[@TKbeatwerk]

[@jcd-k2s]

​@@TKbeatwerk nahh it's ok

[@TheStanley1000]

Average at best

[@ctop]

I had no idea how much I needed this video

[@xbenci]

and this video only covers music past 2000. the '90s are peak electronic

[@bipolaryx]

Oil of every pearl's un-insides is my fav electronic album of the past decade. Just so ahead of it's time, so influencial in pop music and culture.

[@bipolaryx]

[@BluMndy]

In life, there’s roadblocks

[@Juanespalx]

I think Porter Robinson deserves an honorable mention either for nurture or for worlds in an eventual part 2. Even if the production is not on par with the likes shown here, I feel his influence in the scene plus his side projects really earn him the place. Great video!

[@redasansh7473]

Nurture is beautiful

[@water3669]

Porter Robinson the G.O.A.T

[@chosone2]

The production on Worlds is fantastic. The synths are glistening and pristine, with flourishes of game-like sounds, synth drum fills and use of vocaloid that give the album such a unique identity among it's contemporaries. Meanwhile, Nurture is kept fairly minimal in production, letting the lyrics and the melodies speak for themselves and conjuring a serene atmosphere. In these senses, I think the production is just as good as anything listed in the video

[@thrownstair]

Nurture is the most deserving, I think. Sadly, Virtual Self EP is not an album so it wouldn’t count.

[@Juanespalx]

@@thrownstair Def agree. Nurture is my all time favorite album. I've listened to it an unhealthy amount of times alongside its live counterpart.

[@grainofsalt3331]

“I wish I loved myself as much as I loved Since I Left You” is my favorite Middle 8 line ever

[@proposalsmusic]

Solid list! Some personal favorites I would add: 1) M83 - Hurry Up, Were Dreaming 2) Disclosure - Settle 3) Rufus Du Sol - Bloom

[@chronic.dementia]

Love Bloom! Although I feel the tracks get kinda random in between. Solace & Surrender are great & much more consistent with their style. However, Innerbloom is THE ONE that stole my heart ❤

[@DuBstepAnDa98]

I feel like Hurry Up, We're Dreaming should have definitely been part of this list imo. At least an honorable mention.

[@Apolloo171]

Rufus du sol is so slept on!

[@mtrx1708]

I'd personally add Daniel Avery's "Ultra Truth" to this list!

[@theviniso]

Hell yes, love me some Disclosure.

[@Chiknoom]

In Colour will always be legendary and hold a special place in my heart. Jamie xx needs to release a sophomore album already.

[@Middle8]

Dude’s been teasing us with singles and remixes.

[@GodEmperor_]

Jamie confirmed his next LP comes out this year

[@lutboy2909]

in color it's just a great album all rounded and really colorful, sleep sound was stuck in my top most played songs for a entirely month, it's just great, specially that sub bass line all the song

[@sk8shred]

Burial truly is one of the most important electronic artists as of today. Truly my no. 1 all time electronic artist.

[@georgeaddison4947]

Only Discovered him fairly recently and I’m entranced

[@CamelliaFlingert]

checked his discography, sounds bad tbf i know a lot of artists who makes such type of music but it sounds 10x times better (no negative towards Burial)

[@georgewhite1972]

Boards of Canada - Geogaddi is a masterpiece album. It's beautiful and terrifying at the same time! ❤

[@computrhead]

Love that album. I got into making electronic music partly because of the song Alpha and Omega.

Geogaddi is such a great album. It's one of my favorite albums.

[@GodEmperor_]

[@NickRaven]

@@GodEmperor_ Which makes it perfect for Salad Fingers!

[@simondostal7219]

my favorite album of all time. just insanely good

[@richardfry6992]

There’s so many more great artist, I feel like Four Tet, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Portishead, Massive Attack, Fatboy Slim all deserve honourable mentions for pushing the genre and making it accessible to wide audiences

[@TheRealBlueSwan]

Yes, along with Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Pet Shop Boys, OMD, Human League, Soft Cell, 808 State, and many many many more.

[@crikeythesplund]

Underworld as well

[@divisionunion1658]

I would add Sebastian-Total

[@discinfiltrator]

Yeah, but except Four Tet all of them would also fall into the P.O.P. category.

