40 More Greatest Electronic Albums Of All Time

- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2020
- In celebration of this channel's 5-year anniversary, I decided to drop another video with a ton of recommendations for albums I personally consider to be among the greatest of all time as an addendum to the Top 100 list I made many years ago.
Discogs list for easier reference: www.discogs.com/lists/The-Won...
My original 2016 favorites-of-all-time list: (Part 1: • Top 100 Best Electroni... Part 2: • Top 100 Best Electroni... Part 3: • Top 100 Best Electroni... )
(I have discussed many of these albums before so if you've been super-regularly watching my videos for several years you'll probably know most of these already, but good to have them all in one place especially for any curious newcomer viewers.)

my jaw dropped when eiffel 65 came up ... a true power move
I see Justice and Depeche Mode, i instantly love it. Happy 5 Years!
Lots of albums I ought to give a listen. And I did not expect to see Bibio on the list. Good way to commemorate an anniversary imo
Happy 5th!!
The best electronic albums videos are probably my favourites from your channel. Really helps me discover new artists and genres that I may of never known about otherwise. Glad you made another one of these videos. :)
This is the best list ever in RUclips!!! Every single album on this list I am in love with! Glad to see Tangerine Dream, Meat Beat Manifest, GAS, and Stereolab on the list. Congratulations this is an amazing list!!!! 😄
Congratulations on completing 5 years dude! You introduced me to a lot of great artists and I'll forever be grateful for that. Keep up the great work!
Glad I discovered this channel a few years ago, I've found some quality music through ya, even if our tastes definately differer in quite a few ways. :)
As for this list: Ochre is one of my personal favorite artists and the guy doesn't get NEARLY the recognition he deserves (Lemodie and Beyond the Outer Loop in particular are some of my favorite albums of all time). Also, that Venetian Snares album still holds up as one of the best breakcore albums ever made.
RUclips algorithms made me lose track of you. I am really proud of you this is such an amazing list. I can’t even believe all the diversity that’s in here, so perfect!
Im very much like you. My own personal taste is ambient with beats. I’ll have to check out the other list. But WOW!
You should check out Starsend on WXPN on Saturday nights-
I love your inclusion of Klaus Schulze, that’s my favorite. And his 10 volume collabs with Pete Namlook are my favorite (Dark Side Of The Moog)
Tricky Maximquaye, fuck yea- none of the other Trip Hop touches it.
Yello- yup-- Although some of their folky ethnic stuff you gotta steer around. “Vicious Games” from Stella.
Depeche Mode. I followed them in their day. I’m 57. I saw shows on every tour multiple times. I’m particularly found of the best tracks on A Broken Frame. The Sun And The Rainfall.
E2-E4, I go from loving that, to hating it. I think it’s a bit of hype created by media. I love Manual Gottsching though. New Age Of Earth by Ash Ra. I love the sound of spacey guitars with synths. No one is better than him at that that.
Steve Roach
Freur Doot Doot (the whole album)
Sun Electric
The Orb
Oh and yea, Tangerine Dream EXIT, for sure!! Although I know you love Prog- so Bent Cold Sidewalk off of Cyclone, and all of Force Majeure. But I think Stratosfear stands alone in the entire world. The non sequencer moments on that are super special IMO now that everyone has sequencers.
Maxinquaye by Tricky is by far the best trip hop album I have ever heard . Thx for including it
here is some choccy milk cause you are epic. i.redd.it/i1jw9ulha3351.jpg
Happy 5th anniversary! I follow you about 2 years and i like your style of reviewing electronic music, your personal perspective on it. I can also find out many new artists here. Glad to have you in my subscriptions. As a electronic music lover i send you warm greetings from Poland! ^^
Happy 5 Years! Can't believe I have been watching this channel since your Mr. Oizo All Wet video. I must commend you for your list because not only did you pick albums I had no knowledge of their existence and pick albums that I knew of but haven't checked out, but I did know and listened to, I fully agree to an extent. Cinematic Orchestra, Tangerine Dream, Clark, Cybotron, Justice, Art of Noise, GAS, and Meat Beat Manifesto.
