Best Electronic Albums - (with more info)

Scubadevils

I know there have been 'best album' threads before but I was thinking it would be great to compile a list of the very best in electronic albums in such a way that it could act as a resource/reference point for people looking for new/old album suggestions - and also to find out more about the suggestion all in the one post.

What I would like to see or suggest would be that one album is suggested per post with a bit of info and links to the album and the artist - also if you know of more info such as an alias that the artist worked as, collaborations with others, labels, genres, history, youtube clips etc...basically anything that could be useful for people to look further into the details posted. I might be pushing it here but even post some album artwork if possible! This will also encourage and educate the person posting even more possibly about their own collection - I have been surprised many a time over the years what I have learnt when delving into the details of an album in every aspect and discovered other gems as a result. Maybe post additional albums by the same artist in the one post but mention if a member of the group was not involved or there were other collaborations etc. Equally if someone posts about one album and goes into some detail but someone else picks another album and has more to add, so be it... as long as it doesn't become an argument as to which is better etc.

I say only go with one per post so as it to keep it tidy and easy for all to look further into a post that may interest them. It's easy to list off a rake of the best albums but I think it would be much more useful to keep it tidy and go into some detail if possible. It would be great to see this being added to slowly with some thought and time going into each post rather than a load of albums simply listed. I suppose though not everyone has time to put into this but even a link to discogs and amazon would be good, also an ?/10 rating. Maybe listen to the album you are posting about while posting for inspiration

I am always on the look out for new music and to be further educated in general about dance/electronic music so would love to see a thread like this take shape.

I am not going to post one yet myself, need to have a think about what I will suggest first.

Appreciate any thoughts too as to how this thread should be constructed as I am sure I have missed some points or gone OTT on others

Ok, I am going to go with the following album first. I was just listening to this again the other day and have stuck it on again now. Amazing album by one of the many best artists in electronic music from over the years; Oliver Lieb.

This album is an excellent example of some of the best in trance from the 90's. It is actually a continuous mix and flows really well from start to finish, nice and bangin later on Only example of a track I could find on youtube is the following -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slpgj-be4qo

The album is unfortunately no longer available (which tends to be the case with so many of the best electronic albums ) but obviously has some second-hand buying options -

I will also include here 'Volume Two' from 1996 which is as the name suggests, the second album release from L.S.G. and again on the amazing Superstition label - http://www.discogs.com/label/Superstition

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQcx1gWOhmM

As with the first album, this is no longer available but can be got second-hand.

Oliver Lieb is a genius and has produced some amazing music over the years under a variety of aliases and as part of other groups, collaborations. Some examples -

One other youtube clip worth mentioning for those that may not know his work, one of the very best trance tracks ever made IMO >

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwzziOVSRqs

I know nothing about his more recent work or the label he started (http://www.discogs.com/label/Maschine) after leaving Superstition in 2004 but I am going to look into it now. Anyone know this label or anything about Lieb these days?

Probably the first Electronic music album that I totally fell in love with, and still regularly listen to today, and have done consistently since the day it was released - 10 years ago almost to the Day!


Propellerheads- DecksAndDrumsAndRockAndRoll



1. "Take California" – 7:23
2. "Echo And Bounce" – 5:29
3. "Velvet Pants" – 5:49
4. "Better?" – 2:05
5. "Oh Yeah?" – 5:28
6. "History Repeating" – 4:05
7. "Winning Style" – 6:00
8. "Bang On!" – 5:57
9. "A Number Of Microphones" – 0:48
10. "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" – 9:23
11. "Bigger?" – 2:22
12. "Cominagetcha" – 7:07
13. "Spybreak!" – 7:00

Big beats. Hip-hop. James Bond. Propellerheads' "Decksanddrumsandrockandroll," a wildly enticing album that mixes dance music with a James Bondian atmosphere. Its crossover appeal and originality are very good, but the raw energy is the icing on the cake.

A cheerful, sputtering radio sample opens the album, before leading into a gritty maze of electrobeats and percussion, interspersed with samples. It's heavy stuff, but still fun. Things reach their heaviest point near the end when jazz rhythms are mingled with deep vocal samples and some blisteringly raw electronic buzzes.

