kraftwerk started this whole thing in the mid 70´s...
since then lots of things have happened... but which do you
think were the best years and why?

maybe the early ninetees?

i confess i don't know kraftwerk all that well, but a lot of
the early nineties stuff owes a lot to kraftwerk, ie
autechre, afx

now with confield and gantz graf, ae are finally shedding
their skin and coming with something entirely new, imho.
hopefully others will follow.

so i guess i like the 21st century bestest ;)

time can tell that

1992 is a special year, coz Warp launched their Artificial
Inteligence series. The three following years was very rich
when it comes to electronica: The whole scene had this
positive, progressive vibe about it... God, I'm old!

I remeber Cascade by FSOL as a particularly mindblowing
historical electronica-moment. That was in '93.

the release of The Orb - Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld
was a big turning point as far as classic electronic albums
go, 92 i think

I have to correct you there, my friend, it was actually '91!
Blue Room was 92....

Glastonbury.

' 92 was a very important year for British techno. At that
time it received more attention from the underground scene.
"The philosophy of sound and machine"(ART/Rephlex) was the
very first British techno compilation. It collect early
tracks from Aphex Twin, Black Dog(Plaid), B12, Kirk
Degiorgio...
Also the Artificial intelligence serie was set up by Warp at
that time.

I kinda like 2001, all my favorite albums were released.
Drukqs, Confield, Go Plastic, Geogaddi, Clarence Park, I'm
sure I'm forgetting some more... pretty damned great year.

Of course I may be biased because I didn't know shit about
this stuff UNTIL 2001!

1995 - 1998

Think about it from the big three I think it was the best of
their work:
ICBYD and Richard D. James Album
Chiastic Slide and LP5
Feed Me Weird Things and Hard Normal Daddy

Other landmark albums from the same period:
- More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art (Carl Craig)
- Substrata (Biosphere)
- Soup (Bola)
- Music Has The Right To Children (BoC)

And I'm sure there are many more I've forgotten to mention.

Bola: Soup? a couple of nice tracks, most tracks are boring.
I can give al list of more than 100 releases from the period
90-95 which are ways better than this one

1974

......for then the Keyfumbler was born.

Sonn after that he started hearing the sounds he heard in
the womb and they were good. A few years rolled by where his
brain started to become cluttered with unnessary noise spat
out in between the static of radio waves and from the
television which bombarded him which much silliness. Then he
heard Squarepusher and AFX and returned to the womb. Now his
own latent sounds are trickling through and maybe others
will return through him........

I felt that last year was about as good as it was ever going
to get. . .

2 disc releases came from 3 great different artists last
year: Aphex Twin, Orbital, and BT.

Not to mention my favourite dj mix ever was also released
last year: Global Undeground 18, John Digweed in Los
Angeles!!!

Plus Crystal Method released their latest, Tweekend, which
admittedly wasn't as good as their first Vegas but was still
good.

well 1992 because SAW85-92 was release then (wasn't it?) and
this in my opinion is an amazing release even now 10 years
later... also I agree that 95 to 98 were amazing years...
ICBYD, Tri Repetae, The RDJ Album, Chiastic Slide, and the
best of them all MHTRTC!!! :)
