Not including mixes/compilations.

Any recommendations are welcome.

I've noticed a bit of an edit here. Shenzhou has gone from a 9.5 to a 9.25 and Substrata has moved up from 9.0 to a 9.25. I feel Substrata flows better as an album despite the fact Shenzhou has songs on it which sound more similar. Strange I know but I guess because there is a wider array of ambient on it, it feels more like a journey as it moves through the songs. Don't get me wrong Shenzhou is still amazing. Nice to see Aglaia move into 9.5 too. Is it just those 3 electronic albums you have listened to on holiday?

I think that Shenzhou is equal to Substrata now, further listening changed my mind to this view. I have mostly been listening to Classical and Frances The Mute. A LOT of Frances the Mute, I'm really liking that album now. Got any new albums?

Just your thoughts on what you would give:

The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld
Jean Michael Jarre's Oxygene
Portishead's Dummy

And also, why no mixes? What would you give Northern Exposure?

neptune08/12/2008

The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld : 7.0
Jean Michael Jarre's Oxygene : 7.0
Portishead's Dummy : An embaressing gap in my listening history.

Mixes are just glorified compilations is all...

What do you think of Black Secret Technology by A Guy Called Gerald? My favourite jungle album, only tipped by Bricolage.

neptune08/26/2008

Not heard it, I'll track it down soon. Does it sound like Bricolage?

Menindrag08/26/2008

Well it's has the same sort of atmosphere as Bricolage. Whereas Bricolage was more a mix of drum & bass, jazz, funk & hip hop, Black Secret Technology is very much a drum & bass album. It came before Goldie's "Timeless" and Bricolage which adds something to the album.

Also has a brilliant remix of Voodoo Ray.

I liked it. Probably 7/10, I just didn't like it as much as Bricolage. Thanks for the rec though.

Menindrag09/28/2008

No space for Global Communication - 76:14? It's certainly as good as Three Organic Experiences and in my opinion, as good as Irrlicht.

neptune09/29/2008

Maybe an 8.0, certainly not as good as Irrlicht in my opinion, but still a good album.