The only two things I wasn’t fully in love with were the Arca and Primal Scream one. Arca is just an artist that I never really got the hype for and I personally would have chosen Primal Scream’s XTRMNTR for the band as I find Screamadelica dragging on after quite some time, losing all the energy I got with it. Also another disappointment I had was no mention of Yellow Magic Orchestra but I guess beggars can’t be choosers.
That said though, love the list and will be checking out the ones I don’t know anything about as they are the most interesting to me. While I haven’t been watching most of your recent videos as of late, I do quite enjoy watching your stuff and I hope I continue to do so for the next couple of years!
I clicked incredibly fast to watch this. As soon as I saw the title, I knew that this HAD to be good.
Great picks, I especially like Stereolab, J Dilla, Primal Scream and Tim Hecker. Also excited to check out the dnb and idm picks
I might add Irony by aco. Great fusion of pop, idm and ambient and it’s super underrated
Happy five years man! I'll definitely be sure to check out most of these albums, a lot of the stuff I heard here was really great!
I love your channel! Addicted! I often take your advice and you've turned me on to a lot of great stuff.
That Manuel Göttsching is a great choice
Since you like J Dilla, you will probably enjoy Nujabes. Are you familiar with him or his work?
nujabes is one of my favorite artists, like top 3. he was my gateway to hip hop
Kudos for including Yello. They don't get enough recognition for the impact they had on electronic music
Hey I've been following your videos for a long time now, and wanted to mention how much I enjoy them, even if you probably won't end up reading this.
Not just fluke, get some attention back to big beat! People say it's an outdated sound but how can it be outdated if it sounds so fucking good! Always my favorite genre. I'd love to see more, there's so much potential for it to be combined with other genres too. My only hope is the jetset radio community, thank God for Hideki Naganuma's music, his unique, iconic, big beat style works so well it just makes me want more artists to give it a swing.
The 5th anniversary of The Wonky Channel-gle, awesome work! Congratulations, mate!
Really like your channel dude. Great insight and suggestions.
Great list! Happy anniversary 🎉
Happy 5th anniversary my dude! If I had one reccomendation I could give you, I think Luke Slater's Freek Funk is also a good contender for a greatest of all time list, incredibly diverse album that flows really well
holy moly, there is a lot to listen to. Nice List!
Some really nice choices on here. I should look into Yello's catalog as well as that Lusine album you showcased. Did notice that you put Timeless on here though given that was also on the original Top 100 list. As for Fluke, I've gravitated more towards their final album "Puppy". The tracks "Snapshot" and "Another Kind Of Blues" are fantastic. Haven't given much of their other work a chance besides a song off of "Six Wheels On My Wagon".
Happy 5, man. Great video!
Congratulations on the 5 year anniversary of your most excellent channel Mr Wonky. Thanks for all the reviews. Please allow me to recommend one album back...
Uzect Plaush - More Beautiful Human Life.
I agree at 100% on the last pick but I really didn't expect it
This didn't show up in my feed for some reason. I enjoyed the video (even though I only watched for about 10 minutes)
Great list! I definitely would've replaced a few of the artist in that list with Above and Beyond, E.R.P./Convextion, Bogdan Racynski, Everything but the Girl, Steve Rutter/B12, and Fila Brazillia. Congrats on 5 years. We need more people on youtube like you.
Hey someone else likes Fila Brazillia.
Baby Mammoth?
BracketNeutron37 Two I enjoy baby mammoth, but for me personally it wouldn’t make the top tier list
Happy 5 years dude!
