I don't know if this will fly, but I certainly would love to see some lists that reflect the relative placement of electronic/dance albums that people are likely to put on their year-end list. Go nuts.

Hmm, I wanted to hear Batbox but forgot about it. I'll go search for it now. Thanks for reminding.

This topic will be good for me to find out new artists since I'm not fully knowledged (<-- is that even a word?) in this genre yet since it's my newest introduction.

Update:

I just finished listening to some songs from Batbox and I enjoy the music quite a bit. My only negative are the lyrics. Some of them are just so lame.

yeah, but that's what happen with many electro records: cheap lyrics and all is in the beats and ambiences.

I’m liking Sool by Ellen Allien quite a bit at the moment. It's extremely minimal, like the latest Pole, but more Ricardo Villalobos sounding. I haven’t given the whole album a listen through yet since there are so many other albums that are stealing my attention: Scarlett Johansson, Booka Shade, Born Ruffians, Santogold and very soon diskJokke.

This is a good idea. I don't really have enough to make a respectable list yet, but I should soon. I'm about to listen to that Crystal Castles album that's been getting to much attention 'round these parts. I'm very intrigued.

Autechre. Possibly Crystal Castles, we'll see how it holds up. And of course Portishead if that qualifies.

Zombie Zombie's "A Land For Renegades" is pretty damn solid and sort of menacing electro.

Whatever happened to Two Lone Swordsmen? Their "From The Double Gone Chapel" and "Tiny Reminders" are two of my favorite electronica/IDM albums of this decade.

I also enjoy these:

Portishead - Third
Notwist - The Devil, You + Me
M83 - Saturdays = Youth
Dosh's new one (The name escapes me and i don't know if it qualifies as electronica)
Clark - Turning Dragon

Anybody liking Veto's Crushing Digits?

I think it's a heap of fun. Big Grin



Also liking:

Hercules & Love Affair - s/t.
M83 - Saturdays = Youth.
Portishead - Third.
Crystal Castles - s/t.
Atlas Sound - Let The Blind Lead...
Zombie Zombie - A Land For Renegades (I'm just listening to them for the first time right now, but they can easily make my electronic, not to mention my general Top Ten List).




A couple that might not belong here:

Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree.
Santogold - s/t.


A couple I haven't listened to yet:

Supreme Balloon - Matmos.
Silent Movie - Quiet Village.
Emergence - Trifonic.
Batbox - Miss Kittin.
Street Horrrsing - F**k Buttons.
