Peel SessionPeel Session by Meat Beat Manifesto
Buy new: $29.98 / Used from: $1.95
short ep (4 songs) but this is a case of quality over quantity... "soul driver" is one of Meat Beat's best tracks, plus this has my favorite version of "radio babylon"- with a few words from jack that are absent in the other mixes.
Actual Sounds + VoicesActual Sounds + Voices by Meat Beat Manifesto
Buy used from: $0.99
this is the most psychedelic Meat Beat album (in my opinion). very weird... gives me those chills that you can't help but grin about. "3 floors above you", "Lets have fun", "Acid again", "Oblivion/humans", "Where are you?/enuff", "Hail the bopp" and "Funny feeling". the "Acid again" remixes are good too.
Subliminal SandwichSubliminal Sandwich by Meat Beat Manifesto
Buy used from: $0.97
spooky and slightly dubbed out double album, one of their best. "Future Worlds", "Lucid Dream", "Addiction", "No Purpose, No Design","Cancer", "United Nations (E.T.C.)", and "Pexus". Mostly instrumental, full of samples.
SatyriconSatyricon by Meat Beat Manifesto
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $1.53
my first exposure to the sounds of Meat Beat Manifesto. a very good place to start. Has some great tracks, "Mindstream", "Your Mind belongs to the State", "Original Control", "Edge of No Control" parts 1 & 2, "Brainwashed this way/Zombie/That shirt", "Euthanasia", and "Placebo". full of samples. Jack's lyrics are thought provoking.
Storm the StudioStorm the Studio by Meat Beat Manifesto
Buy used from: $5.95
Their intended first album was lost in a studio fire, this is an ep of remixes from four songs off the lost album. i love this album... "God O.D." and "Re-Animator pt.1" are sooo good. Meat Beat tried to recreate their debut album resulting in "Armed Audio Warfare"... which is good but after groovin to "Storm the Studio" for so long i prefer it over "AAW"
RUOK?RUOK? by Meat Beat Manifesto
Buy used from: $3.13
another one of my favorite Meat Beat albums. "Spinning round", "Horn of Jerico", "What does it all mean", "Hankerchief Head", "No echo in space", "Dynamite fresh", and "Retrograde".
RUOK in DubRUOK in Dub by Meat Beat Manifesto
Buy used from: $9.50
this is a remix album of "RUOK" in a dub format. i like this version better than the original. every track keeps the pace with the exception of "Timebomb Dub"

Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $4.01
Jack explores jazz... great album. every track is solid.
Off CentreOff Centre by Meat Beat Manifesto

don't know why these tracks weren't included with "At the Center"
AutoimmuneAutoimmune by Meat Beat Manifesto
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $10.33
the latest Meat Beat release. actually took me a few listens to get into the whole album, dunno why. "International", "I hold the mic", "Less", "Solid waste", "Lonely Soldier", "Guns n Lovers", "Return to Bass". "Spanish Vocoder" is my favorite off this one.
Loudness Clarifies/Electronic Music from TapelabLoudness Clarifies/Electronic Music from Tapelab by Jack Dangers
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $8.50
Amazing- you'll be blown away by this. a relentless attack on your senses. almost every track is note worthy on "Loudness clarifies". "Electronic music from tapelab" is very abstract... not really songs... more like collection of strange sounds, i didn't understand it until my friend and i listened to it on itunes with the visualizer as accompaniment. very interesting.
Varaciones EspectralesVaraciones Espectrales by Jack Dangers
Buy used from: $3.17
Jack's first solo studio album. outstanding
Hello Friends!Hello Friends! by Jack Dangers
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $0.64
a mix from Jack Dangers mostly consisting of Tino's Breaks.
ISDNISDN by The Future Sound of London
Buy used from: $2.50
probably my favorite FSOL. alot of samples... recognize sound effects from Disney's "the Black Hole" and a line from "Repo Man"- This album has "slider", "smokin japanese babe", "eyes pop- skin explodes- everybody dead", "kai", and "amoeba" to name a few.
LifeformsLifeforms by The Future Sound of London
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $3.25
my first exposure to FSOL. this album put me and a friend in a trance. it changed the way i look at music. if death is anything like "lifeform ends" then we all await a beautiful experience when the time comes. also check out the "Lieforms" singles, which have vocals by Elizabeth Fraser, and the "Cascade" singles
Dead CitiesDead Cities by The Future Sound of London
Buy used from: $1.88
edgy, dark, haunting, beautiful, this album has most of FSOL's "hits" on it. my favorites off this one are "Dead cities", "Her face forms in the summer time", "My Kingdom" (which has a vocal sample from Vangelis' "Rachel's song"), "Yage", "VIT drowning/ through your gills i breathe", "First death in the family".
Tales of EphidrinaTales of Ephidrina by Amorphous Androgynous
Buy used from: $2.56
aka FSOL. unique album. my favorites are "Swab", "Mountain goat", "Ephidrina", "Auto pimp" and "Fat Cat". avoid their newer albums, Amorphous Androgynous kind of fell off, dunno what happened?
AcceleratorAccelerator by The Future Sound of London
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $1.97
FSOL's first release. different from their later releases, has more of a techno feel as opposed to ambient, still very well done. "Papua New Guinea" is a classic. "Expander", "Stolen documents", "Calcium", "1 in 8", "Central Industries".
Are You Shpongled?Are You Shpongled? by Shpongle
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $8.35
shpongle's first effort, sets the mood and creates a relaxed and entertaining setting for sessions. if you've never heard Shpongle... you need to. there sound is very new age, a combination of world music and trance along with some warped effects.
Tales of the InexpressibleTales of the Inexpressible by Shpongle
Buy used from: $59.99
their second release, it's hard to pick a favorite shpongle album, they all share similar components while remaining very unique, "Tales of the Inexpressible" builds from where "Are You Shpongled?" left off. Amazing
Nothing Lasts But Nothing Is LostNothing Lasts But Nothing Is Lost by Shpongle
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $44.08
their last album, they've definitely evolved, i prefer their first two but this one's growing on me, it has a more digital feel to it where as the previous releases sound a little more natural, i love "Levitation Nation","The Stamen of the Shaman", and "Linguistic Mystic".
Sessions 84-88Sessions 84-88 by Humanoid
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $7.97
collection of early acid house from Brian Dougans (FSOL) under the guise of "Humanoid" and "Zeebox". Has the "Stakker Humanoid" (snowman mix), "Hulme Slipway", "Small Cluid", "Jet Stream Tokyo", "Well Meaning" and "2nd of May".
GeogaddiGeogaddi by Boards of Canada
Buy used from: $10.32
my first exposure to BOC and still my favorite. something menacing about this album. i haven't looked into it much but there are supposedly various occult references throughout the album. not surprisingly- the full length of the album is 66 minutes and 6 seconds long- 666
Music Has the Right to ChildrenMusic Has the Right to Children by Boards of Canada
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $8.42
the lighter side of Boards of Canada, still very mysterious. some great tracks. "Kaini Industries", "ROYGBIV", and "Aquarius".

from Ben Stokes aka Dimensional Holophonic Sound (he also has a hand in Meat Beat Manifesto). sci-fi house music, full of samples. "Fascinating" has a sample of Spok from Star Trek. All the tracks will make your head bump. great album... also get the song "House of God".
