i feel there's this aspect to electronic music that actively works against the idea of a canon. there's other reasons for the glut of whitelabels as well but it feels like part of it is that once you start talking about which records are The Best you close yourself off to the new.

Are electroacoustic experiments allowed? Like say:
Alvin Curran - Canti Illuminati (1982)Alvin Lucier - I am sitting in a room (1981)

Anyhow noone has mentioned Kraftwerk and Man Machine, Computerworld, Trans Europa Express and Autobahn are pretty much perfect.

after years of being on ILx, I have never ever trolled anyone.it's not my style.I was genuine re my suggestion re the TOTAL archive, I love them and think they provide a great entry point into all that is wonderful about electronica.(just needed to put that out the TLG .. )

I think some people don’t rate it highly but I really enjoy the Voices From the Lake self-titled, it’s pretty sublime. Some may find it boring, though.
The Moodymann DJ Kicks compilation is essential.
Yagya has released some vv beautiful dub techno, especially the album ‘Rigning’.

It's a comp, but Carl Craig's Sessions deserves all the acclaim it gets. I keep telling myself I should start a poll for it, I should get on that
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Sunday, 13 May 2018 06:24 (five years ago) link
Dr Eich absolutely otm
love Moodyman's DJ Kicks but it's barely "electronica" imo, thought about mentioning Silentintroduction tho
Brad otm about Rush being otm, fuck an album tbh

Ok fine here are some random personal touchstones with no order or sense of completeness:
Telefon Tel Aviv - Fahrenheit Fair EnoughAutechre - Chiastic Slide5 Years of Hyperdub compsd Laika - That's HarakiriJames Blake - first 3 EPs and the s/t albumMount Kimbie - Maybes EP and Crooks & LoversActress - SplazshHudson Mohawke - Satin Panthers EPFlying Lotus - Los AngelesTeebs - ArdourRustie - Glass SwordsShlohmo - Bad VibesLotic - Heterocetera EPM.E.S.H. - Damaged Merc EPSHALT - Acheron EP
And lots of more dance-oriented stuff that doesn't slot easily into albums or EPs.