Nice list!
thank you for existing
Some of my picks:
Hol Baumann aka Olivier Orand - Human
Solar Fields - Movements
Carbon Based Lifeforms - World of Sleepers
H.U.V.A. Network - Ephemeris
Asura - Lost Eden
OK, enough Ultimae & similar :P More:
Depeche Mode - Violator
Nils Frahm - All Melody
Vangelis - 1492 Conquest of Paradise
Royksopp - The Inevitable End
Susanne Sundfor - Ten Love Songs (semi-electronic, outstanding voice)
Shpongle - Tales of the Inexpressible
Archive - Controlling Crowds
IAMX - The Unified Field
I don't listen to electronic music all the time, but I love it, and as you see, there's a lot of ambient/downtempo, some more classical, and rock-ish. I have a top 30 of albums of all genres, but the list will surely develop (I'm 21) :)
Great job!
How about the Proppelerheads? Decksanddrumsandrocknroll. I haven’t heard you mention this 90’s classic. All time great for me. What are your thoughts? Or anybody out there’s thoughts
Proppelerheads i guess worth a note, i mean it was pop but he mentions primal scream and dianna ross lol
Cabaret Voltaire - The Conversation really needs a reissue. No CD or vinyl since it was released in 1994 :(
Also Congrats on your 5th anniversary
Hey Wonky, i was wondering if you've heard of Coil - any thoughts on them if you did ? Aaaand - would you consider reviewing an album or two of them ? Thank you !
where’s the big piss
anyway, I was pleased to see Tim Hecker, Ochre, and especially Stereolab on here, great stuff
Sound-Dust is their peak imo 👀
_XTRMNTR_ is a pretty great listen if you're looking to get more into Primal Scream than just _Screamadelica._ I'm pretty partial to some of their '80s output as well, though stylistically it's nothing like the stuff you normally cover on this channel
Happy Anniversary Tommy! Been here since the beginning, your Pharmacy review, and it’s great to see the progression! Also, why wasn’t Madeon’s Adventure included in this since you really liked it, gave it an 8, and included it in your essentials list with Landon Remixes?
mainly because it was already on that essentials list and I didn't want there to be too much overlap
the Arca and Jon Hopkins picks stayed here mainly because I'd already planned on putting them here years before that essentials list came to fruition, and just feel more timeless to me
Why do I always forget his name is Tommy
Ambient Galaxy off that astral projection album is a banger for sure.
The Conversation is a great album--I also think the other 2 that were issued around the same time on Instinct in the US (Plasticity and International Language) are also really good and totally worth checking out
Can you review Remain in Light?
Thanks
Moondawn and Exit were my goto picks for playing F29 Retaliator on the Atari back in the day... awesome records.
The Residents, Suicide, Throbbing Gristle, Chris & Cosey, The Knife, Fever Ray.
Fever ray is really unique
Nice to finally see FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY on the list. But you should also listen to DELERIUM, which is the other side of these guys around BILL LEEB, RHYS FULBER and CHRIS PETERSON. Same guys, completely differrent music and sound and very high end.
Bill and Fulber were also behind the short lived project Synaesthesia which I'd say also has some great dark ambient material. The track "Hemisphere" is quite cinematic with its EBM-ish tones.
Tons of amazing albums
Some great albums there. If you're not familiar with his work, you might wanna give Momus a try. Also check out some Sparks albums for some great synth pop.
Curious of what you would think of Susumu Hirasawa
Hey Wonky, have you heard the new Sonic Boom album? Pretty cool stuff, a bit OMDesque, def worth a review.
Hey man new to the channel so not sure if you take youtube request. But would really like to see you give Drexcya a review. And by Drexciya I mean their stuff and all the umbrella porjects they had (Other People Place, Abstract Thought, Arpanet, Shifted Phases, ,Elektroids, DopplerEffekt... and well the list goes on). I think if you wigh to do a review in the electro genere these two are an essential feature.
