Electronic/Dance Music: The 500 Essential Albums

Just realized you had the Black Dog stuff and Skream! A few other note:

- You had Ulrich's Strangely Isolated Places but not "Far Away Trains Passing By"? I think that album is his best.
- I forgot the add Aglaia's Three Organic Experiences. It is thee best ambient album I've ever heard!
- If you can find it, Arc of Doves's "Mille Plateaux" is the best dub techno album I've heard. Better than all of the Basic Channel stuff I've heard.
- I didn't see any of Four Tet's stuff on your list too I think.
- James Holden's Balance 005
- For Drum n Bass, check out Plug's Drum'n'Bass For Papa. Also, London Elektricity.
- Plastikman's Musik

Ok, I'm done...sorry. I can talk electronic music for awhile.

Hello,

Amorphous Androgynous, Cosmic Baby, Pleadians & Astral Projection are already on my list. I will def check out the other 3 albums you mentioned as I have never heard them. Thx! Amorphous is in my top 40 albums and Cosmic Baby is in my top 75. Pleadians I wasn't a big fan of, kinda boring.

Top 100 Electronic Music (including trance, house, techno, ambient, IDM, jungle, goa, avante-garde, indie electronic, etc.) Albums of All Time

pachanko,

I just checked out some tracks off that Plug album you mentioned and very good! I had never heard of it. I'm a huge fan of Amon Tobin so it was pretty exciting to hear it. In case you never read through all of darktremr's comments, I actually created my own list (via tumblr) in case you're interested. Darktremr was a huge help to my on-going research... http://top-electronic-music-albums.tumblr.com/
