So what "electronic" albums do you think have a timeless quality about them?more so than probably any other genre, 'electronic' music seems to be very beholden to the technology on which it was created and therefore is always seems alot easier to place in terms of time-period. i think that tends to 'date' electronic music more so than other forms so im asking which 'electronic' albums still sound good today.And by 'electronic' i mean disco, industrial, new wave, techno, house, d&b, downtempo and all off-shoots, etc. Rap music is NOT included.

I'd no idea what JNCO meant, I googled it. I still don't know what, if anything, it has to do with Goldie.
Is that what some corny assed American d'n'b heads were wearing in the 90s?

I was definetly expecting that to be the case when i posted this.
Its fun to see who likes (or more interstingly LIKED) what and when.
maybe in Britain.
Electronic music stayed on the mainland, it was not allowed into Hawaii until after 1992.
Herbie Hancock - Sextant
I don't know if that was ever really a 'classic' in its time.
a Mind Garden favorite.
Also, i think its kind of a challenge to think of the electronic "album" as oppposed to just the electroinic LPs that are just collections of singles...as many electronic LPs tend to be...