Keep up the good content. Have discovered a lot of new music through you. Thanks
Immunity is a masterpiece
SO EXCITED
I go to make a playlist on Spotify of these albums/tracks and the 2nd album shown just.... isn't on Spotify? :(
yeah not all of these albums are on Spotify unfortunately, you may have to do some more checking around on some of these. The Conversation is on Apple Music/iTunes tho
I suggest you give Scot Project's "A1" a listen. It's one of the most forward thinking trance records imo and Frank's way of producing is super unique til this day.
I absolutely love the track "O (Overdrive)". Probably the most powerful trance banger I've heard.
@@bracket-neutron Hardstyle fans respect that track.
Thanks for the video. Can't wait to explore some new artists. If you get a chance check out Ekoplekz and Trillones.
Have you ever listened to Kiln? Astral Welder and Dusker are fantastic albums. All their work is great though. Discovered them recently and fell in love. Sort of like if Max Coo[per and Four Tet had a baby.
XTMNTR is a very good Primal Scream record to checkout after Screamadelica if you haven’t already heard it!
Clark so under rated great choices
YAY! MY WISH CAME TRUE!!
just wondering what other pete namlook albums you'd personally recommend? i loved air but am a bit intimidated by his back catalog lol, very interested to hear your recommendations
honestly I've been a little intimidated by Namlook's back catalog myself and haven't explored through as much as I'd want, though I remember having fun with the four sequels to Air (the series got slightly weaker as it went on but never dropped below good territory), I have enjoyed most of his "Dark Side Of The Moog" series with Klaus Schulze which were my actual introduction to Namlook in the first place (never made it to checking out volumes 9-11 but the first 8 are all really good, volumes 3-6 were probably my favorites), he had a compilation of material from his self-titled album series called "A View To A Chill" that makes for a good overview of that stuff (I've heard a handful of his regular self-titled albums and the first 2 or 3 are pretty uninteresting though I remember really liking volume 5 "Reality" and volume 6 "The Caves of Cubik"), I liked his first album under the name "Silence" with Dr. Atmo (haven't heard the other four of those yet but heard good things about them), and his two albums with Biosphere as The Fires of Ork were both quite solid too
I have been meaning to check out his Psychonavigation albums with Bill Laswell, his 2350 Broadway and Shades of Orion albums with Tetsu Inoue, his Dreamfish album with Mixmaster Morris, and his From Within albums with Richie Hawtin, heard good things about all of those too
@@TheWonkyAngle excellent, thank you!
@@TheWonkyAngle also while i'm here, i do remember you mentioning in your biosphere reviews that there were a bunch of albums that did microgravity's ambient techno sound better, and since i really have a craving for that sound, what are the albums you'd recommend based on that? (other than the fires of ork ofc, which i'm listening to now and enjoying quite a bit)
ok, idk about which ones would be better than Microgravity (which I did admittedly underrate in my review) but I'll give you a whole bunch of projects in the same kind of style, in no particular order:
Autechre - Incunabula (probably don't need a rec for this one but listing it anyway because it was mainly what I had in mind when I said there was better stuff out there than Microgravity)
Drexciya - Neptune's Lair
Drexciya - The Quest
Speedy J - Ginger
Speedy J - G Spot
Larry Heard - Alien
F.U.S.E. - Dimension Intrusion
Ken Ishii - Jelly Tones
Japanese Telecom - Japanese Telecom
Cabaret Voltaire - The Conversation
Model 500 - Classics
Autumn of Communion - Polydeuces
Jeff Mills - Sequence: A Retrospective of Axis Records
B12 - Electro-Soma
B12 - Time Tourist
Passarani - The Wildlife Of The Quieter Ones (just found out about this one by chance the other day lol)
@@TheWonkyAngle perfect, this should keep me busy for a while! thanks again for being the best resource on youtube out there to help people get into electronic music :3
Still no DeepChord Presents Echospace - Liumin? I'm actually confused...are you saving it for a special video? Have you not heard that album? I mean it's right up your alley right?
