Three (3) Albums?! You’re killing me! DJ Shadow - Endtroducing Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole Underworld - Beaucoup Fish Lol I hate making these lists! I think I covered some timeless ground for my tastes.

Back with another one of those block rockin' beats!

bwaaaaang WEEEEEU WEEU WEEU WEEEEEEEEE

Beaucoup fish cracks me up since they sampled a Cajun dude talking about his life jacket from Wal-Mart and preferred fishing spots. I guess that dialect must sound extra peculiar if you've never heard it before.

was that shadow album from that documentary Dark Days? or separate, LOVE that film.

I’ve never actually seen Dark Days but it looks like it features music from Endtroducing and elsewhere.

Jumbo

Exit Planet Dust …. And we got a deal

Excellent Top 3, my friend!

Thanks, [bud!](https://independentmusic.reviews/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/mr-oizo-flat-beat-1664974684-512749953-1664974684-196686425.jpg)

Pretty much the same for me, except I swapped Daft Punk - Discovery for Underworld

Believe me, It pained me to leave out Daft Punk. Like I have been saying, curse making lists! *shakes fist*

1. Aphex Twin - Syro 2. Flying Lotus - Until The Quiet Comes 3. Drexciya - Journey Of The Deep Sea Dweller I - IV

Love seeing the Syro representation 🎉🍻

Love to see the Drexciya

Is this guy me?

Burial - Untrue Royksopp - Junior Massive Attack - Mezzanine Really difficult to narrow it down to just three, but those ones probably define my taste more than anything.

Fucking based. Royksopp mentioned I love it

Burial - Untrue Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works **3 way tie:** 2 8 1 4 - Birth of a new day BT - ESCM Sasha - Involver

Burial is absolutely timeless

ESCM is in my top 3 as well. Flaming June always brings me back. It was an amazing time to be discovering music.

Flaming June is a beast. Had the privilege of seeing him at Homelands in 2000. Always went to techno clubs/events so never really crossed paths but loved a bit of BT.

Birth of a new day is just so good...

I dunno if these sorts of lists are meant to include DJ mixes but for me Airdrawndagger > Invol2ver > Involver - but all are ace. and BT ESCM I am way down with that, has at least 3 of my top electronic songs (Remember, Flaming June, Content)

Broken Soul Jamboree by Tipper Heads by Ott Ineffable Mysteries From Shpongleland by Shpongle

This guy kets

🤣🤣🤣

Believe it or not, dead sober 😂 but in the past youda been right

Saw him live in 13 & 14 and it was the 2 best shows I've ever seen.

This is dope thanks man

Justice - Cross The Avalanches - Since I Left You Mat Zo - Damage Control

Gjones - The Ineffable Truth Nero - Welcome Reality Mersiv - Pretty Dark Loud

*YOU GOT ME SO WILD* No but seriously I remember them using that track as the music to promote Beats headphones and it was so effective. That track aged like fine wine.

Its so good.

G Jones is for sure one of the best producers right now

Based on how im feeling currently: Arca - Mutant The Campfire Headphase - Boards of Canada Four Tet - There is Love in You

Aw, anyone who loves "There Is Love In You" is a good person

* Jon Hopkins - Immunity * Tycho - Awake * Bonobo - Black Sands More recently - keep coming back to Tinlicker's latest album for some reason. It's not a perfect album and there are one or two songs I skip, but most of it is solid. For Jon Hopkins fans, the second drop of In Your Eyes oof. Strawberry is a gorgeous song, as well

Very very nice taste here! Black Sands is just a legendary album, easily top 10 best electronic album of all time

The first time I heard Open Eye Signal I got actual chills

The new Hopkins album is great too. Had advance listening in London where they were capturing visuals and it was wonderful

Love these selections.

woah i’ve actually heard all of these! i’d expect you to like epoch more than awake because you like immunity tbh

I do love Epoch, but went with Awake as I have some personal memories attached to it :)

oh i get that, i listened to all of tychos albums at once so i have memories with the whole experience and certain drops and moments

That first time hearing Awake (the song) was THE call to arms. I will never forget that moment. 