The best songs of all are the ones with a distinctly James Bondian flair: "History Repeating" is a wonderfully overwrought lounge-dance song, with Shirley Bassey roaring that, "And I've seen it before/and I'll see it again/just little bits of history repeating!" Same with spy dance-track "Spybreak." But things reach their peak with "In Her Majesty's Secret Service," a ten minute opus that mingles majestic retro with big beat fun, complete with an orchestral brass climax.

If it sounds fun, that's because it is.

KevIRL

Great idea for a thread Felix. All these 'best ever' and recommend me threads pop up every now and again.

Im gonna sticky this. Will add some albums to it a little later

Scubadevils

Cheers for the sticky Kev, will be good to hopefully see this grow over time.

Westbam - Bam bam bam - Its probably my favourite elctronic album. It fuses energy, melody, and a nice mix on unusual techno undercurrents to make some serious classics. "Track" favourite song on it.

Another hot one for me is FSOL - Lifeforms. No real emphisis on beats, but melody + trance + an explosive variety of sounds mean that you cant really anticipate whats coming next. "Flak", Omniprescence, "Vertical Pig" and "Room 208" are my favourites on it.

Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Charlottenburg - Its a cheesy happy hardcore cd, but it fills me when Im hungry for a quick blast of chaotic, high energy and melodic dance. "This Christmas" favourite song.

808 State - Ex:el - A bit like Lifeforms, is melodic techno from the early 1990's. Good songs with great variety. "Nephatiti" favourite tune on it.

"Juan Atkins’ long-awaited restrospective of his work on Metroplex from 1985-2005. 23 beyond classic tracks, which celebrate 20 years of Juan Atkins’ re-writing techno music..this is the most extensive retrospective yet of techno music’s most famous innovator. Juan personally selected all the tracks on this double CD pack, containing a few pre-Metroplex tracks from his early Cybotron project, but with the bulk of his important works coming from his Metroplex catalogue, a label which he founded in 1985." www.boomkat.com

I only got this about 6 weeks ago or so, really brilliant album by the excellent David Moufang. Highly recommended.

David Moufang aka Move D is a true pioneer of electronic music. He released on labels like Warp, Reflective, Freundinnen, Compost's Black Label and of course on his own label Source. Originally from Heidelberg Germany, David Moufang spent his childhood listening to the likes of Kraftwerk and Pink Floyd – yet rather than credit these auteurs with the inspiration behind his work, Moufang pinpoints another factor as the core influence to his musical gestation; space. Having been profoundly affected by a trip to the cinema to see ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, Moufang spent his childhood obsessed with the cosmos – and when the desire to make music eventually took over it’s little wonder that the results incorporated such strong elements of the ethereal and otherworldly. Schooled in classical percussion and with a keen talent for jazz guitar, Moufang was introduced to techno in 1989 by a friend and rapidly began to devour output from 808 State, Nexus 21 and Detroit’s finest – finally releasing his first record alongside Jonas Grossmann as Deep Space Network. By the time his first solo work crept out as part of a Source Records compilation (‘Homeworks’) in 1993, Moufang had already displayed a loose-limbed approach to techno that sent the foundations of Detroit spinning off into a new and laid-back orbit. CCO rereleased his classic album "Kunststoff in 2006. He will release a new album on City Centre Offices in 2007.

B12 - Time Tourist



Following on from the first album Electro-Soma, this is the next release from B12 which was in 1996. I haven't seen this album anywhere for years but it has appeared again on Warpmart in the last while.

http://www.discogs.com/release/3622

http://warpmart.com/item/B12/Time%20Tourist/2718

Listen -

http://www.last.fm/music/B12/Time+Tourist

B12 is a British electronic music duo consisting of Mike Golding and Steve Rutter. Golding and Rutter, who shy away from the press and rarely give interviews, have also released material under the monikers Musicology, Redcell and Cmetric, and distribute their material on their own B12 record label. Their sound is usually categorized as techno or intelligent dance music (IDM).

