| Favourite Dance Albums |
| 1 |  | Leftfield
Leftism
One of those rare dance albums that you can sit down and listen to as well.
Rhythmically powerful and musically complex. This albums truly shows how house
music can become an artform. |
| 2 |  | The Prodigy
Music for the Jilted Generation
The Prodigy's masterpiece. Faster and more melodically complex than the excellent
'Fat of The Land'. 'Voodoo People' is my favourite electronic dance song of all time,
the surrounding songs are excellent as well. |
| 3 |  | Orbital
Orbital 2
I have owned this album for a long time, even prior to getting into dance music.
Now that I am working my way through the scene I have come to the realisation
that this is one of the very best. There are parts of this album that completely
capture the experience of dancing the night away with a brain filled to the brim
with serotonin. A true hymn to joy if ever there was one. |

Timeless
I have got a particular soft spot for Drum and Bass and this album encapsulates all
that I love about the genre in a single track (the legendary title track). Atmosphere
with a surge of raw adrenaline, what more could you want? |
| 5 |  | The Chemical Brothers
Exit Planet Dust
An album for the perfect night out. A wide range of different styles from
hyperactive big beat to soothing chill out. Magnificent. |
| 6 |  | Infected Mushroom
IM The Supervisor
Heavy beats mixed with warped psychedelia. Count me in on this one. 'Stretched' in
particular gets me going. |
| 7 |  | Daft Punk
Homework
Heavy and surprisingly simple. Some of the most addictive bass-lines that I have
yet to come across in music. |
| 8 |  | The Prodigy
The Fat of the Land
Not as good as MFTJG yet still a masterpiece. More rocky and in your face but is
that necessarily a bad thing? |
| 9 |  | Primal Scream
Screamadelica
Ok some purist may not like this too much but who can deny the rhythm? 'Slip
Inside this House' is one of the best psychedelic dance songs ever recorded and
who can deny the appeal of 'Don't Fight It, Feel It' or the classic 'Loaded'?. |
| 10 |  | Hallucinogen
Twisted
If you are feeling like getting really fucked up and leaving your ego at the entrance
to the club then this record is for you. A record that truly lives up to both its own
namesake and the namesake of its creator. |
