daft punk - discoveryfila brazilia - maim that tuneaphex twin - saw 85-92basement jaxx - remedyboards of canada - music has the right...prodigy - experiencekraftwerk - computer worldoval - diskont94new order - pc&l
and i would add these to my list
jeff mills - live at the liquid roomurban tribe - collapse of modern culturereflection - the errornormous worldmr fingers - amnesiasuicide - 1st album
and i wish i could add these but they're honestly not 10/10, just more favorites
two lone swordsmen - the fifth mission
2nd half of 1st disc lets down the insane quality of the rest of it
psyche/bfc - elements 1989-1990paperclip people - 4mypeepz ep69 - sound of music
ok the fact that i can't pick which one makes the list makes me think maybe carl craig doesn't make the list. i had a similar problem with choosing between various artists and maurizio and porter ricks for a token berlin dub cd.
i also had similar problems with morgan geist, ken ishii though these i think are more cases where they are fascinating artists that keep drawing me back to their work - they might be among my all-time favorites but i don't think they really have an album that's 10/10 ... maybe a long run of 9/10 and 8/10 albums and a couple songs on each one that are like 20/10.

scratch that depth charge then, cos it's just a singles comp, really
also, do dj mixes count here? cos NE and NE2 are probably my most played "electronic" albums ever.

I'd like Melodic Records to produce a classic record someday - Pedro, Minotaur Shock, Empire State et al have their moments but not accross an entire record yet, maybe that Pedro one might qualify with time.

Aphex Twin, Come to Daddy
is the only electronic album that hasn't kinda diminished for me in some way. just gets better and better.
too bad it's kind of unrelentingly sad (but! it isn't just stupidly _melancholy_ all the way through. lotsa idm is adolescent moping, this is fully sublimated adult depression).

well, i think JOS is vibrantly, madly tacky. i often go "omg wtf lol" when i contemplate tracks like "the fusion formula" and "harsh realities" (where robots sing their problems to us) and "the naphosisous wars" (the who???) ... it's so blatantly ridiculous, so misguidedly aspirational, so serious and at the same time comfortable and benevolent and besides each track is just stuffed with one-of-a-kind production madness. and all of the UFO stuff is just fabulous, you just knew they're full of shit but it's SO endearing.
"around the house" in comparison is just furniture to me. "bodily functions" even worse. the cover makes me think of the ads for "creative agencies" in the back of lifestyle mags.

b-but it is called "around the house"!
― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 4 June 2004 23:34 (nineteen years ago) link
the thing i never understood is what's wrong with syrupy drum and bass ballads about golden ages of nubian wisdom and secret ufo languages and trees of wisdom??? i thought we liked camp!! and it's not like i have anything better to believe in than nubian ufo wisdom anyway, it's a lot easier to swallow than the shit the designers republic is always throwing at me. and i was listening to roberta flack and minnie ripperton already ...

xpost: haha yeah well it being furniture music is precisely why i LIKE it so much. the only thing that remotely stands out is "going round".

Stockhausen, Massive Attack, Burger/Ink - Las Vegas (also Burger's Lush Life Electronica as The Bionaut), Orb - Adventures seconded (and Sun Electric have also done a couple perfect LPs I'd say).
ellen allien - weiss mix, berlinette ... if anybody cares about her in three years i'll eat my trucker hat.Seconded, I'll be eating my Red Sox cap.
Looking at slightly larger spines on the vinyl wall...
Kraftwerk (and Señor Coconut by association), The Residents, Eno all have several perfect electronic music albums I cannot choose from.
Model 500 - Sonic Sunset & UR - Revolution For ChangeJedi Knights - New School Science (short of seconding the Global Comm love.. these guys must have done something right !)The KLF - CHill OutThe Sabres Of Paradise - Sabresonic (prolly just being sentimental here)Esplendor Geometrico - Kosmos Kino (amazing covers from these cats always)Suicide - SuicideCabaret Voltaire - Mix-UpRobert Hood - Minimal NationHippnotic Culture (Terrence Dixon) - Population 1Hell - Geteert & Gefedert (forget your Acid Scouts, here's your Bartz)The Private Lightning Six - They Came DownKruder & Dorfmeister - G-Stoned & Nightmares On Wax - Smokers DelightMotorbass - Pansoul (conveniently, the longer re-release)Khan & Walker - Empire State BuildingCristian Vogel - Absolute TimeLe Coeur - Suddenly
Reprazent's New Forms, Hardfloor's TB Resuscitation, Mills' Waveform Transmissions 1 & 3who would have thought they wouldn't remain stone cold classics ? Houch.