Their first full-length album, Electro-Soma, is a collection of early work (some tracks originally released under the Musicology and Cmetric names) which was released by Warp Records in 1993. Their music also appeared on the Warp compilation album Artificial Intelligence. A printing error on the CD insert indicates that this album contains twelve tracks, and in fact it has thirteen ("Drift", originally thought to be available only on the vinyl version of the album, is in fact on the CD release too).
In 1996 the pair returned with Time Tourist, which contained mostly new material. The track "Scriptures" was previously released in 1994 on the Artificial Intelligence II compilation.
Both albums were re-released in the United States on the Wax Trax!/TVT label.
The brief 3EP followed in 1998, marking a change in sound from the heavily Detroit-techno-influenced albums. The EP was not released in the United States.
Also known as B.12 here on Last.fm.

DeepChord Presents Echospace - The Coldest Season

http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=37153

After four sellout twelves and a barrage of critical acclaim - Deepchord's full length Echospace excursion "The Coldest Season" is at long last available on CD and Download - featuring material not featured on the EP's and different versions of familiar tracks - all expertly blended and mastered by Rod Modell for your enjoyment. Produced using nothing but vintage analog equipment : Roland Space Echo, Echoplex, Korg tape delay, vintage signal processors, noise generators, Sequential Circuits 8 bit samplers & numerous analog synthesizers - this project goes back to the heady days of Berlin-based proto dub/techno variations, recorded and produced in Detroit and Chicago. Three of the worlds most important Techno cities colliding to form a whole that perfectly bridges the gap between The Motor City's emotive arrangements, The Windy city's percussive robustness, and Berlin's life-altering Basic Channel continuum. Listened to in one sitting, "The Coldest Season" chooses a different arrangement and track selection to slowly build up momentum and space - taking in the muted steppers reduction of "Abraxas" and the icy soundscaping of "Ocean Of Emptiness" before reaching a crescendo of sorts with the radiant techno of "Elysian" and the majestic dub killer "Empyrean" - the most revered track on board bringing this 80 minute album to a perfect close. Where Echospace go from here only time will tell - but for the moment "The Coldest Season" is a perfect distillation of dub techno and BASS reductions for 2007 and beyond. ESSENTIAL PURCHASE!

When I talk of neurofibro its hard not to think of the two EP's that preceded it. Both the 'Peace of Mind' and 'Section' EP's set the foundation and mood of the masterpiece that followed and its hard not to include these as part of the album proper. The vinyl and CD release of the album featured a different tracklist, but even at that there is still tracks on both EP's that didn't make the final version on either format. No doubt there was tough decisions in the Ai Records offices as to what would make the final cut because what both EP's and the following LP consisted of was nothing short of genius. I picked up both EP's at once and listened to them practically non stop for weeks on end. After a few listens I really started to hear a lot of pain and sorrow within each track (I know how pretentious that sounds but you really can feel it). But it was only when the album was released that it became obvious why. The album title refers to neurofibrosis, a bone disease that producer Mark Stewart was suffering from whilst making his debut long player, and you really can hear a battle being fought throughout this album. It has its critics though. There are those that think the album was over rated and over celebrated. But I've always maintained that this was because of the hype and expectation that was thrown upon the album by the success of the two EP's. In my mind the album is a continuation of the previous releases and was never intended to improve or out-do what came before it. Why this album is so important to me is because it opened my eyes to what electronic music could be. I was listening to a lot of really tough techno and electro at the time and this was a breath of fresh air. I was only just gone 18 and my idea of techno was largely based on what worked a dancefloor. This introduced me to another way of thinking about music, it would even help me to go back and better recognise and understand the emotion that lay within the aggressive styles I had been used to before that. It really is a modern classic and you should make an effort to track it down if you can. It will be next to impossible to source either EP or the vinyl LP but you may be able to come across the CD version. His 'Warehouse Sessions' series on Modern Love is also pretty much essential while his latest opus Metanarative has just received top honours in DJ mag. Thanks for reading.

I know its a bit cliched but Sasha & Digweed Renaissance The Mix Collection has to be the benchmark for a mix compilation, never get sick of it. If you listen to some of these tracks on their own, they arent that brilliant. But in this set they are unbelievable, perfect set construction.

