Top Ten Electronic/alternative Albums

Fischerspooner,

agreed on aphex twin's selected ambient II (most his stuff is good to great, with a few exceptions)

clouddead- ten
boards of canada- music has a right to the children
can- tago mago (although my friend said this was top ten music went it was released in germany- so it is not exactly alternative)

nurse with wound- spiral insana
hood- cold house- interesting version of early 90s british drone rock, electronics and hiphop

my bloody valentine- glider ep
olivia tremor control- black forest
autechre- chiastic slide
miles davis- panthalassa (while their are many good lps from miles' fusion period, this is an excellent remix by jack of all trades producer bill laswell using the best tracks of miles' fusion period)

Harold Budd- some of these should be included:

1984 The Pearl
1986 Lovely Thunder
1988 The White Arcades
1991 By the Dawn's Early Light
1993 Music for 3 Pianos
1994 She Is a Phantom [live]
1996 Luxa
1998 Walk into My Voice: American Beat Poetry
2000 The Room
2003 La Bella Vista
2005 Avalon Sutra/As Long As I Can Hold My Breath

Anything by Boards of Canada (Warp Label)
Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works 1 and 2
Global Communication 76:14 incredible!
Tetsu Inoue Fax Label material...smooth and chill
Ulrich Schnauss....fantastic
Bill Laswell just about anything as well
Early Autechre material Amber would be a great selection

oh there is so much the list can go on and on......:)

two new discoveres for me which are the among the best I have heard...new to me that is

Bugge Wesseltoft: Moving
Steve Kuhn: Trance

both are heavily influenced by jazz but are very chill and atmospheric...recording quality is quite good as well....Steve Kunn's album is visionary in that the orginal pressing was in 1976...waaay ahead of its time