[@xbenci]

as THE big beat fan, I gotta say Fatboy Slim is nowhere near The Chem Bros of Prodigy. someone like Lo Fidelity Allstars is closer to that level imo

[@davidcremin3837]

Arca absolutely deserves more credit. She has helped define the sound of electronic music over the last 15 years along with Nicolas Jaar, SOPHIE, OPN and FlyLo

[@ActualKaktus]

OPN 👌

[@miheerporadiya]

Underrated comment

[@skateass_]

There is one album i believe everyone should hear. "Moon Safari" by Air. the best songs on the album are "La Femme d'Argent" "Talisman" and "Kelly Watch The Stars". had this list been longer than top 10, this album would definitely be a perfect fit

[@gabrielauburn3398]

Absolutely! It was released in the late 90s tho

[@user_unsub2553]

Omggg I will always praise Air, ty for mentioning some of their iconic work

[@timatotoro3058]

Apparently EDM didn’t exist prior to 2000. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@theGreatGreyWolf96]

What an album, it has so many direct influences

[@TatePictures]

Here are some of my Favorites: Kelly Lee Owens - Inner Song (Tech House, Art Pop) Soulwax - Nite Versions (Electroclash, Electro House, Dance-Punk, New Rave) Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport (Electronic, Neo-Psychedelia) Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles (Synthpop, Bitpop) The Chemical Brothers - Surrender (Big Beat, Neo-Psychedelia) The Knife - Silent Shout (Electropop, Synthpop) Late of the Pier - Fantasy Black Channel (Dance-Punk, New Rave)

[@Middle8]

Very solid list. Kelly Lee Owens is a gem.

[@TatePictures]

@@Middle8 yeah definitely her track Jeanette is what got me into electronic music (without vocals) got the Album on Vinyl today :)

[@laurencegreen1705]

Also fuck buttons abrasive yet brilliant first album, street horrsing... Not for everyone, but rewards an open minded listener

[@MintYukari]

Some albums that should be listened at least once : The Field - From Here We Go Sublime (amazingly done microsampled house) Autechre - Confield (way more unhinged than Aphex Twin, their discography is amazing) 808 State - 90 (creative old school house) Any Kraftwerk from Autobahn to Electric Café/Techno Pop (the robots before Daft Punk) The Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole, Surrender and Further (their whole discog is amazing tho) Kaytranada - 99.9% (Flying Lotus if he did RnB) Boards Of Canada - Twoism, MHTRTC and The Campfire Headphase LCD Soundsystem - Self-Titled and Sound Of Silver Brain Eno - Another Green World (electronic classic) Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Architecture And Morality, Dazzle Ships (creative synthpop) Floating Points - Crush (the first half is amazing and expressive IDM) Hudson Mohawke - Cry Sugar (not the best album pacing but creative production) Future Sound Of London - Dead Cities, Lifeforms (early 90s psychedelic ambient music) The Orb - U.F.Orb (same but more progressive) Soulwax - Nite Versions (incredible production with rock influences) Underworld - 1992-2002 (better than listening to their actual albums personally) Roni Size/Reprazent - New Forms (Jungle done right) The Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land (that one big beat trio) Edit : Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillon (Electro Pop on Steroids) Fatboy Slim - Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars Massive Attack - Mezzanine I might have forgotten something, but I was really surprised to see no Chemical Brothers on this list considering that they are the british equivalent of Daft Punk. I have to say, In Colour was a great choice

[@8thFurno]

I too was surprised not to see any Chemical Brothers. Or Fatboy Slim for that matter.

[@antoine5871]

[@MintYukari]

@@8thFurno Oh how did I forget Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars, definitely one of my favorites electronic albums

[@jacoblacey7851]

Here's some of mine that I would add! (excluding anything from Radiohead or Aphex Twin) 1) Nurture by Porter Robinson. He mixes the sounds of Japanese folk with euphoric dance pop so well. It's an album as cathartic as it is intimate and beautiful. 2) Skin by Flume for the otherworldly sound design and incredibly curated features. His mixtape Hi, This is Flume is totally up there as well. 3) Caribou, Our Love, for the playful sound of indie rock woven in with calming electronics 4) Machine Girl's Wlfgrl is up there as well, for taking various drum and bass genres and breathing new life into them for a fun and creative explosion of sound 5) M83, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, for the beautifully cinematic (yet not overdone) shoegazy production and painfully nostalgic lyrics.