Actually took my mother to see the live band perform. She had never been to an electronic show before but walked away amazed

My favorite list, thus far. We have eerily similar taste lol Only difference is that I would maybe switch out Tycho for Caribou’s Our Love or Jamie xx’s In Colour. Tycho is on my list of favorite live sets, though! Black Sands is an absolute gem and an underrated masterpiece IMO. I’m glad Green ended up getting a good amount of acclaim and recognition for Migration, it’s well deserved

In Colour is 100% added to this list if I could expand to 4 albums. Adore so many songs on it. I loved Our Love as well

Daft Punk - Discovery Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children Kraftwerk - Trans-Europe Express

So happy to see Kraftwerk here, big upss

We step out and take a walk through the city we are SHOWROOM DUMMIES

The Ineffable Truth - G Jones Settle - Disclosure Hi This Is Flume - Flume

We share the same favorite album! That look in your eye is one of the most beautiful songs ever

phenomenal taste

Chemical brothers- Surrender The Prodigy - music for the jilted generation And the collection Forbidden Paradise 3 by Tiesto

Surrender is such a special and amazing album.

Jilted Generation has to be in there. Brilliant inner too! Need a tee of that!

Love the jilted generation, second best prodigy album imo, right after Experience 

Music has the Right to Children - Boards of Canada Radioactive Man - Radioactive Man Shit Robot - From the Cradle to the Rave Leftfield - Leftism I know you said 3, but I don't live by your rules (sorry)

Love all these albums great taste

Burial - Untrue Bonobo - Black Sands Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's harvest (tough choice, i love all of them)

Breakbeat Era - Ultra-Obscene Orbital - Middle of Nowhere Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X Runner-ups The Prodigy - The Fat of the Land Infected Mushroom - Converting Vegetarians - The Other Side

1. KOAN Sound - Led by Ancient Light 2. Culprate - Deliverance 3. Bonobo - Black Sands **Honourable mentions:** Etherwood - In stillness The Avalanches - Since I left you Daft Punk - Discovery Calibre - Even If Jon Hopkins - Singularity Alon Mor - Long awaited journey ODESZA - In return Hudson Lee - Headspace’s Nigel Good - Space Cadet Boards of Canada - Music has the right to children

Ancient light is incredible. Haven’t listened to it all the way through as much as I have Polychrome but I need to.

It’s an experience for sure! Voices of Dissent and Ascension are my favourites from the album personally, but they’re all fantastic.

Begin by letting go

* Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase * The Field - From Here We Go Sublime * Jon Hopkins - Singularity

Igorrr - Hallelujah also drukqs Squarepusher - Go Plastic

IGORRR is such a rad artist to mention here, my favourite album by him as well

Squarepusher is one of the greatest pioneers ever

for sure. I haven’t heard the new one yet and haven’t been super into the last few, but everything up to the mid 2000s it total love for me :) I really like a lot of Andy’s stuff, too.

Like everyone says - choosing just three albums is impossible. From the top of my head, though: Massive Attack - Protection John Beltran - Ten Days of Blue Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman Looooots of runners up

Massive Attack mentioned

Not seeing James Holden mentioned anywhere yet? Imo his album "the inheritors" is pushing the genre into new places. Especially "the caterpillar's intervention". Renata being the absolute favorite though... - James Holden - The Inheritors - Floating Points - Crush - Blondes - Blondes

The Crystal Method - Vegas Leftfield - Leftism Adam F - Colours That'll do for today. Tomorrow may be different.

Adam F is siiick, love that era of jungle/dnb

Oh, but there’s so many!! 😊 Underworld - Second Toughest in the Infants Massive Attack - Mezzanine Shpongle - Tales of the Inexpressible

SHPOOONNNNGLEEEEE

1. Bicep - Isles 2. RJD2 - Deadringer 3. Portishead - Dummy

[Lauren Bousfield - Salesforce](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_AABdNt40Y) [Fartbarf - Dirty Power](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EORf0IvEXKo) [Mike & Rich - Expert Knob Twiddlers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODppEhZGw1Y) afx ;p

A wild expert knob twiddlers in it's natural habitat? what a based take

just checked out "Bike" nice jam dude.

Here are mine with a little elevator pitch for each. 808 State - Don Solaris. This album has a sound like no other, blending dance, world, and rock music (as well as what seems like billions of other genres) into a cohesive package. The atmosphere on every track between the wild bookends is so warm and inviting. Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92. I think the fact this album is one of the most cited ones in the thread says enough. Pilotredsun - Achivement. At first, it may look like a shitpost by a surrealistic animator, but it is actually an excellently made collection of little tunes. Each track, while simple in structure, brings its own kind of goofy atmosphere to the table while remaining equally as emotionally impactful.

