      The production on Worlds is fantastic. The synths are glistening and pristine, with flourishes of game-like sounds, synth drum fills and use of vocaloid that give the album such a unique identity among it's contemporaries. Meanwhile, Nurture is kept fairly minimal in production, letting the lyrics and the melodies speak for themselves and conjuring a serene atmosphere. In these senses, I think the production is just as good as anything listed in the video

    Here's some of mine that I would add! (excluding anything from Radiohead or Aphex Twin)
    1) Nurture by Porter Robinson. He mixes the sounds of Japanese folk with euphoric dance pop so well. It's an album as cathartic as it is intimate and beautiful.
    2) Skin by Flume for the otherworldly sound design and incredibly curated features. His mixtape Hi, This is Flume is totally up there as well.
    3) Caribou, Our Love, for the playful sound of indie rock woven in with calming electronics
    4) Machine Girl's Wlfgrl is up there as well, for taking various drum and bass genres and breathing new life into them for a fun and creative explosion of sound
    5) M83, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, for the beautifully cinematic (yet not overdone) shoegazy production and painfully nostalgic lyrics.

    Some albums that should be listened at least once :
    The Field - From Here We Go Sublime (amazingly done microsampled house)
    Autechre - Confield (way more unhinged than Aphex Twin, their discography is amazing)
    808 State - 90 (creative old school house)
    Any Kraftwerk from Autobahn to Electric Café/Techno Pop (the robots before Daft Punk)
    The Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole, Surrender and Further (their whole discog is amazing tho)
    Kaytranada - 99.9% (Flying Lotus if he did RnB)
    Boards Of Canada - Twoism, MHTRTC and The Campfire Headphase
    LCD Soundsystem - Self-Titled and Sound Of Silver
    Brain Eno - Another Green World (electronic classic)
    Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Architecture And Morality, Dazzle Ships (creative synthpop)
    Floating Points - Crush (the first half is amazing and expressive IDM)
    Hudson Mohawke - Cry Sugar (not the best album pacing but creative production)
    Future Sound Of London - Dead Cities, Lifeforms (early 90s psychedelic ambient music)
    The Orb - U.F.Orb (same but more progressive)
    Soulwax - Nite Versions (incredible production with rock influences)
    Underworld - 1992-2002 (better than listening to their actual albums personally)
    Roni Size/Reprazent - New Forms (Jungle done right)
    The Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land (that one big beat trio)
    Edit :
    Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillon (Electro Pop on Steroids)
    Fatboy Slim - Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars
    Massive Attack - Mezzanine
    I might have forgotten something, but I was really surprised to see no Chemical Brothers on this list considering that they are the british equivalent of Daft Punk. I have to say, In Colour was a great choice

    Seeing Boards of Canada getting mentioned on every video brightens me up. They're like one of my favourite artists ever period; and the rarities they've put out to public (A Few Old Tunes, BOC Maxima) and the undiscovered gems have been intrigued me for years about their overall sound pre-MHTRTC.

    • @gx1tar1er
      @gx1tar1er Рік тому +6

      This may be my opinion however almost all David Guetta, Zedd, Calvin Harris albums I've heard all suffered from aging production or sound. One More Love by David Guetta sounds very dated now.

    I guess Leak 04-13 by Jai Paul fits, and also Bon Iver's 22, A million too. But these are probably already know by your viewerbase.
    Gallows by DRAMA is very cool and funky with soothing vocals.
    Through the Walls by WhoMadeWho is to me a great electronic rock album with a mesmerising vocal.
    And even though it is a well-known album, GENERATIONWHY by ZHU is just so incredibly well produced it deserves a shout out, on my list

    Boards of Canada is amazing. I got into creating electronic music from Geogaddi. Also, Velocity: Design: Comfort got me into faster genres (ie Drum and Bass). Currently, I make Ambient Jungle but I was heavily influenced by High Contrast’s High Society. That album would be on my top ten.

    Still hurts me how dubstep's name got totally dragged through the mud thanks to Skrillex Et al.
    Mid 2000s was such an interesting time for dubstep, and not the awful hyper stuff most people associate it with. if you like Untrue, check out people like Kode9 (Hyperdub label head - who signed Burial) track - 9 Samurai
    Mala - album Mala in Cuba
    Loefah - tracks Mud, The Goat Stare
    The Bug - track Skeng, Poison Dart

    Gonna add some more suggestions to this list! The descriptions are maybe a bit wanky but hopefully paint a good picture of what the music sounds like and why I love it. All of these are 10/10 in my opinion, I really recommend just listening to each record in full (but I'll add some recommendations for where to start, too)
    Talaboman - The Night Land: Varied mix of hazy, dreamlike, almost shamanistic downtempo/techno with achingly beautiful melodies. (check: Safe Changes, Loser's Hymn)
    Daniel Avery - Drone Logic: Brilliantly crafted bleepy bloopy techno with lots of drama and a really distinct sonic profile. Kinda makes you feel like you are stepping inside the mind of an awakening machine intelligence (check: Naive Response, Drone Logic)
    Skee Mask - Compro: Utterly sublime and intricately detailed ambient techno with next level sound design, as broken as it is stunningly beautiful (check: Flyby VFR, Via Sub Mids)
    Dauwd - Theory of Colours: Would vaguely file this under "house" but in practice it's a lot more interesting and unique than that. Richly textured, precious and delicate music like a crystal gleaming in the light that might break as soon as it's touched (check: Macadam Therapy, Unconscious)
