement in the top ten. It came very close to falling out late.

The rankdown this song was originally in was a supremely tough one, so I can't say I'm surprised it didn't do all that well there, but its performance in more recent rankdowns defintiely suggests that this is being more appreciated over time. It is fully deserved, as this song continues to grow on me with each passing day.

This did not entrench itself as a top ten contender until the halfway point, but, once it did, it had just one momentary slip before never looking back.

Whether I’d be listening to the single version or full version, “Hills of Katmandu” was guaranteed to be one my highest ranks. “Wishbone” is also a strong track, worth the 15 minute length.