Also the best live mix I've ever heard has to be Sasha mix on Sasha/Cj Mackintosh Mixmag Live! Vol 3. Originally released on Cassette in 1992 and then re-released in 1996 on CD. Back when mixes were done in 1 take without the aid of computer interference, this has to be the best live mix I've ever heard. You can hear a couple of **** ups which makes it all the more appealing. Plus my favourite tune of all time is on it. Coco Steel & Lovebomb Feel It.

'Microgravity' was the first the world heard from Geir Jenssen's Biosphere project and introduced everyone to his patented electronic ambient sounds. Before this he had been recording acid house under the Bleep moniker but changed his name to avoid association with Sheffield's signature 'bleep' sound. This album was the first in a long line of work from Jenssen, and saw him at his tentative stages fusing house-influenced beats with film samples and floating synthesized textures. As with the album's follwup 'Patashnik', the most appropriate comparison would be to the early work of Richard D. James, but also contains elements of early Orb or 808 State, albeit with much more of an eye towards melody and harmony. This was music to play in the darkened back room of a club rather than on the main dancefloor and would see the whole ambient electronic genre grow rapidly around it. Biosphere stayed as one of the names to watch throughout the entire 90s (culminating with the incredible and genre-defining 'Substrata') and it's truly eye opening to hear these early recordings and the beginnings of such an important artist.

Long gone on vinyl and packed to the UR rafters with impossible to find material, this Galaxy 2 Galaxy compilation is a double-must for all lovers of the hi-tech jazz style laid down and pioneered years ago by Underground Resistance and wearing its years with far more grace than most of us could hope for... With so many retrospectives a cynical cash-cow for their label, it's a real treat to come across something that has obviously been done for reasons other than £££ - with the likes of 'Metamorphosis', 'Nation 2 Nation', 'Deep Space 9' and 'Hi-Tech Jazz' all sounding vital, exhilarating and thrillingly visceral. Spread over 2 CD's and exhibiting a predilection that borders on the hypotonic, the Galaxy To Galaxy collective prove why they are held in such reverence. Out of this world!

http://www.discogs.com/release/240315

This is an absolutely fantastic album for relaxing to. It is the first I have heard from Deadbeat and will definitely be looking for more.

Though based in Montreal, Deadbeat and his ultra-textured ambient dub soundscapes made their way around the world, finding large audiences in Europe as well as in North America. Deadbeat producer Scott Monteith is a member of the same fertile Montreal scene that includes such luminaries as Akufen (Marc Leclair) and Algorithm (Jeff Milligan). Like his peers, he gained international acclaim in the early 2000s once the French-Canadian city became a hot spot for laptop techno (see the Montreal Smoked Meat compilation), thanks partly to the world-reknown Mutek festival as well as a wealth of Montreal-based record labels. Monteith debuted as Deadbeat in July 2000 with the Cesium Beam 12” for Hautec Records and has since recorded for such labels as Revolver, Intr_Version, Background, Force Inc, Oral, Scape, Cynosure, and Clitekture. In addition, he has collaborated with Steve Beaupre as Crack Haus and also with Robert Henke (Monolake) as Atlantic Waves.

Monteith moved to Montreal in 1995 and quickly became enthralled by the city’s underground community of digital musicians and artists, eventually co-founding the multi-media collective Covert Ops. He began recording music as Deadbeat in early 1998 and released his first 12” in 2000. A year later fellow Montreal producer Mitchell Akiyama released the debut Deadbeat full-length, Primordia (2001), on his Intr_Version label, and another year later Stefan Betke (Pole) released the follow-up, Wild Life Documentaries (2002), on his Scape label. During the intermittent time, numerous other labels released Monteith’s recordings as Deadbeat; most notably, Force Inc showcased the producer’s work — both as Deadbeat and as half of Crack Haus — on its scene-encapsulating Montreal Smoked Meat (2002) collection. In addition to his recordings, Monteith has performed live at the Mutek festival (Montreal, May 2000), the Transmediale festival (Berlin, February 2002), and the Creative Time festival (New York, October 2002), as well as elsewhere. By day he works for the Montreal-based audio software company Applied Acoustics Systems.
http://www.last.fm/music/Deadbeat/+wiki

