Best Electronic Music Albums

Zerix01 · Sep 30, 2006

Electronic music, the ******* child of the music industry.... 
I just feel like saying IMO the best electronic music albums ever made are: 
Fluke - Risotto 
Underworld - Pearl's Girl EP 
Underworld - Dirty Epic / Cowgirl Single-EP 
Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation 
The Crystal Method - Vegas 
Orbital - Middle of Nowhere 
Anyone else have albums they are passionate about? And I mean an album where you listen to the whole thing (no skipping tracks) and never tire of it?

I don't like electronic music.

I also really like that Underworld, Pearl's Girl. I don't have Risotto, but I would like to hear the whole thing. I am not that much into electronic music but own some compilations I like quite a bit.

Oh my gosh...I love, LOVE, L-O-V-E electronic music. Vegas and Music for the Jilted Generation are total classics. Perfecto Presents Another World - Paul Oakenfold is my #1 favorite. I can listen to both discs over and over and over again - without skipping tracks.

Leftism - Leftfield 
Mixmag Presents - Richie Hawtin 
DE9 Closer to the Edit - Richie Hawtin 
Electroboogie 1 & 2 - Dave Clarke 
New Forms - Roni Size

I used to be into old school electronic music, but it bores me for the most part these days. My favorites used to be: 
Walter/Wendy Carlos - Switched On Bach, A Clockwork Orange 
Tangarine Dream - The Soundtrack to The Sorcerer 
Tomita - Snowflakes Are Dancing 
Jean Michael Jarre - Oxygene 
Synergy - Cords (I still have the clear vinyl album)

aphex twin - selected ambient works 85-92 is a favourite. 
as well as autechre - amber. i really like the other albums of theirs that i've heard but i have yet to get into them as much as i did with amber. 
oh and....daft punk - homework. great album.

Gnome Chomsky · Oct 5, 2006

Autechre - [untitled], aka "LP5" 
Venetian Snares - Doll Doll Doll 
Squarepusher - Big Loada 
Aphex Twin - The Richard D. James album 
Speedy J - A Shocking Hobby 
Gridlock - Further 
Skinny Puppy - Last Rights 
I'll note that none of what I listed is commonly considered dance music and that some is utterly undanceable.

np: the mars volta

I'd list: Discovery by Daft Punk Melodies From Mars and Selected Ambient Works 89-92 by Aphex Twin 
treefingers: Is your av from the back of "Meeting People Is Easy"?

it sure is

Underworld- pearls girls is right at the top of my list. 
There is also an album a friend of mine used to have, one called smoke city I believe, but I can't remember anything else about it. 
I think I listened to it a hundred times, but never once saw the album cover.

Woohoo, another Skinny Puppy fan! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/rockon.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":rockon:"> 
I love Orbital and Underworld (Dirty Epic is one of my all-time favorite songs), and maybe I'd add 808 State's Utd. State 90 (older) and Royksopp's The Understanding (newer) to the list. 
And I know it's not an album, but I just saw Massive Attack last week and they were super-awesome. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/yes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":yes:">

How about some Nitzer Ebb, KMFDM, or Front242?

Gnome Chomsky · Oct 10, 2006

In a word, yes. 
Although Skinny Puppy is in a different league. Basically, they're the second coming. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="

I hate that. I wear earplugs whenever it gets too loud. I remember years ago a Ramones gig I went to made my ears ring for 3 days afterwards.

Yeah, that Front 242 gig single-handedly convinced me to wear earplugs at every show I saw from then on, even if I sometimes feel kinda goofy doing it. I'm much happier at the end of the night when I can still hear myself think (although some might argue whether that's a good thing. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="

>>I hate that. I wear earplugs whenever it gets too loud.>> 
Yeah...I just assume I'll need earplugs at shows. 
I don't want to have hearing akin to my dad's when I'm schfifty-five.
