my top 10 would be:

1. Cabaret Voltaire - Plasticity
2. Spacetime Continuum - Sea Biscuit
3. FSOL - Lifeforms
4. Arovane - Tides
5. DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
6. FSOL - ISDN
7. Gas - em:t0095
8. Irresistible Force - Flying High
9. Beefcake - Coincidentia Oppositorum
10. Aphex Twin - I Care Because You Do

damn there are just so many more as well but these are among my favorites

I agree with these. I would've added Arovane's "Tides" but couldn't decide if I wanted to or not. DJ Shadow's Endtroducing is probably one of the best albums in electronic music history, although most people may call it more of an instrumental hip hop album than actually electronic. The Beefcake album is superb, but my favorite from them is Drei (which i want an original copy, but haven't been able to find one for the past 3 yrs), and of course the Aphex Twin album, the first electronic album I ever purchased.

Those were the ones that i came up on. Of the ones on the list i have to say Gas (Mat Jarvis/Highskies) has to be my favorite now that i think of it. Can listen to it over and over and over again and always hear something different. If no one has heard it i would be happy to help remedy that.

hmmm, let's see here.

10. Oval - 94 Diskont
9. Monolake - Hong Kong
8. Future Sound of London - Lifeforms
7. Mu-Ziq - Tango-n-Vectif
6. Drexciya - Neptune's Lair
5. Pole - 1
4. B12 - Electro-Soma
3. Boards of Canada - Twoism
2. Underworld - Second Toughest in the Infants
1. Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92

nice to see you back around here Aquinas...I still need to buy some of your material sometime. Nice Choices, very respectful.

back from West of Virginie. here's my list.

1.- Arovane>Atol Scrap
2.- Autechre>Chiastic Slide
3.- Goem>Stud Stim
4.- Funkstorung>Appetite for Disctruction
5.- Boards of Canada>Music Has the Right to Children
6.- Funckarma>Parts
7.- Crunch>1
8.- Michael Fakesch>Marion
9.- µ-Ziq>Lunatic Harness
10.- Plod>Pillowtalk

simply the list of electronic-ish albums i like to listen to the most; this order is as good as any other permutation of this list...

mouse on mars - niun niggung
boards of canada - music has the right to children
aphex twin - selected ambient works 85-92
autechre - lp5
mu-ziq - lunatic harness
position normal - stop your nonsense
dj shadow - endtroducing
leila - like weather (not entirely electronic, but not entirely not electronic either...)
aphex twin - rdj
future sound of london - dead cities

if Aphex Twin made it on my list it would have been RDJ. it's just so hard to put together a list of what you are totally inspired by. some are left out of course, but if i were to change my list, the RDJ album would have been in there.

Ok this is the list of albums that was big to me in that decade. Some I don`t listen to anymore, and it`s not really a recommendation list. Hope it makes sense after all.
