Top Ten Electronic/alternative Albums


Based not only on musical tastes but in the quality they were recorded in. I listen to some jazz and blues, and alot of classic rock but I feel this genre of music, both Alternative and Electronic music is often overlooked.

The idea of the thread was to get some ideas on good alt-rock and Electronic music. I don't think every audiophile listens to jazz, blues and classical.

It's very interesting seeing the early responses.

Jane's Addiction "Nothing Shocking"
Fatboy Slim, "Better Living Through Chemistry"

Are two in my top ten. I really haven't given it much thought myself I just kind of blurted out this post in hoping I could find some new music. I'll be checking out Crystal Method now for sure.

I also very much like the following

Massive Attack "Mezzanine"
Massive Attack "100th Window"
Nirvana "Unplugged"
Hole "Live through This"
Sublime "Sublime"
Radiohead "Bends"
RadioHead "Ok computer"

The majority of the stuff listed was well recorded. Simaudio even uses a track from the "Live Through This" album as reference material.
These will all be fun if you`re into electronic sounds.

Hallucinogen--"Twisted"
Shpongle--"Tales of the inexpressible"
William Orbit--"Strange cargo 3"
KoxBox--"Dragon Tales"
Yellow--"pocket universe"
X-dream--"Radio"
Frederic Galliano Electronic Sextet--"Live Infinis"
Project 23
Prometheus--"ROBOT.O.CHAN"
Natural Selection--"compiled by Protoculture"

By its nature a lot of electronic music is recorded with compression.None the less,a lot of enjoyment can be had in this wide genre`.
Please note that some of the above can be hard to locate.Let me know if you need help.
Mine are:

Hallucinogen - Twisted (like Vinush)
Air - Moon Safari
Air - 10,000 Hz
Air - Premiers Symptomes
Kruder & Dorfmeister - Sessions
Waldeck - Night Garden Reflowered
Yello - You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 (like ohlala)
Global Underground - John Digweed Sydney
Orbital - Snivelization

Kind of an eclectic mix but they are all great IMO. I never get tired listening to any of these. I also agree with several of Jax2's picks.
Some great titles here, all the ones I would mention have already been listed except:
The Flaming Lips, "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots"
