Without reading all the other replies (and thus running the risk of
repeating someone else), I'd go for:

1) 808 State "90" (ZTT)
2) Various "Artificial Intelligence 2" (Warp)
3) Black Dog "Spanners" (Warp)
4) Aphex Twin "Selected Ambient Works 85-92" (R&S)
5) Autechre "Amber" (Warp)

If you asked me the same question this time last week, I could just as
well have said:

1) Boards of Canada "Music Has the Right to Children" (Warp)
2) Plaid "Not For Threes" (Warp)
3) Future Sound of London "Accelerator" (Jumpin' & Pumpin')
4) CJ Bolland "Electric Highway" (R&S)
5) Sun Electric "Present" (R&S)
