Some brilliant suggestions, with some great memories, here's a few more....
House of 909-The children that we were
St Etienne-fox base alpha
The Prodigy-experience
David Holmes-Lets get killed
Air- Moon Safari
Portishead-Dummy
Speedy J - Ginger
Leftfield - Leftism
Orbital - Any
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92
Sasha and Digweed - Renaissance
Paul Oakenfold - Goa Mix (Radio 1)
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.
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.
Don't know if it's been mentioned but 'Mecanno Mind' by Syntax has to be up there.
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
Another omission - Dug out some of Moby's stuff over the weekend as a result of this thread! Originally heard his music through "Everything is Wrong" but also really like "Play".
Really enjoying this 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.
Yes, a great thread. I remember being in a darkened corner of Cream in 1995, ahem...Laurent Garnier playing this..
Primal Scream - Echo Dek is an old fave I don't think has been mentioned
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...
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.
I see a lot of tracks and albums here that I have either owned, played, or both.
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