The second offering from Montreal's Scott Monteith, aka Deadbeat, for the Scape imprint, "Something Borrowed, Something Blue"" is another sublime study of microscopic rhythm structures and dub variations from a man who cut his first album from the same cloth as that Pole used so well for his groundbreaking debut six years ago. Produced in homage to his recent marriage (hence the title), the album also contains an effortless romantic undertone that's built around simple piano notes, effervescent textures and an unusual percussive character (crickets chirping, space echoes fragmenting) that's in turn startling and humerous - a rare feat in the ever-serious world of electronic music. The epic "Head Over Heels" is quite possibly the most overtly romantic and groundbreaking piece on offer - a haunting elevation of strings and solitary piano lines counterpointing the delays and bass modulations of the dub scope with beautiful assymetry and feel for heart-stopping nuance. "Requiem", meanwhile, dusts off the bassline legacy of Sly and Robbie at their most devastating and goes for the dub jugular with utmost depth. In all, a worthy follow up to Deadbeat's excellent debut - further studies into the nether regions of dub and its fractured worlds of possibility. Lovely.

What can you say really about this album except for if you don't already own a copy, you really need to go buy it. Absolutely amazing and in my case what started my passion for electronic music back when I bought it originally in about 93 or so. I plan to also buy this new remastered version as my copy is a bit old looking now!

*DIGITALLY REMASTERED AND REISSUED AFTER BEING UNAVAILABLE FOR YEARS!* My oh my...this doesn't really need any introduction at all now does it???? Well, what we have here is a brand new REMASTERED edition of one of the most influential electronic albums of all time, and surely STILL the most instantly recognisable and affecting album from Richard D James. Truly marvelous, put a smile on your face and give this album another whirl...

Every so often a really, really special album comes along that just blows you away on first listen, sends shivers down your spine and goose bumps where goose bumps should appear :pac: This is a real nod to dance of old and especially to that of detroit techno.

Some sound clips on Juno -

http://www.juno.co.uk/products/309513-02.htm

Below quote in reference to the vinyl release which is 10 tracks rather than 13 on the CD.

Arne Weinberg's AW-Recordings does the business here, compiling a heavyweight 10 track package featuring cuts from the cream of Nu-Detroit and dub techno producers. Louis Haiman steps to the plate with a swirling electro cut swathed in fathoms deep synth pads, CRC archon is a well studied slice of Detroit techno soul while Alex Leon takes it out there with a beatless darkside spectral composition. Stephen Brown of Transmat pedigree provides one of the album's highlights on 'light rain' with a bright and uplifting 313 jacker, before Convextion appears under his Time light Curve alias. From the opening synth wash it's immediately apparent that we're in the presence of a Gerard Hansen production with his synth driven style of emotional punishment, if you've caught any of his live shows in the last year or so you'll recognise it from the off. The quality doesn't drop from here though, the second disc packs in fresh cuts from the legendary Strand, Ovatow with an awesome dub chord stabs meets electro mutation while XDB chucks in a sweltering club killer. Obsolete Music Technology and Derek Carr fillin the final side with a couplet of sweetened Detroit techno soul, leaving you in exactly the place you want to be.
http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=95413

If you have interrupted sleep patterns because of the infrequency of Transmat releases, this this album may be your tonic. Released on Arne Weinberg's cryptically named AW Recordings, 'Viewpoints' takes the classic Detroit techno blueprint, and is fashioned by a selection the current producers respectfully 'exploiting' that sound. Contributions come from the the relatively unknown (check the B12 style techno of CRC's 'Archon'!) to the familiar (Transmat's Stephen Brown and Detroit veterens, Strand AKA Kech & Bonds). Recommended.
http://warpmart.com/item/Various%20Artists/Viewpoints%3A%20Chapter%201/3658

This first compilation on Arne Weinberg’s label is a wonderful introduction to overlooked artists crafting techno in the Detroit style. San Diego’s Louis Haiman kicks off the collection with a real mind-bender. Synth squelches and clattering beats pan so expertly they seem to move up and down through the listening space. I’m not surprised to see Haiman on a Transmat compilation from 1999, according to Discogs. CRC’s “Archon” builds slowly, but the batty synths at the end remind me of Fade to Black’s “The Calling.” Think 1990. Stephen Brown, another Transmat favorite, contributes “Light Rain,” with tasty analogue synth tones over a heavy kickdrum.

