CHECK THE VIRTUAL JUKEBOX FOR TRACKS OFF EACH ALBUM
NO 1 The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld ,
WHAT AN ALBUM , The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Underworld may officially be called techno, but it's hardly dance music. This is techno as filtered through a 70's haze of Pink Floyd and Tangerine Dream. Your pilot, Dr Alex Paterson, takes control of the spacecraft and guides you to other worlds with a swirling sound collage of beats, samples, music and voices. Your tour of the Underworld and beyond takes place over 10 long tracks on 2 CD's. This is very trippy stuff, like the bands named above with a modern-production cinematic quality.
NO 2 Aphex Twins, Selected Ambient Works 85-92
BLISSFULL NOISE TERRORISM,
This must be one of Aphex Twin's best albums. It really is a work of art, and perfectly captures the mood of ambient music of the late 80s and early 90s. Classics such as Pulsewidth and Actium carry you off into other dimensions. If music could be expressed in images, then I think fractals would be the best visual expression of this.
A must have
NO 3 Spookys, Gargantuan
THE NAME SAYS IT ALL,
Along with Leftfield's Leftism, Spooky's Gargantuan helped define the progressive house that we all know and love today. There are some bonafide classics on this album. The epic "Little Bullet Part One" sounds absolutely majestic over a decade later, and so do, to a lesser extent, "Little Bullet Part Two" and "Schmoo" (including the more somber dub version). These tracks are timeless classics that have aged marvelously.
NO 4 The Black Dog ,Bytes,
GRRRR,
This album is amazing, emotional, cryptic, esoteric, polyrhythmic, jazzy, beautiful, and unique , it's on Warp, so you know it's gotta be good. Black dog make amazing listening techno, bytes and spanners are their greatest works
