99. Male | "Risikofaktor 1:X": 9/10

Zensur & Zensur is often called the first German punk LP. This song is very short, but the standout. The lyrics were inspired by a woman falling down on the escalator and having her hair pulled into the machinery. That's why the escalator is "senselessly brutal".

Rough cloth punk about escalators with a strong hook. Pretty good.

FKA Twigs – In Time: 9
I don't think I ever heard M3LL155X, so why is this song very familiar with me? Did it appear in a poll on this forum?
Also, why haven't I heard M3LL155X? I love LP1 and MAGDALENE after all. FKA Twigs has a very appealing style, one abundantly clear on In Time. It's a good mix between a robotic feel and something dreamy. She even sells me on autotune. The song feels a bit as a primer for the sounds on MAGDALENE and that's more than welcome.

1. This noise is what they call music nowadays? I could find so much better from my vintage collection of Daryl McDoobie and His Swingin' Swingers. They got all the way to #73 on the Dartboard Singles Chart Hot 20000!

100. FKA Twigs - In Time : 7.5
99. Male - Risikofaktor 1X : 6
98. The Carpenters - Please, Mr Postman : 6.5
97. Danii Minogue - Put the Needle on It : 7.5
96. Ben Harper - Steal My Kisses : Pass… I used to listen a lot to Ben Harper's first 4 albums but I never really stopped to think about those lyrics and yeah, not too happy with them either. Lyrics notwithstanding, the "live from Mars" version is much more enjoyable than the album version that sounds a bit listless
95. Joy Orbison - Hyph Mngo : 7.5
94. Sturgill Simpson - Old King Coal : 7.5
93. Hawkwind - Silver Machine : 5 (Lemmy is a legend and I'd love to give this more but I find the windy sound covering most of the song pretty annoying, and remove it and there is a very basic song behind in my opinion)
92. Solomon Burke - Fast Train : 6
91. Zella Day - Hypnotic : 7.5
90. Tom Milsom - Having Fun : 8 (my favorite part is the intro, but the rest holds up, nice discovery)
89. The Beach Boys - Our Prayer : 3 (I usually go below 5 when I find songs grating, which is not exactly the case here, but to be honest I'm working as I'm listening to the playlist and didn't even realize this was a separate song, I just thought it was the outro or intro of one of the songs surrounding it... so it's more a grade reflecing how insignificant I find it more than that it is strictly "bad")
88. CHVRCHES - How Not To Drown : 8.5 (I have slept a bit on everything they released after their phenomenal debut album, but that song is almost on par with its best songs. CHVRCHES, Twilight Sad, Crystal Castles, 65daysofstatic… Robert Smith's featurings are rare but great !)
87. John Lennon - Steel and Glass : 8 (didn't expect to give a good grade to a little know Lennon song, but there you go)
86. Elise & Ennio Morricone - Ancora qui : 6

The last one you rated was #63, so you'll continue from #64, the Kelly Clarkson song.

"Slow Hands" is a rare 10 when my own two choices so far are in the 9.5 zone (...at least, I think that's what I gave Anderson .Paak and will give Joy Orbison once I get there). Interpol were my big old band last year, going from one song near the bottom of my top 1000 to 4 in my top 500 or right outside. The big winner was 'Evil' jumping from #1151 to #195.

As is frequently the case with dance music like this I struggle to hear what makes them interesting. To me this easily becomes background music; pretty much the opposite of making me want to dance. It's too cold and mechanical to appeal to me.
It's funny that being background music is probably why I love it and other similar songs. I have incredible difficulty focusing while I write but music helps - but anything lyrical and I end up being distracted by the words. Non-pop electronic music feels like the biggest gulf between me and most other members of the forum, but I think this is a big part. I want to be engulfed by an atmosphere as I create, something I can blast without it asking for the same part of my brain I use for generating words. There is a functional usage to this more atmospheric form of electronic music that I otherwise only find in classical and jazz, and all three put me in a separate mental space (...and my stories tend to fall more in this cold, mechanical anxiety mode).

I don't imagine this will convince anyone to give it another whirl, but I wanted to at least explain why this type of music matters to me.

A handful of rating changes from me, based on hearing the songs anew while working on the top 100. These will count for the next update.

Upgrades:
Blood, Sweat & Tears - God Bless the Child: 8
Th’ Faith Healers – Moona Inna Joona: 8
Avishai Cohen Trio – Eleven Wives: 8 (was surprised to see this was a 6; what was with me that day?)
Triana - En el lago: 9 (It was a solid 8 before, but this one has grown on me deeply and is close to a 10; perhaps my favorite discovery of the new edition)
John Lennon - Steel and Glass: 7

Great to see you catching up, but are you planning to update your votes in this post? Because it is invisible when you update I will probably miss it, so please notify me if you do so.

Where would you prefer the updates be made?

If I get to a point where I feel I have completed my updates I'll let you know, so you do not have to repeatedly look at the updates as they progress.
