| In the 5 years between Untrue and Rough Sleeper, Burial went from good at what he does to a true master. This is what I wanted Untrue to be. |

| This album tried to warn us about the over-reliance on digital technology almost 20 years ago and did we listen, no. |

A little inconsistent at times but certainly a classic in electronic music. Fav songs: New Gold Dream, Somebody Up There

| Skee Mask Compro |
| Skee Mask Resort |
| Skream Skream! |
| Soul II Soul Club Classics Vol. One |
| The linchpin for the 90s, that set the precedent from the cold and metallic to the warm and earthy. |
| The Caretaker Everywhere at the End of Time |
| This album is amazing, especially stages 1-4, not so impressed by 5-6. I will probably never ever sit through this again though. |

| 0-15 minutes, interesting, 15-30 mins kind of boring, 30-45 mins okay this is pretty cool 45-1 hour, okay this hum and acceptance of reality and the emptiness of existence and time is bringing me to tears |
| 4.0 excellent |
| A.A.L. (Against All Logic) 2017-2019 |
| Aphex Twin Drukqs |
4.3 - Points off for being bloated as hell, but points added for having amazing tracks like Vordhosbn, Jynweythek
and Mt Saint Michel. |
| Aphex Twin Come To Daddy |
| Highlights are obviously Flim and IZ-US, the rest is not too shabby, Bucephalus has some amazing drum programming. |
| Arca KiCk i |
| Riquiqui is awesome but on the whole it falls apart. |
| Arca KICK ii |
| Autechre Tri Repetae |
| Bataille Solaire Dolby's ON |

| Super fun and energetic album with an exotic feel. |
| Bjork Homogenic |
| Black Moth Super Rainbow Dandelion Gum |
| Boards of Canada The Campfire Headphase |
| First 5 songs are great, rest is kinda meh. But its BoC so obviously they get atleast a 4. |
| Caribou Swim |
| Caterina Barbieri Ecstatic Computation |
| Charli XCX Brat |
| Com Truise Galactic Melt |
| Has a purpose, serves it well, points for being ahead of the synthwave explosion that dominated the mid-2010s. |
| Crystal Castles Crystal Castles II |
| Daft Punk Random Access Memories |
| Daft Punk always followed their heart, and I commend them for that. |
| Depeche Mode Violator |
| 4.3 - Album is growing on me. Policy of Truth and Blue Dress are amazing. |
| Depeche Mode Black Celebration |
| As with most DP albums, Gores ballads are sandwiched inbetween the foundational tracks and I always think they drag the album down. Black Celebration, Fly on the Windscreen, Stripped, Dressed in Black and New Dress are enough to warrant this atleast a 4.3 though. |
| Digitalism Idealism |
| Extrawelt Extra Welt Hits 2005 - 2020 |
| Soopertrack, 8000 and Neuland are highlights here and some of my favourite techno songs ever. |

| James Blake James Blake |
| James Blake Love What Happened Here |
| James Ferraro Far Side Virtual |
| Jamie xx In Waves |
| Jlin Black Origami |
| One of the most misunderstood electronic albums, this is a great album if you understand whats its for, this is music stripped to its essentials, becoming one with the rhythm and letting go of the need to control your body, put this on your speaker and dance to it. |
| Joey Beltram Classics |
| Juno Reactor Shango |
| Justice † |
| Kode9 and the Spaceape Memories of the Future |
| Kraftwerk Computer World |
| The robots seem a bit more depressed here, there is some underlying emptiness in these tracks, still bangs though. |
| Kraftwerk Autobahn |
| Super innovative for the time, but I still think it isn't as focused as their later stuff. |

| Some bangers on here but the flow of the album is awful. |
| Shinichi Atobe Heat |
| Sophie Product |
| Alot of music that tries to be unique comes off as forced, this on the other hand sounds completely natural and like her true voice. |

