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.
lush
I too luv jazz.rock.blues and have experimented w/ electronica...as such I tend to get into those with elements of jazz

Among them by far the best I've heard is the Cinematic Orchestra...stunning stuff. St.Germain's "Tourist" is also quite good. Two others I love are Caia (the Magic Dragon) and Kruder Dorfmeister (The K&D Sessions).

For alt rock, check out

Dada: Live Official Bootleg (though perhaps it ain't alternative per se)
Opeth: Damnation (heavy metal alt band goes unplugged)
Soda Stereo: Sueno Stereo (Latin alt!)
Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream (a classic)
Moke: Carnival
Incubus: Morning View
hello Philjolet,yep,ive been a press operator since 75,and still have all my fingers!!glad you found a nice shop to work at!fellow audiogoner Rooze is in the industry too,
Henry hk you would probably dig the Squarepusher album Music Is Rotted One Note. Imagine electric era Miles rockin' it with Aphex Twin. Crazy good stuff. You might also like some of DJ Cam's stuff. Everyone in the world should own the DJ Shadow album Endtroducing.
