    My vote goes for Man Machine by Kraftwerk. Listening to it just now after a half bottle of red and it’s just incredible.

    Can’t go wrong with any Massive Attack album.

    Leftfield top of my list though.

    Its ‘The Girl With The Sun in her Head’ that I really love on that album.

    It’s like Kraftwerk goin Balaeric!

    Great albums already.

    Screamadelica? Slip Inside This House has to be one of the best covers ever!

    The reason for my username!

    Good call on Screamadelica. Defined a few years for me that one did.

    I saw the recent tour, and whilst the Screamadelica set was very good, it was clear that the band just wanted to play rock n roll. The encore took the roof off with Jailbird/rocks/country girl.

    Leftism another great album.

    For me, another one was FSOL Accelerator. It used to just keep looping in the car.

    Nitin Sawhney – Beyond Skin deserves a mention too I reckon..
    and Akasha Project but I couldn’t pick an album.. maybe Cosmic Ambient Garden.. and my last nomination will be..

    The Irresistible Force – It’s Tomorrow Already

    Of course…DJ Shadow.

    In that case, I’ll chuck in Brainfreeze.

    This thread is fairly fuelling my spotify playlist. Not listened to Nitihn Sawhney for a long time.

    Im going to add Amon Tobin – Out From Out Where and Boards Of Canada – Music Has the Right….

    Or Selected Ambient Vol. 1

    first time I went proper clubbing, I saw a live set by Children of the Bong….

    for that reason – Sirius Sounds is getting a place in the line up.

    Leftism is genius!
    808 state – pacific is an under-rated gem.
    Massive Attack – Mezzanine when you’re in a dark, thoughtful mood
    Underworld – dubnobass takes some beating. Just for ‘cowgirl’ alone!
    Does the happy Mondays hallelujah EP count? It’s one of the greatest of any genre, ever recorded!

    And for retro electronic, how about OMD – Architecture and Morality? Just listen to Georgia. Superb!

    Underworld; any of their albums but Beaucoup Fish being the best

    Four Tet – There is love in you

    Smiling now remembering when it was gloveboxes full of tapes, recorded by mates, and there was always something new tagged on the end to fill the 90mins. 🙂
