btw how many singles are on this 'albums' list? it looks so weird seeing individual songs by Craig Mack and Tricky on here.

lol i don't even think googlers can be legitimately blamed in the sandbox
(voted laika)

oops I forgot to vote. Stereolab should be tied with the Buckster.

hey Lamp & mookie you seem to like Laika, you guys listen much to Moonshake? I was just playing Eva Luna and, man, I've had that album for about 15 years and it still just keeps getting better and better...

made the right choice in not letting Mouse on Mars have 0 votes, but the wrong choice in giving Stereolab fewer votes than Jeff fuckin' Buckley

Would have voted 4hero. Might have been Plastikman but I can't forgive Hawtin the last 10 years.

I know you weren't talking to me, 'henrietta', but I like Moonshake.

I like that album too, but I'm a huge Dave Callahan/Wolfhounds stan in general soo...

i saw Laika supporting the young gods in 1995

I liked Laika and was totes excited when I found the Moonshake album in a sale bin when I'd heard it was OOP ~RARE~ A+++ STEREOLAB LAIKA etc and didn't really care for it. But then I've probably only listened to it twice so if it's such a grower I should really dig it back out.
(And if it isn't then I shall take it to eBay and OOP ~RARE~ A+++ STEREOLAB LAIKA it up, but it doesn't look particularly rare from Amazon marketplace)

Well, there's a bunch of Moonshake stuff that sounds nothing like Laika or Stereolab, so if you were expecting that I can see you being disappointed. There is also stuff where you can see the lineage, though, so... Hm.
― Illia Rump (emil.y), Thursday, 15 December 2011 13:45 (twelve years ago) link
will totally dig it back out! If I can find it. I had already felt that I might have been a little too unkind to it, probably because of misleading expectations, as you say.
― brony island baby (case spudette), Thursday, 15 December 2011 13:55 (twelve years ago) link
emil.y otm; Eva Luna has some songs on it that I imagine sound like what Laika will become, but there's also some awesome brain-splitting noise rock and some PiL dread punk-dub filtered through a more prog/sound-collage sensibility

Why is there no Aphex on this list?

dammit if I had actually voted and if Lex had voted, Portishead would have won
― OH NOES, Thursday, 15 December 2011 14:35 (twelve years ago) link
they'll just have to be content with winning the actual original list!

This was the first Moonshake track I heard:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxlH4WNSdF0
Though discogs doesn't seem to list it as part of Eva Luna, when I thought it was.
But then you have something like Two Trains, which is totally different.

Secondhand Clothes is totally on the version of Eva Luna that I have; which is I think the Matador Records reissue. It has that whole EP
― he said "grody" (henrietta lacks), Thursday, 15 December 2011 14:55 (twelve years ago) link
um OK that Two Trains song is amazing; is that what Laika sounds like? I figured it was more in the "Bleach & Salt Water"/"Little Thing" vein

I remember Laika as being a bit more mellow than 'Two Trains' and its frenetic (almost d'n'b?) rhythms, but yeah, that's definitely the side of Moonshake that pointed towards Laika's output.
