I wouldn't say Im obliged...BoC is just one of the only music that truly represents my taste of music.

Poor you, BoC is just one of my favourites, and i have many.

Not everyone is as perfect as you

It's the Cupz and Exiteuxa show! You don't like it Yellow? No, seriously it's getting a bit out of hand. You guys should keep it to pm.

Hey " YELLOW " it's Cupz who likes this, i'm just playing along. If you don't like it go chicken somewhere else.

Most of his stuff is cartoony but his Phat Lab Nightmare and At Atmos Albums are darker and well worth checking out. Also his Throbbing Pouch album isnt exactly dark but its different from his later stuff so you may like it.

...i'm just playing along.

I was doing the same thing

Minor modifacations to my list...

1 - Brian Eno - Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks

The most haunting atmospheres ever recorded; Eno somehow captured the austere, terrifying beauty and expansiveness of the moon and even space itself with this record. Don't stop at 'An Ending (Ascent)'; listen to the whole thing all the way through. Simultaneous star-gazing strongly recommended... The most perfect album I've ever heard.

2 - Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase

Many people here may disagree, but to me this is the Boards' most accomplished record to date. It has a much more tangible beauty than 'Geogaddi' (which I may someday like more than this record, but not yet) and it never gets boring with repeated listens to me.

3 - Aphex Twin - Druqks

Drukqs can either be your best friend or your worst enemy; there's really no inbetween. It took me forever to finally appreciate, let alone enjoy, this incredibly expansive album. Once you 'get' it, Drukqs is some of the most fun you can have listening to music.

4 - Brian Eno - Ambient 4: On Land

Forget whatever preconceived notions you may have about ambient music being 'boring' because this soundscape is so visceral, it is practically a living environment... When I listen to this I feel as though I'm standing in an open plain at dusk; everything is a ruddy brown, and the humming air is rife with the haunting bellows of a wounded beast and the scent of freshly purged blood. Nobody has done it better than Eno even yet, and I very much doubt anybody ever will.

5 - Polygon Window - Surfing On Sine Waves

On their own the tracks contained herein are not on par with Richard D. James best work, but represented as a whole they create an inimitable atmosphere. I first listened to this album during a very profound period in my life... 'Surfing On Sine Waves' is inextricably tied to that time for better or for worse.

6 - Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children

The first BoC release I ever heard (back in 2002) all the way through... I just remember being absolutely blown away by 'Telephasic Workshop' and listening to it on repeat all day. This album will always be exemplary of BoC's sound and I will always treasure my copy.

7 - Autechre - LP5

I only recently got this and I can already hear how this could be Autechre's best work... What can I say about it that hasn't already been said; it's the perfect fusion of early ambient/melodic Autechre and insane Autechre. 'Acroyear' may just be my favorite Autechre track ever.

8 - Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92

I can only imagine how revolutionary it must've been to hear this album for the first time back in 1992. Unlike most albums of this genre, practically every track is a classic... Can Richard ever top this?

9 - Squarepusher - Feed Me Wierd Things

I've heard most of Tom's released work and this tops it all! 'Feed Me Wierd Things' has such a raw sound... Lo fi production compared to his later output on Warp. The percussion is absolutely bonkers, and the bass guitar is rocking out! Tom was onto something from the start that's for sure... 'Theme From Ernest Borgnine' is one of the best tracks I've ever heard by anyone! Only 'Hard Normal Daddy' can come close to this album in the Squarepusher catalogue for me.

10 - Brothomstates - Claro

I hate to start off by saying how underrated this album is, but that's exactly what it is; an underrated masterpiece that fell through the fissures excised by genre superstars like Aphex and Autechre. This album blends together everything I love about electronic music perfectly... You must pick 'Claro' up if you haven't already.
