Has BoC Maxima been rereleased, stevem?

no, i think it is even better than Twoism as a collection myself tho

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:17 (twenty-two years ago)

you forgot You Can't Fight What You Can't See, Miccio! which I haven't heard. carry on.

why not

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:20 (twenty-two years ago)

M83 then!

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 3 June 2004 22:21 (twenty-two years ago)

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...)

Seefeel -- Polyfusia
Jess is OTM about Herbert's Around the House -- no one ever talks about this record; it's one of the best of its kind, no question
SAW II
Burger/Ink -- Las Vegas

― Clarke B. (Clarke B.), Friday, 4 June 2004 02:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I dunno about 808 State, Anthony, I think you might've kind of had to be there...

― Clarke B. (Clarke B.), Friday, 4 June 2004 02:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Not that I was, that's why I say that -- and I think we're about the same age.

Herbert - Bodily Functions although I probably like around the house a little bit better.

― hector (hector), Friday, 4 June 2004 03:10 (twenty-two years ago)

And Gear, wow, Snowboarding in Argentina is a GREAT record, I don't know about 10/10, but thanks for reminding me of it nonetheless!

― Clarke B. (Clarke B.), Friday, 4 June 2004 03:11 (twenty-two years ago)

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

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 4 June 2004 03:38 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― tylero (tylero), Friday, 4 June 2004 06:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Proswell - Carrot Dossier

My favorite album of 2003. Everyone everyone download it and then buy it because Merck needs your money. It actually is good...much more than just the palatable BoC wankage that is permeating the idm scene these days.

― fizzcaraldo (Justin M), Friday, 4 June 2004 06:29 (twenty-two years ago)

You know like that "magical nostalgic feeling" certain people get from Music Has The Right To...? I never quite got that but the same sort of feeling hits me with full force with Proswell.

― fizzcaraldo (Justin M), Friday, 4 June 2004 06:31 (twenty-two years ago)

yes more Swayzak love!!

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 4 June 2004 06:31 (twenty-two years ago)

the thread refers to Electronic albums. therefore can i pop Tangerine Dream into the the list ? White Eagle kinda spun my young teenage head for many years.

― mark e (mark e), Friday, 4 June 2004 08:27 (twenty-two years ago)

that Kinesthesia thing that's a side-project of Cylob

Kevin Braheny - Perelandra

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 4 June 2004 08:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Michael Stearns - Planetary unfolding.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 4 June 2004 08:31 (twenty-two years ago)

vahid, which are the ones you object to the most and why?

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 4 June 2004 08:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Whoever said 'Berlinette' is right on the money.

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Friday, 4 June 2004 08:34 (twenty-two years ago)

On what planet is The Contino Sessions an electronic album?

I don't understand the fascination with Around The House... its one of the most boringly middlebrow records I've heard to garner so much blanket critical jizzing.

My nominations would Agoria - Blossom and MRI's All That Glitters.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 4 June 2004 08:35 (twenty-two years ago)

so far stevem has stolen all of my choices (good call on the WoW), but i'll come up with a few more... and at least some that probably won't get mentioned anyway

New Order - PC&L
The Black Dog - Spanners
YMO - Solid State Survivor
Pet Shop Boys - Very
Kenny Larkin - Azimuth
Deee-Lite - Dewdrops In The Garden
Depth Charge - Nine Deadly Venoms
Plaid - Double Figure
Opus III - Mind Fruit
LSG - Into The Deep

not sure that they're all perfect 10s, but they all made quite an impression on me somewhere along the way and have stuck in my collection as favorites.

― rentboy (rentboy), Friday, 4 June 2004 08:53 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry i forget Death In Vegas are really just a rock band with the odd techno effect here and there...'Dead Elvis' worth mentioning tho

perhaps it's time to pay 'Electribal Memories' in full (but i've never heard it in full!)? and Inner City's 'Paradise'? and maybe even S Express 'Original Soundtrack'??

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 4 June 2004 09:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Karlheinz Stockhausen - Gesang der Junglinge/ Kontakte (Deutsche Grammophon 138811)

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 4 June 2004 09:01 (twenty-two years ago)

stevem - the ones i disagree with:

herbert - around the house ... you were saying about middlebrow, strongo?

v/a - relics ... derrick may's 30-second edits of tracks are astoundingly pretentious. that's not a "relic", that's an annoying fragment of a track that fucks up the flow of your album, dummy.

swayzak - both albums ... how the same people who like these guys can snicker at doc martin and hipp-e + halo is beyond me. it's like repping dope dragon instead of true playaz. at least proper san francisco trippy deep house artists have the good sense to drop references to drugs and fucking instead of modernist design

coldcut - let us play
fsol - anything

these inclusions are sort of mind-blowing, honestly. fsol has never ever ever done anything that wasn't simultaneously being done 100x better by their contemporaries. compare "papau new guinea" to "pacific state", "lifeforms" vs skylab's #1 or saw ii or irresistible force or atom heart's BASS or silver sound 60 or whatever, "dead cities" vs no-u-turn's output of the period. i don't even know how to address coldcut.

2LS - bag of blue sparks, tiny reminders
plaid - double figure
mu-ziq - royal astronomy

well, i guess it's touching that somebody cares, because these albums are the sounds of these artists painting themselves into corners from which they will never emerge.

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

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 4 June 2004 09:02 (twenty-two years ago)

"Western Spaces" - Steve Roach/Kevin Braheny/Richard Burmer

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 4 June 2004 09:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Morton Subotnick - "A sky of Cloudless Sulfur"

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 4 June 2004 09:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Steve Hillage - Rainbow Dome Musick

Oops, invasion of da hippies

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 4 June 2004 09:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh, I'll couner with Ash Ra Tempel - "blackouts". there's plenty of stuff listed upthread that's good, but I wonder how it's "electronic music", like Broadcast's "the noise made by people" is one of my favourite albums, but at that point at least, they wrer a rock band ffs!!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 4 June 2004 09:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Prefer "New Age of Earth". And "Apollo" is hardly an "electronic" album either.

it's a great album but i wouldn't give it 10/10. especially compared to a broken frame, black celebration, violator and ultra

I'd suggest

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c8/Dazzle_ships.jpg

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.

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

This may be my fave EM record ever:
