Lost Horizons by Lemon Jelly

Updated Jul 29, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

One of the all-time best electronica/downtempo albums. Lemon Jelly combines wit, great hooks, cool ambient elements, and great beats. Lost Horizons tends to be a very happy, positive album and you get a sense that Lemon Jelly loves to celebrate life. Ramblin' Man is a perennially inspiring song to me.

Great for long trail rides or runs, as well as those times you really just want to focus on listening to music.

In Visible Silence: Music: The Art of Noise

Updated Jul 23, 2006

Description

released in 1986, this album was so far ahead of its time. While not electronica in the current sense of the genre, The Art of Noise is well worth many, many listens. These guys broke open the border between electronic, industrial, and ambient.

Opus One is a beautiful, Reichiean round and Paranormia is just genius.

The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld by The Orb

Updated Jul 23, 2006

Description

A classic! Released in 1991, The Orb truly pioneered the whole ambient electronica/dub/souundscape scene, picking up where Art of Noise left of years before.

Little Fluffy Clouds is simply a masterpiece, imo. Plus I love all the references to Flash Gordon and Battlestar Galactica.

As the album title promises, listening to this will take you beyond the Ultraworld

The Magical Sounds of Banco de Gaia by Banco de Gaia

Updated Jul 23, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

Despite the lame cover art and cheesey album title, this is an absolutely fantastic example of electronica as a complex, culture-blending, and highly lyrical (in the sense of telling an overall story w/the music, not w/lyrics per se). An arresting mix of ambient overlays and pounding beats. Excellent for a high-adrenaline or endorphin-inducing work-out trail-running or mtn biking, as well as when having to bang out an inspired power point.

This album has remained on my top 10 favorites list for years and I never get tired of it.

Last Train to Lhasa by Banco De Gaia

Updated Jul 16, 2006

Description

A simply amazing electronic trip thru China, Tibet, and Toby Marks' (aka Banco) head. Sometimes dreamy atmospherics, sometimes pounding beats, never dull. Great for running, biking, grinding out a ppt, or just for taking a trip

Electronica to live by
Updated Apr 16, 2008
My favorite electronica albums- these works have endured and get better the more I hear them. Some are older, some newer, some more techno, others more ambient, but all will take you to a new world
