Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.2/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

track list corrected (apologies for not noticing before) (Edited)
16 tracks? Not sure why we're ranking the 1998 reissue of Telekon instead of the original 10 track release but whatever. A very interesting release, chilly dark synth vibes throughout. Some of the best songs are the non-album singles. (Edited)

A silk hand to end an era.
Sounds a bit dated now but still a good record.
Another number one album and last at his peak, this has even more intricate use of keyboard overlaid sounds and contains great music.
