Best of Remixes -- Selected by AHS (Nominations)
 

Some of you may or may not remember the project I organized last year for the AHS "fan-selected best album." It took a lot of time and many people participated; and it turned out really well! The only flaw was, I had computer problems right towards the end and by the time my computer was back up and running, quite a few people thought I abandoned it. I ended up uploading it in April of this year though and after encouragement from some other members I have decided to go ahead and begin the second segment of this project, the fan-selected best remixes album!

The process is pretty straightforward so instead of waiting to start the nominations, we'll just go ahead and do it here in this thread. Here's a quick overview of what will happen:

Step 1 - Nominations; users nominate 1~5 of their favorite remixes.
Step 2 - Selection; all nominated remixes are compiled into a poll and users vote for their top 10 favorites.
Step 3 - Cover competition & Title Selection; a competition will be held to create the cover for the album and then members will vote. users will also help decide on a title and the most popular suggestions will be made into a poll. (note: the cover competition is organized by me and there is no prize from the staff. the prize for the winning artist is that their cover is, well, the cover! we may do a digital booklet this time to if artistes have time and are interested)
Step 4 - Compilation & Release; after the remixes, cover, and title have been picked, I'll compile the album and upload here for everyone's pleasure! if you already have all the songs, you can just snatch the cover and make a playlist. :)

This will be the second album in the "AHS presents ayumi hamasaki..." series.

I'll post the guidelines for what is eligible to nominate and what's not and the post below will be reserved for holding the nominations!

WHAT'S ELIGIBLE:

• You can nominate any official remixes from Ayumi's avex discography.
• Remixes from her German releases on the Drizzly label are also eligible, but I'm pretty sure all of those remixes have an incarnation in her avex discography as well.
• No "acoustic orchestra," "acoustic piano," "orgel," or any other ~non-traditional~ remixes. I'm sure you guys can figure out what that means. haha But just incase, something like A Song for XX "030213 Session #2 Take" or Trust (new vocal & mix) would not be eligible.
• Remix MUST have a full version. For example, "I am... (Floor Divisions mix)" only appears on one of the ayu-mi-x nonstop mega mix CD's. These tracks are not eligible unless the full remix also appears on disc 2 or another single/remix album.

That's about it! :) Happy nominating and if this project goes well again, we'll continue on with this series and do an acoustic orchestra/piano/retake best album to go along with this one in the release style of the ayu-mi-x albums!

Nominations will close one month from today! ~September 19th~

It's really hard for me to only choose 5. But these are my top favorites. :) I love Ayu's remixes.

These 2 remixes were the very first Ayu songs I've ever listened to (even before I listened to her regular songs), and I fell in love with them! So I'm nominating:

TO BE (Eurobeat Remix)
evolution "time is pop mix"

Also my very favorite of her remixes is the WE WISH remix for Ayu-trance 3, but it's already nominated so in that case I'll nominate my second favorite as well :)

Rule Remo-con "tech dance" remix

Only 5?
This is very difficult since most of my favorite remixes are on Ayumix 6.

M (Above & Beyond remix)
Rule (80kidz's "No More Rule" mix)
Beautiful Fighters (MSTRKRFT remix) <-- Best remix known to mankind
STEP you (THE YOUNG PUNX! remix)
decision (FORCE OF NATURE remix)
I want to vote for Talkin' 2 myself (STONEBRIDGE remix) but I don't see it.

Microphone (THE LOWBROWS remix)

You can nominate ANY remix. It doesn't have to be on the list. The list are songs that have ALREADY been nominated. haha

I won't count your nominations until you let me know if you want to change them since you didn't know.

..I'm gonna send you a PM too just in case you don't re-enter this thread. xD

Can I change one of my nominations?
I wanna nominate SURREAL (Dub's Floor Mix Transport 006) instead of About You X STROBE
