113 valid ballots were submitted this year, up from 109 last year. An individual attempted to skew the results by submitting multiple ballots using services such as hotmail, yahoo, etc. No votes from this person were counted, and I may choose not to accept votes from users of these services in the future. Here are the results: Album of the Year 11 votes: Amon Tobin: Permutation (Ninja Tune) 23 votes: Autechre: Untitled (Warp) 48 votes: Boards of Canada: Music Has the Right to Children (Skam/Warp) 11 votes: Bola: Soup (Skam) 10 votes: Pole: CD1/LP1 (Kiff SM) 04 votes: Squarepusher: Music Is Rotted One Note (Warp) 06 abstentions Winner: Boards of Canada: Music Has the Right to Children (Skam/Warp) Single of the Year 14 votes: Bola: Aguilla (Skam) 14 votes: Gescom: This (Skam) 15 votes: Jake Mandell: Midwest (Lucky Kitchen) 17 votes: Lexaunculpt: Oh Heres Some Noises (Isophlux) 14 votes: Richard Coleman: Devine (Schematic) 39 abstentions Winner: Lexaunculpt: Oh Heres Some Noises (Isophlux) Compilation of the Year 09 votes: alt.frequencies 3 (Worm Interface) 11 votes: Blip, Bleep (Lucky Kitchen) 19 votes: Funkungfusion (Ninja Tune) 17 votes: Highways Over Gardens (Carpet Bomb) 07 votes: Psychogeographic X+Y (Diskono) 20 votes: We Are Reasonable People (Warp) 30 abstentions Winner: We Are Reasonable People (Warp) Chillout Album of the Year 44 votes: Boards of Canada: Music Has the Right to Children (Skam/Warp) 19 votes: Bola: Soup (Skam) 14 votes: Irresistable Force: It's Tomorrow Already (Ninja Tune) 21 votes: Plastikman: Consumed (Novamute) 15 abstentions Winner: Boards of Canada: Music Has the Right to Children (Skam/Warp) Drum & Bass Album of the Year 27 votes: Amon Tobin: Permutation (Ninja Tune) 09 votes: Dom + Roland: Industry (Moving Shadow) 13 votes: Jega: Spectrum (Planet Mu) 21 votes: Photek: Form and Function (Science) 14 votes: Squarepusher: Music Is Rotted One Note (Warp) 29 abstentions Winner: Amon Tobin: Permutation (Ninja Tune) House or Techno Album of the Year 06 votes: Fatboy Slim: You've Come a Long Way Baby (Skint) 08 votes: Herbert: Around the House (Phono) 12 votes: Mannequin Lung: The Art of Travel (Plug Research) 16 votes: Plastikman: Consumed (Novamute) 21 votes: Pole: CD1/LP1 (Kiff SM) 13 votes: Two Lone Swordsmen: Stay Down (Warp) 37 abstentions Winner: Pole: CD1/LP1 (Kiff SM) Label of the Year 10 votes: Chocolate Industries 18 votes: Ninja Tune 13 votes: Phthalo 31 votes: Skam 21 votes: Warp 20 abstentions Winner: Skam Artist of the Year 09 votes: Atom Heart 23 votes: Autechre 40 votes: Boards of Canada 04 votes: Bola 14 votes: v/vm 23 abstentions Winner: Boards of Canada My thanks go out to everyone who voted!