Gidge - New Light Nicolas Jaar - Space is only noise Eric Prydz - Opus

Opus, yessssss

I can only do 5 - Susumu Hirasawa - Technique of Relief - The Avalanches - Since I Left You - DJ Shadow - ...endtroducing - Autechre - Exai - Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene I feel like these 5 are the most definite personal favourites, like even a bit above the other 10/10 albums I have

Forward Escape - Tipper Taking Up Your Precious Time - Pretty Lights Petrichore - Drrtywulvs Runner ups: Holotrope - Bluetech Heads - Ott Brood VII - Jade Cicada

Pretty lights - color map of the sun Koan Sound - Polychrome Burial - untrue

Top 3 all time are impossible for me. Top 5 that opened the door and got me hooked for life were Chemical bros - Exit Planet Dust Prodigy - Jilted Generation Orbital - In Sides Underworld's - 2nd toughest in the infants Hybrid - Wide Angle Underworld is my favorite electronic act of all time since I've consistently enjoyed their music the most throughout the decades.

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works DeadMau5 - For a lack of a better name Vril - Anima Mundi

Bloody love Vril, so underrated.

I personally believe *Strobe* is one of the greatest club tracks ever created.

Good taste fam!! ✊🏽✊🏽 I’m a bit more partial to >Album Title Goes Here<, but the Ghosts N’ Stuff/Strobe combo goes hard af 🔥

Wow I don't see Vril mentioned often. His newest album, Animist, is really great too.

The Flashbulb - Red Extensions of Me 808 State - ex:el Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92

I really need to get into 808 state

ex:el was the first album I ever bought.

hell yeah, The Flashbulb is so good

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Forest Swords - Compassion Darkside - Psychic

Love Forest Swords, the track *Raw Language* is unbelievable

Yeah he is fantastic, one of the best UK electronic artists right now and so unique/interesting.

Untrue. There is love in you. Everything at once. - John Beltran.

Voices from the lake - Voices from the lake Music has the right to children - Boards of Canada Selected ambient works 85-92 - Aphex Twin Honorable mention: 10.000hz legend - Air

For electronic specifically? Probably: Lone - Galaxy Garden Culprate - Deliverance Tycho - Dive

Daft Punk - Discovery Tiesto - Parade Of The Athletes Com Truise - Galactic Melt

Worlds - Porter Robinson In Return - Odesza Hi This Is Flume (Mixtape) - Flume

Hell yeah Odesza mentioned!

Electronic only I assume? These might be my top 3, it could change in 5 minutes though, and they're in no particular order. Kraftwerk - Computer World Drexciya - Neptune's Lair The Other People Place - Lifestyles Of The Laptop Cafe Close calls: St. Germain - Tourist Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman Luomo - Vocalcity

Neptune's Lair takes you to a trip into the cosmos. What a great album.

TOPP would also be in my top 3. Devastating record from start to finish.

Didn't know Drexciya. Currently digging Neptune's Lair, that's dope. Thanks for the discovery.

current top 3 Monoton – Blau  Conrad Schnitzler - Con-Struct Clock DVA - Buried Dreams [](https://www.discogs.com/artist/21351-Clock-DVA/image/SW1hZ2U6ODU0NTk0OQ==)

Big loada - squarepusher Cross - justice L.A.- flying lotus

From the favorite albums I keep on my phone still Boards of Canada - Geogaddi Noisia - Split the Atom Clark - Body Riddle

No mostly Dig your own hole which was a big hype when it released but I was into Rave and trance then and only got into them by the soundtrack from The Beach. So Surrender is a better album for me. Will find and listen now.

It's a constantly rotating current of recognition, not better-than-ism! Particle - launchpad Glassjaw - worship and tribute Thursday - full collapse

For this year my favourite is Donato Dozzy - Magda. Jon Hopkins - Immunity Couldn't put a 3rd as it changes so often.

Orb - Live 93 Chemical Brothers - Dig your own hole Deadmau5 - Random Album Title

Impossible to chose a definitive set, but nowadays it would be : Stephane Picq - Dune Spice Opera 2024 remaster Front Line Assembly - Civilization Autechre - Amber (or maybe Exai, can't really chose between them)

Bluetech - Elementary Particles Bluetech - Phoenix Rising Hedflux - Kin Runner Up - Koan - Silence is Speaking I need more music like these, please suggest some albums. Requirements - No ambient. No Speaking.

