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
Portishead - Portishead is moody and hypnotic
Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is a trip
Massive Attack - Mezzanine kicks ass

all are excellent

Laurie Anderson is great but I do not know if this thread applies to her, she is before alternative, before there was a catagory for her :)

I will have to look into Chrystal Method...

Damn I'm cool!
I have tons of a sophisticated electronics albums but if you can get "Fish for Fish" self-titled album you will be in heaven.
The rest of electronic geniouses such as Brian Eno, Michael
Brook, Harold Budd, Moebuis, Rohedelius with no exception to Dave Sylvian's electronic work they all stay just next to the one I've mentioned above.
What about these:

-Aphex Twin (Selected Ambient Works...)
-Timo Maas (Loud)
-Herbert Remixes
-Red Snapper
-Swayzak
-Air
-John Graham
-etc.