[@seatyourself7082]

Based list. Wasn't able to get into porter tho

[@edgeworth097]

He said at that start that Aphex and Radiohead were disqualified along with Daft Punk, as well as Björk and LCD Soundsystem. I'd add them too if it wasn't for that

There's loads I'd add to the list: Portishead - Dummy Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole, all their albums Bicep - Isles Jon Hopkins - Singularity Four Tet - There Is Love In You Bonobo - The North Borders, Fragments Justice's next two records are well worth a look, like 70s/80s era excess done with synths SBTRKTs debut Disclosure Dive by Tycho Moderat's debut Moon Safari and Talkie Walkie by Air The Warning by Hot Chip Melody AM by Royksopp Psychic by Darkside Fever Ray's debut and Silent Shout by The Knife Cassius - 1999

[@redm91]

Something I appreciate is that you didn't just go with other super popular edm albums like Calvin Harris, David Guetta, or Zedd, but instead went with unique and interesting albums that deserve a ton of more love

[@gx1tar1er]

This may be my opinion however almost all David Guetta, Zedd, Calvin Harris albums I've heard all suffered from aging production or sound. One More Love by David Guetta sounds very dated now.

[@fruit_smoovie]

Röyksopp’s Melody A.M. should’ve gotten some mention. Nothing else sounds quite like it, not even the duo’s other work. It shifts from dreamy, melodic soundscapes to slamming house beats seamlessly and is a hell of a ride throughout. One of the greatest downtempo records ever produced.

I guess Leak 04-13 by Jai Paul fits, and also Bon Iver's 22, A million too. But these are probably already know by your viewerbase. Gallows by DRAMA is very cool and funky with soothing vocals. Through the Walls by WhoMadeWho is to me a great electronic rock album with a mesmerising vocal. And even though it is a well-known album, GENERATIONWHY by ZHU is just so incredibly well produced it deserves a shout out, on my list

Great collection of albums! I feel Dial 'M' for Monkey by Bonobo should be mentioned, it's really a masterpiece

[@LowercaseLambda]

“Immersion” by Pendulum should have gotten at the very least, an honorable mention. It is easily the best Drum & Bass album of the 21st century. I can hardly think of any modern-day D&B song that had actually left me speechless. It baffles me to see that there’s barely anyone making D&B like Pendulum anymore. It’s one of the few D&B albums that actually makes me feel like I’m going through a journey, and witnessing a satisfying end to it. “Encoder” is easily one of the best album closers ever. Period. Not to mention the amount of experimentation with sound, and genres in the album, you get an incredible dubstep song like “Set Me On Fire”, a house track like “The Island”, and a metalcore/D&B fusion with “Self vs Self”. Despite being different from the other tracks on the album, they all fit perfectly, and bring the album to bigger heights with their interesting sound. A lot of people still listen to the album, but it hardly feels like most modern-day D&B producers haven’t picked up on the lessons they could learn from Pendulum.

[@cameronshaw7294]

An album with zero skips. It’s a classic. Of pendulums albums, they really found ‘their’ sound by immersion. Hold your colour was very British jungle/garage type DnB with lots of samples. ‘In Silico’ (my favourite album) is where they were finding their feet to become that pendulum sound. With more vocals from Rob, they found that rock DnB flair. ‘The tempest’ is a fantastic album closer too. Immersion, with loud punchy guitars, pounding drums and tasty synths with some great features and Rob Swire singing his heart out. I also like that the final track, encoder, ends with a underwater swishing as if to say it’s over. And then their follow up track, Driver starts with the sound of water anda man gasping for breath as if to say ‘we’re back’

[@Kostaras4444]

I love Pendulum, I'm waiting for their new track to be released.

[@NaaahBruv]

I'm torn about this. I much prefer Pendulum's older work, before they became a live band. Hold your colour is a great album and I never really liked what they did after that. It's weird, because I grew up on rock and metal, and am also massively into DnB, and produce it myself, but I just really don't like the crossover. I think a lot of producers have been heavily influenced by Pendulum, but the style of dancefloor DnB they were making back in the early to mid 2000's, while looked back on fondly, doesn't really fly in todays scene.

[@erikjakubec3292]

BURIAL deserves all the recognition he can get. UNTRUE is a fucking masterpiece and one of the best albums in underground electronic scene. Also honorable mentions you should have included: EPROM, Alix Perez, G Jones, OfTheTrees

[@dylanlevey9847]

“Untrue” is an incredible record, front to back. Without doubt, one of the best bloody electronic albums. In terms of its feel, it’s unrivalled. Just grimy, rain-soaked London streets at nighttime. So gorgeous, man.

