Electronic Albums That Deserve 10/10 Praise, Worship

:-( disc1 of lifeforms is a great big washy prog-ambient delight!!! the second disc is dull, but the first one is one of my most-played discs ever!

boards of canada - geogaddi and music has the right to children, i forgot about.

xpost: cruise yourself fools

But anyhow, back on subject...

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

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.

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.

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?

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!

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

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".

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

and music for the masses

John Foxx - Metamatic
Patrick Cowley - Mind Warp
Arpanet - Wireless Internet
Other People's Place - Lifestyles Of The Laptop Cafe

I'd suggest

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

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.

This may be my fave EM record ever:
