 | No More Sweet Music by Hooverphonic
Buy new: $12.98 / Used from: $9.50 Hooverphonic at their best, with a very interesting concept: CD1 has 11 original songs, whereas CD2 contains 11 remixes. Check out both versions of "You love me to death", the remix of "No more sweet music", "Dirty lenses"... Highly recommended.

 | Statues by Moloko
Buy new: $30.99 The band split after this album, which I consider their best. Singles "Familiar feeling" and "Forever more", as well as "I want you" are faves of me.
|
 | Slowed Down by Kemopetrol
Buy used from: $45.99 This is a personal fave from Finnish band Kemo petrol. Pity their cds are not more easily found. From this CD, check out "Disbelief", "Without listening" and "Child is my name".
From other CDs: "Everything under control", "Undying love", "Overweight and underage" and "Planet".

 | What Sound by Lamb
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $5.81 A more mature sound from lamb. This is a Special edition. Look for songs "Gabriel", "Written" and "One".
|
 | Fear of Fours by Lamb
Buy used from: $3.61 Great 2nd cd by lamb, which includes a hidden track before #1. All of this CD is great, but if I had to pick just a couple of songs they'd have to be "B line" and "Fly". Check out their album "Between darkness and wonder" too.

 | Live: Roseland NYC by Portishead
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $3.24 The inventors of trip hop.

 | Blue Wonder Power Milk by Hooverphonic
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.99 A personal fave, Hooverphonic's best "spatial" sound for me.

 | Scorpio Rising by Death in Vegas
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $4.00 Amazing CD, where you have electronica, rock, pop, female and male voices and great songs.
|
 | Moon Safari by Air

|
 | Carefully by Najwa Nimri
Buy used from: $33.82 Najwa is a Spanish singer with 5 CDs already who has done electronica since the beginning. Some fave songs: "Following dolphins", "Dead for you", "Mind your head", "So often", "Push it", "Feel the beat", "Hey boys, girls", "Mayday" and "Like those roses". You'll have to forgive some pronunciation particularities of hers.
|
 | A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular by Hooverphonic
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $3.34 Great early trip hop. I used to listen to this album several times a day when I first got it but truth is Hooverphonic have much better cds. Check out "Innervoice", "2wicky", "Inhaler" and "Sarangi" from here though.
|
 | Gran Turismo by The Cardigans
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $0.89 The cardigans' only electronic endeavour (pity!). Check out "Paralyzed", "Hanging around" and "Marvel hill".
|
 | Haunted by Poe
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $5.55 This is a CD that everyone should have. A great concept album with some awesome songs ("Haunted", "Amazed", "Hey pretty", "Wild"). Go Poe!!!
|
 | Relax by Piratas
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $8.85 Farewell album by Spanish band "Los Piratas". "Ultrasónica" is better, one of my faves of all time, but they don't have it here. "Relax" is amazing too but one can only appreciate it after hearing something else by this band.
|

Buy used from: $11.82 Moloko's jump to fame. Classic tracks in here include "Pure pleasure seeker", "The time is now" and the remix to "Sing it back".
|
 | Naturaleza Muerta by Fangoria
Classic Spanish electronica duo, with lots of cds released. In the 80s they were part of "La movida madrileña". Some tracks recommended: "No sé qué me das", "Eternamente inocente", "Hombres", "Electricistas", "Cierra los ojos". Be warned, this is not for everyone!
|
 | Charango by Morcheeba
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $3.95 My fave Morcheeba of the Skye era.
|
 | Is This Desire? by PJ Harvey
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $1.88 PJ Harvey made an electronic album and the result was awesome. It's a pity she hasn't tried anything else at electronica ever since (but all of her stuff is great).
|
 | Endorfinas en la Mente by Chambao
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $8.49 Anything Chambao is great. They used to do "flamenco chill" (so their more electronic stuff is the earlier), but they have great songs. This is not for everyone, be warned, only check it out if you think you have a taste for Spanish music.
|
 | Black Cherry by Goldfrapp
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.83 Probably my fave Goldfrapp, although I also love her other CDs.

Listmania!
