- Underworld - 'Beaucoup Fish'
- Orb - 'Live 93'
- Leftfield - Leftism

'Königsforst' - was the other Gas album. Probably my favourite 'autumn/winter solo ride' or '1am through the cans' tune:
Some cracking albums being mentioned I'd actually forgotten about.
Time to open up iTunes.
Couple of overnight thoughts
Jamie XX - In Colour
Disclosure - Settle
it's a bit specific, but that's because all my other responses have been covered.
Underworld, Cowgirl_Rez. With the Koyaanisqatsi time-lapse video, for extra betterness.
this:
Underworld - Everything Everything is an all time favourite too
Probably not the best but some ones i like (and can think of)
Aim - cold water music
Aim - fabric live (17). Version with Souls of mischief is better IMO. which lead me to...
boards of canada - music has the right to reply
Gil scott heron/ jamie xx: we're new here
most recently: Jamie XX - in colour
I listen to a load of electronic music...
I've always been blown away by the really early stuff -
Tontos Expanding Head Band - Zero Time 1971
Raymond Scott - Soothing Sounds For Baby (vol 1,2 and 3) 1963/4
Joe Meek and the Blue Men - I Hear A New World 1960
Pierre Henry, Michel Colombier- Messe pour le temps présent 1967
Vom Himmel Hoch from Kraftwerk deserves a special mention as well.
^ 🙂 🙂 Cowgirl/Rez
Like most here (I imagine), I first became aware of Underworld because Trainspotting lager lager lager blager. Was initially cold towards them (still can't hack that song'). Wasn't until 1999/2000 (shit is it that late already?) that a friend handed me a mix CD that I really dipped in and became FOREVER SMITTEN. The last EP in the riverrun series (I'm A Big Sister...') is probably worth a mention, it features some ambient/introspective pieces and glides along beautifully.
Notice they're doing Glasto this year? (Imagines Underworld collaboration with Jeff Lynne/ELO (omgomgomgtrippinballllsss!)
Can't turn this off - does it count?

Ah yes, those long long tracks are wonderful. Looks Like they don't sell em on underworldlive.com anymore 😕

Challenge accepted - 64hr 15min playlist.
tomthumb - I think the BoC is Music has the Right to Children... but yes, it is utterly awesome 🙂
Personal electronica fave is maybe that ^^, Plaid's Not For Threes, or Dumb Flesh by Blanck Mass
Aphex Twin - SAW 1
BOC - Music has the right to children
Orbital - In Sides
Kraftwerk - Computer world
Plastikman - Musik
Tangerine Dream - Poland
Autechre - LP5
Squarepusher - Feed me weird things
Cylob - Previously unavailable on compact disc

Could go on and on and on......
Not pure electronic but certainly synth heavy
The Album Leaf - Into The Blue Again
Hauntingly beautiful album
And no-ones mentioned LFO yet? You're all barred. Get your coats....
Boards of Canada
Frederic Robinson - Mixed Signals
Kimyan Law - Couer Calme
Metalheadz Platinum Breakz
Sabres of Paradise
Nightmares on Wax
DJ Shadow - Entroducing
Massive Attack vs Mad Professor
Portishead - Dummy
Some standouts in those lists
plaid, ulrich snauas, boards of Canada,
Can't believe someone said Faithless. That's like chucking a late 80s Phil Collins album into a discussion on heavy metal drum solos.
Love spirals downwards - Flux
Baxter - Baxter
Lamb - their first one, was it also called Lamb
That Hamburg jobbie is excellent thanks for making me aware.
Nightmares on Wax - Carboot soul
The K&D sessions
Northern Exposure volume one
Cinematic Orchestra - Everyday (not completely electronic but cracking none the less)
I probably prefer Aphex Twin's SAW2 to SAW.
Also forgot to mention:
Yoseph - Luke Vibert
The Apocolypse Strikes Black - Public Enemy - does that count?
Bio Rhythm 2 - "808 909 1991" (compilation from network)
No electronic music collection is complete without works by the Sculptress of Sound:
Com Truise - Galactic Melt

Don't be such a snob! That's my job 😉
I've pre-ordered Global Underground's new Afterhours album as the [url= https://soundcloud.com/global-underground-ltd/sets/global-underground ]preview on Soundcloud[/url] sounds right up my street. And because my memory is shocking it will be a total surprise when it turns up.
Ben Klock - One
Exit planet dust
K&D sessions
Many, many others - those just sprung to mind.
Com Truise - Galactic Melt
I know technically it's an EP but Cyanide Sisters...
Ooh, can't believe I forgot about
Moodymann - Black Mahogani
Banco de Gaia - last train to Lhasa. Glastonbury 1995 flashbacktastic.
Faithless rule and prodigy. Also morcheeba, hybrid, chemical bros, new order, Adam Freeland but I'm going ot.
Drive soundtrack is definitely worth a mention
