Electronic Albums That Deserve 10/10 Praise, Worship

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.

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.

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.

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'??

Karlheinz Stockhausen - Hymnen (Deutsche Grammophon 139 421122)

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.

Oops, invasion of da hippies

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
Daniel Wang -Idealism 2005

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:
