I mean I know not everybody will agree on stuff but I get the feeling that SPIN did not lead me down the road of truth back in the late 90s.

arm - open reminder : improvised electronics. contains many hints of 50s/60s electronic but with an updated aesthetic. very nice indeed.

― phil turnbull (philT), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:11 (twenty-two years ago)

hey I like GVSB and all that Venus Luxure business but thanks SPIN for being 3 years too late.

Actually, a truly great start for a classic "Electronic" album would be the self-titled by United States of America ('67-'68?) It influenced many, many bands (Broadcast lifts their entire sound from them).

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

(You Can't Fight had some great comeback tracks and some crap. Their stuff on the Series 7 soundtrack was pretty good too. Between that and the increasingly strong New Wet Kojak albums these guys shouldn't be counted out at all. Anyhow...)

i am with gaz - my head is going to explode from all of the crap posted on this thread.

Gear> Snowboarding in Argentina

Their attempt at jungle in the middle does nothing for me, but the rest of it is so good I'll go along with the 10 rating. Himawari is almost perfect too. Too bad the newest one sucked rocks.

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

― ciderpress, Friday, 19 October 2007 06:08 (eighteen years ago)

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"

LFO Advance you miserable cockfarmers.

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!

― blueski, Friday, 19 October 2007 12:32 (eighteen years ago)

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

i agree, it's such a big lush piece

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!

― lukas, Friday, 19 October 2007 15:42 (eighteen years ago)

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!

― blueski, Friday, 19 October 2007 15:44 (eighteen years ago)

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

too, but I actually don't think of it as an electronic album, particularly (whereas Reproduction is devoutly, exclusively so).

― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 25 December 2008 20:15 (seventeen years ago)

But yeh, I listened to Reproduction last night while I was wrapping Christmas presents, oddly enough, and I thought: this is one of the greatest artefacts in recorded sound.
