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) /\/)ark http://www.sonance.demon.co.uk/
