What are 3 - 5 albums that you listened to all the time during the first couple of years of listening to electronic music (or house, or break beats or trance, or whatever)?

Re: 3-5 Albums That Got You Started

Northern Exposure 1 and 2 for sure.

Biosphere - Substrata (for all things ambient - that album was a revelation)

Re: 3-5 Albums That Got You Started

Dude I gave [URL="http://musicmp3.ru/artist_robert-miles__album_dreamland.html#.VPMArrPF9Hg"]Robert Miles[/URL] a spin this morning, it's rather entertaining, good memories at least :).

..i would agree though that the first albums will always be somewhat special. because, at least for me, it was like a new world opened up.

Re: 3-5 Albums That Got You Started

god, these all bring back such great memories. it's pleasant and funny to see so many of the same albums on here. not surprised many folks put down the NE series. it actually took me a long time to listen and appreciate sasha and digweed. Jibs was actually the one that opened my mind to them.

Same here I didn't listen to NE until relatively recently. I was able to get an almost mint condition copy off discogs for around 50eur, might sound cheesy but it's one of my most prized possessions.

not cheesy at all man, I still have my NE cd cases on my main entertainment rack in my living room, ready on a whim to listen. they are priceless!