[@sky.island]

these albums are taking me back to freshman year of college finding all these artists through Songza (RIP)

björk's 'homogenic' , ! ... "classical strings + techno electronica beats , with a hint of anger . both a punch to the gut , 🤜 and a fist in the air.” ✊ 🇮🇸 🇪🇦 🇬🇧 🎼 🎻 🎤 🎧 🎚️

[@B0r3Dude]

So glad you mentioned flying lotus he's seriously one of my favorite and one of the most unique producers. Another edm artist that I think deserves appreciation would be kaytranda

[@base4yrface]

This list needs There is Love in You by Four Tet. Also Give Up by The Postal Service if it counts

[@Middle8]

Four Tet is one that just got inched out. He would definitely take a spot in a Part II

[@volante56]

​@@Middle8 definitely add caribou, four tet, and deadmau5 for part 2

[@brandonkey181]

Wish this got more views this is a great video concept and great execution

[@ThunderHOWL16]

The Ineffable Truth by G Jones is the best electronic album of the last decade imo. a perfect blend of EDM/IDM with incredible sound design and it’s an album that just flows so perfectly. no skips!

[@dogtown4471]

Great video and even better list. Destroy rock and roll by mylo was a favorite of mine.

[@p0mpilius]

Wow I love all the albums everyone is sharing! Gonna add some albums I love to the list: Grant - Cranks Lone - Reality Testing Leon Vynehall - Music for the Uninvited Paradis - Recto Verso Ross from Friends - Family Portrait Mount Kimbie - Crooks and Lovers DARKSIDE - Psychic

[@david-jt2qk]

great takes, some albums that would need to appear in a part 2, in my humble opinion, would be: Flume - Hit this is Flume ODESZA - A Moment Apart Digitalism - JPEG TEED - When The Lights Go KOAN Sound - Polychrome

[@giddycadet]

YES i thought I was the only person mentioning Polychrome. unbelievable that this album even exists

[@davidvalero8275]

I would add: Crystal Castles - S/T (Dance-Punk, Synth-Punk) Crystal Castles - II (Witch House, Dance -Punk) The Prodigy - The Fat of the Land (Hardcore Techno, Big Beat) Porter Robinson - Nurture (EDM) Leftfield - Leftism (Outsider House, Tribal House) Daphni - Cherry (Tech House, Microhouse) System F - Out of the Blue (Uplifting Trance) I Hate Models - Totsuka No Tsurugi (Techno, Tech Trance) Everything but the Girl - Temperamental (Liquid Drums and Bass, Alternative/Contemporary R&B)

[@jayp7552]

Thank you for talking about velocity design comfort it’s such an underrated album and does get talked about enough I love it

[@geiko6637]

ah yes no aphex twin

[@herambganesh7798]

He was mentioned but was among the pop artists

[@peterproductions5015]

Go to 0:34, buddy.

[@Adamdunnart]

Knew this was going to be a good list kicking off with Jamie XX in Colour!

[@sunnowo]

I feel like Schwefelgelb is an artist duo not too talked about. A really refined old school techno sound, especially with Das Ende vom Kreis. Heard someone perfectly describe it as “what the electronic artists of the 70’s might have envisioned the genre would sound like years later”.

[@raphaelontherocks5688]

I needed this refreshment.

[@KorizonSounds]

This is an amazing list! If there is a sequel totally include something by oneohtrix point never

[@jackmiller2527]

Thanks for making me go back and listen to In Colour properly. Its one of those albums that i know a heap of tracks off of, but realised I had never listened to in its entirety.

[@rasvetx]

feelin good about knowing most of the albums in this top and i must agree. they are all very good picks

[@andreiadipaolo3238]

I feel really cool knowing I've listened to all of these a ton. 😅

[@quirkyjoeAnimated]

Lovely stuff. I'm a big fan of Lorn's Ask the Dust from 2012 and 2013's Engravings by Forest Swords

[@michaellopez112]

I’ve heard every album from # 7 and up except number 2. Will definitely check it out if it’s held as high as some of the greatest albums of all time

[@MidnightUnity]

It is really nice to see you touch a bit on the electronic world! Amazing selection! In a more experimental realm (and maybe for your own curiosity) here are a few other albums that are worth checking imo: Culprate - Delivrance Feed Me - Feed Me's Big Adventure Calvin Harris (before the EDM fame) - I Created Disco LSDREAM - Voyager I also realize that not a lot of artists in electronic music are releasing albums, a lot of EPs but not a lot of full length experiments.
