Even though I don't think it's perfect, it's nice to hear someone big this up, it's rarely mentioned on ILM.

Jeez Vahid makes Ellen Allien sound like Miss Kittin or something, just 'cos she adopted a few Anthony Rother-isms here & there (*cough* Data Romance) I think she'll last going on the current evidence, though things could change... When did weiss.mix get posted on this thread? That's 2002 for a start!

Horsepower - Ravesignal >> The 4th Sign (probably).

Raiders of the Lost Arp: 4
Luciano: Live @ Weetamix
Der Dritte Raum: Raumgleiter

And in any case, stylistically there is no word even remotely close to "glamorous", "trendy" etc or any of their weaker cousins that I would use to describe Ellen Allien's music.

Seconds:

Kraftwerk - T.E.E./Man Machine/Computer World
YMO - Solid State Survivor
Bjork - Homogenic

What, it isn't cool?

what a horrible title

LFO Advance you miserable cockfarmers.

µ-Ziq - Royal Astronomy

Aphex Twin - Classics

Kid 606 - P.S. I Love You
Kid 606 - P.S. I Dub Ya E.P.
Kid 606 - Who Still Kill Sound?

Kraftwerk - Computer World

Melodies From Mars

Are you for real?

Oh yes.

Atom Heart-Dots

smith n hack, 'tribute'

mouse on mars - glam
tired sounds of stars of the lid (if it counts as electronic)
and maybe autechre - LP5

thats really all i can think of at the moment, i love electronic music but unlike pop/rock there are very very few albums that feel perfect to me. i'm not really sure why this is, but oh well

Does this only apply to electronic albums that are rooted in instrumental music/minimalism to some extent?

Otherwise, add the following
Human League: Dare
Japan: "Gentlemen Take Polaroids" and "Tin Drum"
OMD: "Organisation" and "Architecture And Morality"
Depeche Mode: Entire catalogue more or less
Yazoo: "Upstairs At Eric's"
Erasure: "Chorus"

vocalcity seconded or thirded or whatever

also is there no love for Leftism around these parts?

Bushwacka! - Cellar Dwellas
Howie B w/ Sly & Robbie - Drum and Bass Stripped to the Bone
Kode9 w/ The Spaceape - Memories of the Future
Two Lone Swordsman - Tiny Reminders
Alex Reece - So Far
Various - Artificial Intelligence Volume II

i agree, it's such a big lush piece - bigger on ambience than dancing tho - i think this is what undermines it for some people. Carl Craig's Landcruising is similar in that respect but probably a better album for having a more dedicated focus thematically and sonically (because again it just sounds so lush) with more subtlety.

i listed way too many 66% good albums upthread!

Landcruising also undermined somewhat by the reworked versnion from a couple of years back but I love both equally.

ellen allien - weiss mix, berlinette ... if anybody cares about her in three years i'll eat my trucker hat.

lol how does it taste?

Thank you for redeeming both this thread and my cranky comment.

Well "some people" need to recognize that this is the album that gave us Tied Up!

they could've left that off it really tho, considering the gap between that coming out as a single and the album release. plus the Acid mix is better!

There's no such thing as a less-than-excellent version of this track, but I dunno "better".
