Selected Ambient Works 85-92
2.  Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin
The list author says:
  "Stripped down to basic beats and haunting synth lines, Aphex Twin's first LP is utterly mezmerising. It still sounds as  unearthly as it ever did."

Selected Ambient Works Volume II
3.  Selected Ambient Works Volume II by Aphex Twin
The list author says:
  "Dropping the beats entirely, S.A.W. II is no lame sequel. It's a sprawling excursion into the human subconscious, swinging smoothly from fearful to peaceful; hypnotic to chilling."

76:14
7.  76:14 by Global Communication

Discovery
8.  Discovery by Daft Punk
The list author says:
  "Original, interesting and at the same time, fun. That's difficult to pull of in music and Daft Punk did it over and over again on this one. Plus it's a great pop record; also hard to find."
£5.67   Used & New from: £0.64

Music For The Masses
10.  Music For The Masses by Depeche Mode
The list author says:
  "The amount of influence Depeche Mode have inspired is staggering. MFTM ranks among their best; big beats, down-trodden vocals and stadium-sized riffs. Electronica would be very different without this."
£6.22   Used & New from: £3.49

Mezzanine: Limited Edition
11.  Mezzanine: Limited Edition by Massive Attack
The list author says:
  "A mind-bending chalustrophobic classic. One of the best records of the 90s, period. Astonishing from start to finish. Plus it just doesn't get old."
£5.42   Used & New from: £0.30

Blue Lines
12.  Blue Lines by Massive Attack
The list author says:
  "If you can call this electronica (and I'm not sure you can) it's near-perfect. Smooth, soulful with superb darker edges. A landmark record."

Maxinquaye
13.  Maxinquaye by Tricky
The list author says:
  "While Massive Attack's Mezzanine was dark, their fellow Bristolian Tricky's debut was pure inky black. Whether it's hip-hop or electronica, it's one of the best records of either genre."

Lunatic Harness
14.  Lunatic Harness by Mu-Ziq
The list author says:
  "Building on Aphex Twin's drill n bass template, the frenetic speedy rhythms are developed further until they become truly epic. Simultaneously jagged and smooth."

Moon Safari
15.  Moon Safari by Air
The list author says:
  "A pinnacle of the annoyingly dubbed "chill out" genre, Moon Safari is sublime. Diverselyy influenced, silky smooth and strangely emotional. A record that's really hard to hate. see also: Talkie Walkie"

White Room
18.  White Room by The KLF
The list author says:
