Seems as good a time as any to link to the solid year-end Resident Advisor lists:

A lot of their picks for album -- Kuedo, Clams Casino, Replica, Andy Stott, Zomby, Machinedrum -- are spot on, though Jaar's album has yet to grip me in any effective sense. Plus, their top 10 tracks are absolutely impenetrable. If you haven't heard Blawan's "Getting Me Down," it's absolutely fantastic.

Yeah RAtop 50 songs is good. Some of my picks came from their list: whomadewho, tiger & woods, todd terje...etc.

Ehhhhhhhhhh...

I really wouldn't classify PB&J as electronic...

Great album, though.

Lol - if "May Seem Macabre" is electronic, so are The Smiths ! 🤣

"Replica" is a good album. The soundscapes are beautiful, but some of the tracks seem undevelopped.
"Space Is Only Noise" on the other hand, struck me as emotionally cohesive, with a dreamy nostalgic feel throughout the album.