why is this worded like you expected me to have listened to and covered every album ever released that's "up my alley", you do know there are thousands upon thousands of electronic albums out there right
but yeah, I have not listened to that one though I have heard of it. haven't had the time to dip my toes into Rod Modell yet nor has there been a strong demand from people who wanted to hear me talk about him, though have heard good things about him in passing
@@TheWonkyAngle Wow! First of all I didn't expect you to reply. Please let me explain, I don't know why but for some reason ever since I listened to that specific album I've been trying to get people to pay more attention to it. Living in Peru makes it really hard to find people with similar musical taste as mine so when I found your channel I got overdozed with great critical content and felt the need to shout out my favourite album from that genre. I want to send big kudos to you and your channel, please keep it up with all these incredible reviews!
Cheers! Happy 5th Year! What no Blastromen??? 🤷♂️🥺😁
honestly? completely forgot they existed
I remember really liking them when I reviewed them way back when but they haven't stuck around long-term
The Wonky Angle haha! Fair enough my friend. I just think it’s outstanding for what it is. While I totally respect Cybotron for who they are, Human Beyond is a much better album. But this is just my opinion and you can feel free to disagree 😁👍🏼 I can remember you giving it quite a high rating.
I’ve never heard you mention Dubmood before. I know there are so many electronic artist around, but be sure not to miss this guy.
They’re ilke Sounds From The Ground in terms of ‘what’s not to like about them?!’ Every album a solid Dubmood sound. Take yer pick! 👍🏼
At last! Some Cabaret Voltaire (although The Conversation was just RH Kirk)
I’ve tried so hard with the GAS album mentioned. On paper it’s right up my street: ethereal sounding ambient music which evokes nature. But I just find it too repetitive. Will keep trying.
You should check out his other works too. Yeah, they're darker, however I feel they paint a better ambient picture and they aren't as repetitive. Each track brings something new to the table.
100% No Soul Guaranteed by Nasenbluten is one of my favorite electronic albums, it’s absolutely grating and difficult to listen to but I love how unapologetically aggressive and offensive it is (coming from someone that doesn’t listen to electronic much at all). It just straight up sounds like a panic attack and is probably my favorite gabber/hardcore album
You don't have to take drugs to enjoy this music but dammit it makes it soooooo much better. 😁😁😁
Just finished top 100 also and even with all the great picks there are two bands I expected to appear but never did: The Shamen and Finitribe. For Finitribe go listen to Sheigra from 1995 and The Shamen’s Hempton Manor and Axis Mutatis albums from late 90s. Also pretty sure it is mu-ziq and not micro-ziq of which In Pine Effect is my fave of Mike’s albums.
The comment i made on the last video was cuz PilotRedSun's music is best described as "Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, and Garfield mixed together" and i'm aware that you like Both Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada, and also Pilotredsun was one of the 1st music artists i was a fan of. also i don't have any money on my laptop so i can't do a request on Patreon, little embarrassing, but i just had to say this ;-; (also Pilotredsun had an old D&B alias (Bittertooth) and some songs from that alias have only one video and have less than 50 views, and Pilotredsun's RUclips channel has no music on it, and the only way to find his music is by uploaders of his music on RUclips.)
If you want a really good Depeche Mode album, Playing the Angel is stellar and I am loving it.
Hey Wonky, Nice video man. Next time could you make the video shorter and perhaps put some time stamps in the description. It is harder to go back through and see what artists/albums you were talking about.
well I did put a link to a Discogs list in the description which just lists out each of the 40 albums I talked about in order in case you want to go find them
@@TheWonkyAngle I apologize, my bad Wonky. Ill take the comment down. Thanks for the feeback.
when your fav channel has an anniversary
Ah there they are! Tangerine Dream! Exit is a great album!
So happy to see Eiffel 65. And I randomly scrolled to that point, too. Their vocals are bad but the music itself is really good!
enjoyed initial list but felt was missing detroit & black techno
Enrico sanguilano biomorph is s very good techno album just thought I would mention that one
Erasure - s/t, and Joy Electric: The White Songbook, two brilliant takes on synthpop you might call "progressive"...essential!
