Top Ten Electronic/alternative Albums

Speaking of old stuff from the 70's..
klaus schulze released an album called "moondawn" in like 1973.. it is pretty analogue sounding but trance music none the less. similar but not exactly like some of the material released currently or in the 90s.. according to one web site, moondawn is the most accessible album for the american audience being that it was widely released states side in the 70s..

in other kraut bands.. the album zeit by tangerine dream is quite a classic.. some realllly wicked manipulations done to audio on that one.. again it is like early 70s..

but these albums are more on the avantgard tip instead of the alternative tip.. not that there is much of a distinction between the two but to me it is noticable...

I'm familiar with about 90% of the artists listen on this thread.

To my mind there is one artist that is head and shoulders above the rest both musically and sonically. O.K maybe just a head if I'm being concervative.

I originally made a fetailed write up. Lots of information. Anyways. Phones crash. I’ll just list the names. All of these artist can be found on YouTube or Soundclud before purchase. 

As Tower Records once had their section 
Desert Island Discs. 

Additionally,  I would use Discogs, and Ebay for comparative pricing. 40 on eBay. 5 on discogs, or vice versa. Shop smart. 
lots of these Artist on Bandcamp. You can purchase FLAC or WAV. Though the highs always sound muted. Not recommended. 

Discogs also provides a great synopsis of all artis and various projects.
