Techno Anyone?

There are excellent "techno" oriented albums that aren't in the least bit boring or repetitive, and the sound quality is excellent. Early Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Juno Reactor, Fluke.....these are all much better than the one techno album most audiophiles seem to always have Leftfield "leftism" although I have that one also.

Scon90, I have a very rare Section 25 CD "From The Hip" from early 80's which contains the fabulous song "Looking from a Hilltop" great stuff.

Ohlala you have great music taste also, I have some Oakenfold , Van Dyk, Sasha, Digweed etc however this is more in the trance/house music genre. The "global underground" series is good introduction to this scence.
Lords of Acid "lust" CD is great also.

Some specific must have techno albums...1)Chemical Brothers
"exit planet dust"...2)Juno Reactor "bible of dreams" and "beyond the infinite"...3)Crystal Method "vegas"...4)Fluke "risoto"...5)Alice DeeJay "who needs guitars"

Prodigy can be good, although not consistently good for an entire album. There is a whole class of dance/techno/pop
which can be fun including Amber, Eiffel 65, Corona, La Bouche, 2 Unlimited etc.

"Global Underground" series is good to have a few for extended house/trance sessions, but they do tend to become repetitive, I particularly like the Paul Oakenfold series
