Indeed, totally revolutionary in the use of ye olde technology and electronics. For the same reason, I'd go for My Bloody Valentine - Loveless, even though there's probably hardly f**k all synths on there, it's still 'indietronica' for shure.

I wouldn't call anything electronica. Such an obscure term...

The albums that turned me from a 15-year old maniacal Pink Floyd fan and prog rock fascist into appreciating contemporary electronic music and consecutively dance music and consecutively pop music in general:

Leftfield - Leftism
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Portishead - Dummy
Tricky - Maxinquaye
FSOL - Lifeforms

Oh, yeah. Also Subotnick's "The Wild Bull." Based on one of the oldest poems known, the lament of a warrior's wife. I find the cover truly unnerving. The sound, taken along with the cover art, is absolutely chilling.

I have always believed that quiet meditation and introspection can be far more frightening than explicit violence.

Oh, I almost forgot too. Computer World - Kraftwerk.

We used to crank up "It's more fun to compute" as we would cruise around town, utterly freaking all the rednecks out! That first crankin tone in that song sounded as big as a stack of marshalls.....to me.

"Leftism" by Leftfield is an amazing album, and one i have listened to frequently for about 7+ years i reckon. Off the top of my head i haven't consistently listened to anything else like that.

I reckon that counts as influential

I could be wrong but i believe it was their debut album, and regardless of whether thats true its surely one of the best loved electronica albums of the last 10 years. In my experience a very wide variety of people love it, including for example the missus who has an almost exclusively indie/alternative rock music collection.

Others...

Chemical brothers - Exit Planet Dust
Royksopp - Melody AM
Reprazent - New Forms(Electronica? maybe)
Prodigy - Music for a Jilted Generation
Fatboy Slim - Better Living through Chemistry
Eat Static - Abduction
Ed Rush + Optical - Wormhole

Your Most Influencial Electronica Album
