For me though (and it is not an exhaustive list...) Leftfield: Rhythm & Stealth (Leftism is a close run thing though) Depthcharge: Nice Deadly Venoms Quantic: The 5th Exotic just pips Apricot Morning Other mentions for Stanton Warriors, Mr. Scruff (Fish, Ahoy There) and Fatboy Slim Crag on "Best electronic album of all time?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/best-electronic-album-of-all-time/page/7#post-3627922 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 23:08:52 +0000 Crag 3627922@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ As many others have said, some quality suggestions up there. I'll throw another one in. The Field - Looping State of Mind. On another note, I'm off to re-live my yoof with an Orbital gig in a couple of weeks. Can't wait, should be a top night. jruk on "Best electronic album of all time?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/best-electronic-album-of-all-time/page/7#post-3627717 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 22:16:46 +0000 jruk 3627717@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Ahhhh, Access. I (sort of) remember Steve Mason (I think) playing it at Club UK on NYE 1994. Amazing times. That and Dave Clarke playing Red 2 at Atomic Jam, Hardfloor doing Acperience live at Tribal Gathering... Thank you all for making feel 19 again. Time to load up the tunes for my next ride... cheese@4p on "Best electronic album of all time?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/best-electronic-album-of-all-time/page/7#post-3627424 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 21:21:55 +0000 cheese@4p 3627424@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Primal Scream - Echo Dek is an old fave I don't think has been mentioned ds3000 on "Best electronic album of all time?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/best-electronic-album-of-all-time/page/7#post-3625755 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 12:58:11 +0000 ds3000 3625755@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Yes, a great thread.

Working through some of the tracks on Spotify, sitting in the sun in the garden. I'd add Cornelius - "point" - mad mix of electronica and prog. rock.

Originally heard his music through "Everything is Wrong" but also really like "Play". t_i_m on "Best electronic album of all time?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/best-electronic-album-of-all-time/page/7#post-3625314 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 11:11:15 +0000 t_i_m 3625314@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ This is the best thread for ages. A couple of glaring ommisions from my previous post: Trentemoller - The Last Resort Sven Vath - An Accident in Paradise And a correction: The Drum Club - Everything is Now (came out about the same time as Orbital's Green & Brown albums. IMHO, better than both) Not sure where to draw the line on what constitutes an electronic album. But seeing as we're heading in this direction and that it does contain a substantial amount of electronic music: Coldcut - Journeys By DJ (possibly the best album of any genre, ever) And if you liked that, then list to this (almost as good): DJ Food - Now Listen (and Now Listen, Again) And best electronic single: LSG - Hearts Dorset_Knob on "Best electronic album of all time?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/best-electronic-album-of-all-time/page/7#post-3625312 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 11:09:55 +0000 Dorset_Knob 3625312@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Don't know if it's been mentioned but 'Mecanno Mind' by Syntax has to be up there. slinkybike on "Best electronic album of all time?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/best-electronic-album-of-all-time/page/7#post-3625176 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 10:36:24 +0000 slinkybike 3625176@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Not a album but a moment at a UR gig in London in the late 90's a night club in Vauxhall the dj played numbers Mixed it into final frontier by UR I was so happy I think I made a little sex wee. But if we are doing singles final frontier has to be up there I still have a unopened copy. swamptin on "Best electronic album of all time?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/best-electronic-album-of-all-time/page/7#post-3624999 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 09:51:47 +0000 swamptin 3624999@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Glad to see Aphex Twin/AFX/Richard D. James get mentioned multiple times. I'm gonna say, in the minimalist corner Donnacha Costello - 6X. And because it's just a beautiful album, Jeff Mills - Blue Potential. And yes, I'm fully aware it contains a full concert orchestra, but for me, that's what makes it so good as an album. ds3000 on "Best electronic album of all time?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/best-electronic-album-of-all-time/page/7#post-3623279 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 17:15:44 +0000 ds3000 3623279@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Speedy J - Ginger Leftfield - Leftism Orbital - Any Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 Sasha and Digweed - Renaissance Paul Oakenfold - Goa Mix (Radio 1) mudman3 on "Best electronic album of all time?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/best-electronic-album-of-all-time/page/7#post-3623247 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 16:52:01 +0000 mudman3 3623247@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Some brilliant suggestions, with some great memories, here's a few more....

Their mixes under the same moniker are pretty decent too.

Listening to Computer World now after reading your post, goosebumps indeed. The song Computer World 2 must be one of the prettiest things ever. Been listening to Kraftwerk since I was about 11, way back in the early '80s. Own every single album and a huge fan, my fave band by a country mile. wait4me on "Best electronic album of all time?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/best-electronic-album-of-all-time/page/7#post-3622697 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 10:11:42 +0000 wait4me 3622697@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Thanks for a great thread one and all. So many greats in there. Spent a pleasant few hours listening to various Boards of Canada long players on the Linn. If there's a family tree, the one song I can trace it all back to is Numbers by Kraftwerk. Electronica, Hip-Hop, the lot. Such an amazing song that still gives me goosebumps today.