| The Avalanches Since I Left You |
| The Future Sound of London Lifeforms |
| The Human League Dare! |
| The Knife Deep Cuts |
| Some obvious classics but the basic ass production leaves alot to be desired. |
| The Knife Shaking the Habitual |
| The Knife did a 180, took a risky approach in both sound and structure, a rebirth like that will result in alot of tedious experimentation and alot of brilliance. |
| Thievery Corporation The Mirror Conspiracy |
| Tiga Sexor |
| u-Ziq Lunatic Harness |
| Underworld dubnobasswithmyheadman |
| Great melodies and hooky, great synthwork, super well produced but... a little safe maybe, I cant really think of any moments that wow me or that I want to go back to, and way too long, STITI will always be my favourite. |
| Whitehouse Bird Seed |
| 3.5 great |
| Alva Noto Transform |
| Andreas Tilliander World Industries |
| Andy Stott Faith in Strangers |
| Arca KicK iii |
Arca is a genius at what she does but she often stumbles into the problem of demanding alot from you without giving
you much fun while listening, there is alot of cool ideas here but its so close to giving me a headache too. Wish she
wouldnt be afraid to strip back and lighten up a bit. Sometimes music is the silence inbetween the notes. |
| Astral Projection Trust in Trance |
| Autechre Draft 7.30 |
| Avicii True |
| Barker Stochastic Drift |
| Barker Utility |
| Disclosure Settle |
| A bit too safe and accessible but not too daring which makes it quite dull after a few listens, you get some clean and solid garage, house beats and alot of great features and thats about it. Help Me Lose My Mind will always be nostalgic to me though. |
| Dorian Electra Flamboyant |
| FKA Twigs LP1 |
| Giant Claw Mirror Guide |
| Goldfrapp Black Cherry |
| Honey is sweet and drips slowly, but I cant have an entire jar of it at once. Black Cherry is a heartbreaking and wonderful song though full of regret and nostalgia. |
| Hudson Mohawke Butter |
| Huerco S Plonk |
| Iglooghost Tidal Memory Exo |
| Jessy Lanza Pull My Hair Back |
| Lotic Heterocetera |
| Magdalena Bay Mercurial World |
| Mat Zo Damage Control |
| Max Cooper Yearning for the Infinite |
| Perpetual Motion is the standout track here. I just think the rest sounds a little run of the mill glitch-wise and not engaging enough. |
| Mount Kimbie Crooks & Lovers |
Superb production but ultimately nothing more than that, I understand this albums importance and influence
though.
Edit: Growing on me. |
| NOISIA Outer Edges |
| Oneohtrix Point Never Garden of Delete |
| Forgoes the brevity of Replica in an attempt to be unique, I find myself coming back to only a handful of songs. Ezra, Sticky Drama and Animals are the highlights. |
| Plastikman Sheet One |
| Plasticine is a banger but acid techno tends to drag in album format. |
| Portishead Dummy |
| Rustie Glass Swords |
| Surph is ultimately the only thing I will come back to here, points for overall uniqueness though. |
| Ryoji Ikeda Supercodex |
| Second Woman S/W |
| Cool stuff but a bit cold and underdeveloped, hope to see these guys expand on these experiments more. |
| Sophie Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides |
| Suzanne Ciani Seven Waves |
| Teebs Ardour |
| The Bug London Zoo |
| The Flashbulb Kirlian Selections |
Kirlian Isles II is one of my favourite songs of 2021 but the album as a whole is pretty much just decent. Benn
Jordan has an awesome Youtube channel though that you should check out! |
| The Prodigy Music For The Jilted Generation |
| Voodoo People, Poison and Speedway are amazing and forever classic but the rest is quite dated. |
| upsammy Germ in a Population of Buildings |
| Vitalic Ok Cowboy |
| 3.0 good |
| Actress Splazsh |
Quite inconsistent, some gems like Hubble, Always Human and Purrple Splazsh but also quite a few
disappointments. |
| Airhead & James Blake Pembroke |
| Amnesia Scanner Tearless |
| Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works Volume II |
| Number 3, 7, 19 are great, but definitely my least listened to AFX album. |
| Deadmau5 For Lack of a Better Name |
Yes, this album was important for developing my taste back in 2010 but as a whole its very underdeveloped, it
has very little actual material. |
| Djrum Portrait with Firewood |
| Holly Herndon Platform |
| Iglooghost Neo Wax Bloom |
| So much going on and so dense that it basically becomes impossible for any song to stick to your memory, alot of white noise metaphorically speaking. |
| Kornel Kovacs Hotel Koko |
| Motor City Drum Ensemble Dj-Kicks |
| NOISIA Split The Atom |
| Skrillex Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites |
In retrospect... I mean, it certainly has its stand out tunes, unfortunately the mixing and sound selection is quite
atrocious. It may have sounded like something new at the time but really he just took already existing ideas and sounds
from artists like Justice, Noisia, Deadmau5 and Rusko that sound way better than this. Not to mention that it spawned
the demonic child that is brostep. I cant give it an average because it definitely jumps out the speaker even though it
does so mostly in a kind of annoying fashion. |
| Steve Aoki Wonderland |
| This album is hilariously bad, the only reason I dont rate it awful is because its also hilariously fun. |
