Hope you enjoy! I basically just pasted the albums I have with the most songs. Let me know if you want any more.
This is possibly the greatest electronic album of the 90s in my opinion.
Those guys were big here in Germany in the techno scene back then, and their tracks are still played by many DJs even today, I wish they would come back to perform here because I was too young in the 90s to see them, but my brother did.

Here's a list of all albums from the '90s I have in my mp3 folder. There's also a lot of rock in here, but you'll probably be able to recognize the band names and avoid them.

About to listen to this

I like it a lot. Very serene and dreamlike, but danceable.
>>72008843
Which track did you listen to? Shangri La?
That's like their biggest hit, but they also have weirder, harder stuff

Regis - Delivered into the hands of indifference
Jeff Mills - Waveform transmissions 1 and 3
Drexciya - Neptune's lair
Dopplereffekt - Gesamtkuntswerk
Robert Hood - Internal empire
David Carrerta - Le catalogue électronique
Unit Moebius - Work
LFO - Frequencies
Squarepusher - Feed me weird things
A lot of other stuff too but that's all I can think of right now
All the 90s albums by And One are gold

I think Timeless is a really special and noteworthy album. That kind of attention around drum and bass/jungle will never come back. It was a special moment in time.
Curve is a shoegaze band that turned to big beat in the late 90s.
Pic related is a cool album.

I have never actually listened to Danki Groove but Takkyu Ishino is one of my favorite techno producers

>>72009759
Takkyu solo is great too

He recently released a new album called Lunatique which was pretty good.
Definitely check out DG if you like him.
Spooky (not to be confused with DJ Spooky) as a whole is recommended if you're into Orbital.
Gargantuan sounds like Green/Brown Album while Found Sound is much like Snivilisation.

What!? I don't think so Tim. They went much more electronic after Cuckoo, agreed, but Big Beat? No.
>>72009973
Half trip-hop, half big beat.
The track I specifically linked to can be classified as big beat.
Severed Heads - Haul Ass
Everyone (who knows who the hell they are) always associates Severed Heads with industrial and the Nettwerk label but in the '90s is when he turned much more to an EDM sound.

I guess. I should probably be happy that someone is talking about Curve besides me.
one of the best right here
Speaking of big beat, pic related is also very cool and criminally underrated I'd go as far as to say. Released in 1992 and thus predating The Prodigy's Jilted Generation by a whole 2 years, Jack Dangers pretty much coined the quintessential big beat sound with this album (his albums up to that point only had hints of the genre to come).

Cool selection, anon. I really like these albums.

Count me as a Curve fan too. Pic related is amazing and really underrated.

Thanks for this! I can't believe I've never heard of this album. The song you linked sounds just like The Prodigy's later, more vocally oriented tracks.
