It was good, but was it really as good as SAW vol 2?

I was gonna mention it, but I figured one aphex twin album was enough, and SAWv2 was his most groundbreaking work by far...

We're not talking about your ordinary average everyday release. The afore mentioned albums are examples of what I'm referring to.

What album of electronic music can be said to hold the same stature as these classic recordings?

Bring it!

I'm reading this question differently than the rest of you. He seems to be asking not what are the greatest electronic albums (that would have been an easy question to ask, and surely he would have asked for the electronic equivalent of "The White Album" or "The Dark Side of the Moon"), but rather those albums that dare to be epic in their scope -- large arrangements, huge dynamics, major tempo changes, etc.

OK, so what electronic records dare to be BIG???

Sisters of Mercy -- Floodland
Chemical Brothers -- Surrender
Hybrid -- Wide Angle
Underworld -- Beaucoup Fish

...except for "Wide Angle" (and maybe "Beaucoup Fish") these are not the artists best works. But they are the "greatest electronica of EPIC proportions" that I can think of.

I agree with you on the people mis-reading it...but sgt peppers not only was it a big and innovative album but also early for it's genre...hence Zappa, Numan and might I add much of the music produced by Stevie Wonder in the 80's...sorry I can't narrow it down to albums...2many 2choose...

edit...