Changes a lot but probably right now 1. In colour - Jamie xx 2. Crystal Castles (I) - Crystal Castles 3. Playing robots into heaven - James Blake

Difficult but: Juno Reactor - Beyond the Infinite: Though everything by them is perfect. Prodigy - Fat of the Land: Also love them generally Photek- Form and Function: Same as above Sort of based this also tied to favorite live performances of said albums, which they were incredible. Honorable mentions: Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy, Moby - Everything is Wrong, Crystal Method- Vegas, Future Sound of London - LifeForms. All seen live: ridiculous!

boards of canada - geogaddi magic arrows - sweet heavenly angel of death my bloody valentine - loveless

3 is almost impossible, but here goes: Deadmau5 - Random Album Title Rival Consoles - Howl Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 But that's just today, off the top of my head. Lots of fantastic albums in the comments

Since I listen to tons of ambient music, I decided to divide the albums between ambient and non-ambient releases. Top 3 ambient releases: * Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol. II * Stars of the Lid - and Their Refinement of the Decline * Biosphere - Shenzhou Top 3 non-ambient releases: * Andy Stott - Faith in Strangers * Rhythm & Sound - With the Artists * Venetian Snares - Meathole The list can go on but you want me to pick just three..

Jon Hopkins - Singularity      BoC - Geogaddi      Tipper - Forward Escape

In no particular order:   * Mr Oizo - Lamb’s Anger   * Metronomy - Nights Out   * Daft Punk - Discovery

The Avalanches - Since I Left You Jamie xx - In Colour Burial - Untrue

In no particular order - Aleph - Gesaffelstein Swim - Caribou Timeless - Goldie Ask me again in a day and it will likely be different but for albums that I had on repeat and made me feel a certain way (blown away by how different they sounded when they first came out) these are some of the best I can think of.

1. Acidwolf – Legacy : 1995-2005 2. Aes Dana - Pollen 3. Plug - Back On Time (\*Drum n Bass for Papa is Amazing too) Honorable mentions are too spectacular not to mention. The Black Dog - Radio Scarecrow μ-Ziq - In Pine Effect Autechre - Amber Extrawelt - In Aufruhr Polygon Window - Surfing On Sine Waves

Right now barely thinking recent top 6 cuz 3 is too hard: Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works Volume II Boards of Canada: Music Has The Right To Children Tangerine Dream: Stratosfear The Orb: Orbus Terrarum Tycho: Dive Bonobo: The North Borders

worlds - porter robinson in colour - jamie xx aleph - gesaffelstein brightest lights - lane 8 quest for fire - skrillex genesis - whyte fang justice - justice sry i cannot pick 3 lol

Four Tet - new energy N Minsi - in the space between John Hopkins - singularity

1. Boards of Canada - Music Has a Right to Children 2. Aphex Twin - Syro 3. Four Tet - New Energy At least these are the albums I listen to the most.

Thanks for that Moderat recommendation. I've been listening to it non-stop since you posted. It is truly remarkable and ticks all my boxes!

I doubt I’ll be able to narrow it down to three, but I’ll try; Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase Tycho - Epoch Com Truise - Iteration Dj Shadow - Preemptive Strike Honorary Mentions; Aphex Twin - SAW V.2 Daniel Avery - Ultra Truth Mall Grab - What I Breathe Ivy Lab - Infinite Falling Ground G Jones - The Ineffable Truth Bicep - Self Titled

Good to see Ivy Lab. I rarely spot them mentioned here, but they're one of my favourite electronic groups of recent years.

love all of these

Excellent taste!

I like seeing Mall Grab on this list

1. Hybrid - Wider Angle 2. Nubreed - The Original 3. The Prodigy - Experience

The Original was full of heat. That breaks era coming out of Melbourne was something else.

RIP Phil K

This one still hurts.

Experience gang rise! I love me some early 90’s breakbeat.

I'll always say it, Liam is an absolute legend. He was pumping those tracks out in his bedroom in his parents house. It wasn't until Jilted that he got into a proper studio.

I'll have to check some of these out

Wider Angle, my man. Also, never expected to see Nubreed here! Respect

Wide Angle is quite underrated

Focusing on more recent albums - CFCF - Memoryland Opn - Magic A. G. Cook - Britpop

Opn has amazing stuff, nice taste