Would you ever do a discography review of Eiffel 65?
There is only three albums though.
@@flightg97shadowgarth32 I think there was more outside the US
Lol i also would love to see him do a modjo Discography review. Since they only have one album it wouldn't be too hard lol
hell yes
where is crazy frog?
Who are so dj / producers you listen to (if you do listen to then).
I think sasha is god! All his sets are godly also guy J ,Hernan cantteneo and nick warren
I don't listen to DJ sets very often myself, though Sasha & John Digweed's Northern Exposure is excellent and Richie Hawtin's DE9 Transitions mix is pretty incredible
The Wonky Angle cool thanks for alll the recommendation, love your channel and love exploring new albums ive never heard !
kishan rambu
You named some good names. I remember I had a Sasha, Digweed, Warren, Cattaneo phase. Very dreamy atmospheres. Nick Warren’s Reykjavik is one of my personal favorites from that type of sound. It’s very interesting hearing their sets from 10, 20 years ago, and now. Somehow, their old vinyl days resonate more with me. Also, got a chance to see Digweed live back in 2005 or so...aaaaaand yeah! He deserves the hype. For the four hours he was up, nobody left the floor. It was insanely good! Such a pro.
Also, check out Danny Howells 24:7, really nice.
Still no Welle:Erdball. I was disappointed ... again 🤣
#33... yes.............
Fluke is so overlooked and I never understood why.
truth be told they very much fit among many other big beat artists at the time, especially the more slick and techno influenced nu skool breaks that were surfacing. I don't think they offered anything new in particular, though their music is still enjoyable and pretty good - I love Puppy, the continuous mix on the first half is easily the best thing they've ever done
@@xbenci Would you have bands/albums/songs to recommend me, a Fluke fan?
@@xbenci Maybe. But if I pick another band like Apollo 440, they are also criminally overlooked, while clearly having their own touch.
Anyway, that's life. As long as I can enjoy their music, I'm fine.
@@Beuzer0 that sound specifically like Fluke not that many to be honest, not because there aren't many, rather because you're likely already familiar with Hybrid or The Crystal Method or others so I don't think I'd have a new suggestion there.
I do highliy recommend checking out Lo Fidelity Allstars though, they're my favorite big beat act right after The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy, so I hold them very high! you may like them since you mentioned Apollo 440, given they're on the chiller side of big beat often fusing that sound with R&B and downtempo grooves. their second album is the real hidden gem imo, one of my favorite big beat albums period, but I suggest checking out all three of their records plus the Ghostmutt EP if you feel like you haven't heard enough
@@xbenci Thanks, I'll check that
wot, no Kraphtwerx ?
When you said Kenny ishii I thought you said Kenny G
lmaoo i said "jeff mills is in the hooooouse" out loud to myself right before you did
Hm.. I guess FSOL must be in the other list!
that's correct lol. Accelerator, Lifeforms and The Isness all made the 2016 list
you know you can turn off buffering pauses on spotify
you sure about that? I don't have premium btw, I just use the free web player
This vid gets a like just for adding Timeless
Hm. I expected while(1
‘Few artists have abused the Amen Break like this guy has.’
But Toby Fox has. (Please listen to the soundtrack of Undertale. It’s great.)
Controversial opinion here, but I think the Deltarune Chapter 1 Soundtrack is better.
FlightG97 (Shadow Garth) Hmm … actually haven’t listened to that one yet, but from what I’ve heard, it’s great as well! (Want to beat the genocide route before playing Deltarune, but I can’t beat Undyne the Undying. XD)
wish deadmau5 was on here
eh he's already on the best of the decade list. I don't think I need to repeatedly recommend him to people given how ubiquitous and popular he already is anyway
4 minutes of justifications and unnecessary rambles before we even see a title card. Tighten it up a bit
