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

I've heard all three, and I very much enjoy them. I'll consider giving some of them a spot.

Sure, I'll give them a listen - when I can manage to find them.

Nice find with Aglaia - that's a tough one to get even digitally.

I have tried a few of those, others I've never heard of. I'll check them out, and consider the others (I'll add them to my ever-increasing list of "must-listen" albums). Thanks.

Yes, that's a good one. Very Chain Reaction/Basic Channel. It does deserve a place on the list.

Best Ambient music of all time

Sure, I'll give it a try. I don't tend to rate dark ambient all that highly, though.

Things Darktremor Finds Absurd

Indeed, totally ridiculous.

Darktremor's "Functional" Albums

That acid list really might be a while: acid is so hard to find these days, and using it takes up so much time, so I've only had the opportunity to use it twice. With all the work I have to do nowadays, lately it's been all about the amphetamines (they're my ADHD meds, but I often take a bit more than I probably should - if I have a lot of work to do). Glad you're excited about it anyway :D. While you wait, try this guide, I'm a big fan of it:

I know what you mean about post-rock, it's great background working stuff. It depends on your type of work though. My work is mostly research and programming now, so mechanical, machine-like music fits it perfectly.

Keep looking for a job, they're still out there, even in a recession. Of course, I might just be optimistic since I was able to find 2 - I got really lucky: apparently a programming and neuroscience/psychology mix in a person is almost impossible to find, and coveted. I've got no advice except to keep looking.

Good luck finding a place to marry too! Ever consider coming to Canada for that, BTW?

Specific genres of music I like

Yep, it's there - I just lump it in with psytrance.

Cool, thanks! I'm surprised you're a fan, I made this list more as a way to help myself keep track.

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

Yep. It's a perfect exercise in contrast. It manages to marry cute, pretty melodies to some of the most furious polyrhythmic percussion ever composed, and make them sound like perfect bedfellows. Few albums surprised me as much as Richard D. James did - while still remaining musical. I never knew what to expect in the next song, and it still throws me a loop to this day - which is something my musically jaded mind deeply cherishes. I'm also pretty much certain it's the first appearance of the "disturbed childhood" atmosphere that eventually made Boards of Canada famous.

I could go on about it, but it's likely love-it-or-hate-it - like most of Aphex Twin's work.

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

I've meant to check that out quite some time, actually. Thanks for reminding me. Might still be a while though, it always takes me forever to get around to checking out the really old electronic classics (like 70s and previous). I often find them quite noisy and difficult, so I tend to procrastinate on giving them a first listen.

I love Dominik Eulberg, but I really preferred his Kreucht & Freucht mix over Flora & Fauna. Good album, but I found it dragged a bit - too much filler.
