One durable person. One social graph. Many communities—and every way people speak, share, listen, write, gather and remember.
DJ Mag Middle East is doing a poll, what are the top 10 best dance albums of all time?? This is a tough one, what do you think?
My fav so far have to be Sasha- Involver Danny Howells- GU 24/7 Chemical Brothers- the Surrender Moby-Play Sander K- This is Everybody vol 1 Sasha & Digweed- Northern Exposure Deep Dish- Yoshiesque vol 1 Joris Voorn- Balance 14 Desyn Masiello- Balance 9

Re: 10 Best Dance Albums of All Time
If we changed the question to exclude compilations and just original albums what are your answers?
I'd add Daftpunk-Homework (although its not purely original cause they did get their beats from classic tracks)- checkout the video on youtube, where did daftpunk get their beats, its pretty shocking and funny. Also Cassius 1999 Way Out West- We Love Machine

Balance 5 Balance 14 Nick Warren - Reykjavik John DIgweed - Los Angeles Steve Lawler - Lights Out 1,2 Danny Howells - Nocturnal Frequencies Renaissance Masters series 2 - Hernan Cattaneo John Digweed Transitions 1 and 2

Finally, someone mentions an album.
Re: 10 Best Dance Albums of All Time
WOW - Intensify (We Love Machine has some great tracks, but this album to me is much better as an artist album) Sasha - AirDrawnDagger BT - Movement In Still Life Underworld - Everything, Everything Chris Fortier - As Long As The Moment Exists

Re: 10 Best Dance Albums of All Time

Re: 10 Best Dance Albums of All Time
My 2 cents:
Leftfield - Leftism Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman Orbital - In Sides 16B - How To Live 100 Years Adam Johnson - Chigliak The Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole Circulation - Colours Funk D'Void - Volume Freak GU024 Balance 005
Re: 10 Best Dance Albums of All Time
Going for ALBUMS and not mix compilations.
Moderat - Moderat. So in love with this album. Probably my favourite electronic album of the past 5 years. Pioneering. The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation. Obvious, but classic. So many massive club bangers. Underworld - Beaucoup Fish. Probably their strongest album, but they have stronger tracks elsewhere. Goldie - Timeless. This album truly is timeless, it still sounds fantastically fresh after all these years. Angel gives me shivers, state of mind is awesome. Inner City goodness! The Orb - Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld. Ambient house is born, awesome "morning after" listening.
Re: 10 Best Dance Albums of All Time
Artist album wise:

I just got this.. great vibe! Thanks for mentioning it : )
Re: 10 Best Dance Albums of All Time
totally forgot about Daft Punk- Homework!
Re: 10 Best Dance Albums of All Time
My list will just look silly:
It got to 8 x CD's just with these :
Sasha - GU013 Ibiza & GU009 San Fran John Digweed - GU019 Los Angeles & GU014 Hong Kong Sasha & Digweed - Northern Exposure 1-3 & Communicate
Plus from the GU series alone there's also Paul Oakenfold - GU007 New York, Save Seaman 012 Buenos Aires and Danny Howells 027 Miami.
Then I love all Hernan's releases, with South America being a big standout but it's hard to picke between the Masters and Sequentials.
Bedrock: Jimmy Van M, Chris Fortier and DJ Sawa.
Transitions - 4, then 2, then 1, then 3.
Sander Kleinenbergs NuBreed and Joris Voorn's Balance are both timeless.
^^ Need to think how I can get this list near 10.

Re: 10 Best Dance Albums of All Time
Good thread and some great lists so far. A few albums/compilations listed that I may have to check out. Well I went through my stuff and have separate ones for albums and compilations, and even then I couldn't keep either list to anything like 10. So, I have put a top 10 for each and then consider the others as honourable mentions in each list :-)