Next up is “Multipole Vector” by Time Light Curve, a new Convextion alias. Dry snares provide a grid which is gradually filled with warm bass synths, glitchy squawks, and ghostly voices. A bittersweet tune ties everything together. Myon’s “Odyssey Red” is cinematic, with seven minutes of sad, sweeping melody over old-school beats. “Soleil” by Detroit’s Strand makes exceptional use of piano over crisp percussion and complex bleeps.

Moving inevitably into dub techno territory, Ovatow’s “Visitation V4” pulls together odd sounds which never truly gel. I can’t decide if it’s missing pieces or just strangely mastered. East Island’s “The Master of Servir” is more successful, with unique tones dreamily circling lo-fi beats. “C.O.N.” by XDB is the best of the bunch, infusing a driving tempo with dub depths. Cascading reverb speeds about like lightning in some mad scientist’s lab. Back to more traditional Detroit techno, another favorite is Obsolete Music Technology’s “Evening Star.” From its opening chords, it pulls me into a warm, beautiful place. Every single tone is a pleasure to hear.

This compilation proves old production techniques can still result in beautiful tracks. None of these cuts would seem out of place on a compilation of early nineties techno. These artists remind me of a time when technology seemed exciting and empowering instead of just overwhelming.

My contribution if I may is Banco De Gaia - Last Train To Lhasa



http://www.discogs.com/release/8369

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVM9M6i9ZoU

This is one of my favourite albums in any musical genre and it has lost none of it's magic after more than a decade of listening to it. From the opening of the title track to the closing of the seemingly endless 887, the listener is taken on an image-filled journey across the wild landscape of beleaguered Tibet.

^ I still have to get this album. I love Banco De Gaia but somehow still only have the double CD '10 Years' and also the remix version... both excellent and cover most of the best moments but I do really want Last Train to Lhasa too. Planet Dog had some amazing releases in general, another being 'Sirius Sounds' by Children Of The Bong and of course the various Eat Static albums.

808 State - Quadrastate

10 Techclock (2:17)
11 In Yolk (6:56)
12 State Ritual Scam (6:00)
13 Let Yourself Go (D50 Mix) (4:50)

My word it's so good to hear this album again. Seems like a lifetime ago, but once upon a time 808 State had a top 10 hit with "Pacific State", a track that would spawn a million imitators and more or less define the whole Acid House scene that was slowly inventing itself back in 88/89. Anyway, "Pacific State" opens this classic album and instantly takes you back to those heady days just after the second Summer of Love. The band's rare debut single, "Let Yourself Go / Deepville is included here, together with some other previously-unreleased alternate versions and outtakes. Its the first time ever that the tracks have been released on CD and the entire project has been lovingly remastered, to the customary Rephlex high standards. An absolute classic.

A friend of mine reckons this is the best techno album ever:

Richie Hawtin - Decks, EFX & 909



http://www.last.fm/music/Various+Artists/Decks%252C%2BEFX%2B%2526%2B909

I'm no techno expert but its pretty dam good. Bit dated now perhaps, but still very enjoyable.

From Discogs:

This mix cd, when released, was definitely ahead of the game. The concept Richie Hawtin came up with was something no one even thought about doing.
As far as the music goes Richie goes through the whole techno spectrum. Starting off with loop based techno, then funky, tribal techno, some detroit(jeff mills), industrial(nitzer ebb) and ending with some dubby minimal techno(maurizio). All the while the mixing is exactly what techno is all about: using records to create your own music. Some highlights are the beginning of the cd which starts off with a basic loop based track (grain) which then gets layered with a driving funky treatment(g flame& mr. g) and finally layered in with good old sample based tribal funk(user). All throughout the cd you also get awesome efx like echoes, which increases the intensity during breakdowns. The standout mix to me personally is when Richie mixes all the versions of his own minus orange with Nitzer Ebb's "Let Your Body Learn". It goes perfectly with the Nitzer Ebb classic.
In conclusion if you're into Techno the way it should be mixed, this is a must have in your cd collection.

Andy is the first DJ I ever saw IIRC

Himself and johhny moy used to have some great gigs in the tivoli

Scubadevils

Andy was one the first I heard too, actually at The Orb in the Point in 1994, fantastic night.
