I will second Aoltes's nomination for Royksopp's Melody A.M. I'm not quite as impressed with their new album "The Understanding," I'm also displeased with the engineering. Most of the tracks are very bright and I have to turn the treble down all the way to make them listenable. But if you like laid back electronic style music, Melody A.M. is without a doubt an electronic masterpiece.
Very good thread! Nice mention on the Kula Shaker Timrhu!
Here are a few TIMELESS albums! From start to finish, they are fantastic...
