BEST (IDM?) ALBUM OF ALL TIME!

Okay, hear me out. In order to find out what is the best
album of all time (i use that phrase loosely) I need the
help of all you music lovers out there.

Here's how it works:

1. Pick a popular artist that you enjoy listening to (ex:
AFX, Sqpusher, AE, etc)

2. Name some albums from that artist. (Come to daddy,
TriRepetae, etc)

3. The only way for an album to be awarded "Best Album" is
that EVERYONE must enjoy the album.

!!!!!!READ THIS!!!!!!!

Although it may not be YOUR personal favorite album, that is
okay. Say your favorite album is Gantz Graf. Now not
everyone likes Gantz Graf, but since you're a hardcore
Autechre fan, you have no problem with letting Confield or
Ep7 be awarded.
The goal of this thread is to get everyone to agree on ONE
album. I know this is impossible, perhaps even silly or
stupid, but try to humor me.
_________________________

Okay here are the albums I'm putting up. If you absolutely
hate any of these albums, say so and they will be removed
from the final round of voting. If you'd like to add an
album that you think will win everyones votes, please add
it.

drukqs shouldnt be on there...me thinks (cause i fell asleep
through the whole thing when i heard it - also my roomate at
the time threatened to kill me if i ever played it out loud
again)

also hard to compare the rest as they are all so different -
and t'would be nice to see bogdan on that list...

funkstorung shouldnt be included because their best LP's
were remix compilations - appetite for disctruction was
horribubble

for longevity i would have to say tri-repatae plus plus (but
lp5 is soooooo good)

Guys, the fact that IDM was in parenthesis was meant to
infer that the 'greatest album' didn't have to be IDM but
very likely would be.. that's why Radiohead was included I
assume. I don't know a person alive who considers 'OK
Computer' or 'Kid A' IDM.. c'mon now.. :)

tri-repetae is the best. Every moment is so suttle and at
the same time so prominant. Just perfect in everyway. Sort
of the genre's OK computer, IMHO.

well, i'll take the name literally to mean intelligent DANCE
music, and so therefore it has to be something you can dance
to. thus the best would be either
SAW 85-92
or
Tango N' Vectif

Okay its time to clear up some things now that i've
successfully confused everyone. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IDM!
There I said it!

So far it seems like RDJ album is the most likely. Now is
there anyone out there that thinks the RDJ album is total
crap?

Drukqs is my fave... followed by Confield.

The RDJ Album is the quintessential ''IDM'' album to me,
though... it just has everything and it's near perfect.

Drukqs and Go Plastic are the two best IDM albums imo...
