ESCM, personally.

R&R

Of course, you know I am going to say Emotional Technology because how often does pop music get supercharged with megadoses of esoteric sound processing techniness? And the answer is, hardly ever because most people belong to ONE camp but never step into the OTHER. BT evolved doing this since IMA, and I think *all* of his albums are wonderful and surprisingly consistent given his diversity.

10 Years In The Life is a good sum-up of his career pre-ET though. Liner notes have some neat stories behind the songs.

So even if it is technically a double album, I would forthrightly have to recommend this one if you don't own any BT albums. (It is a parallel analog to R&R.)

ESCM, hands down. Movement in Still Life import version comes in 2nd.

I didn't care for IMA too much, but Tripping The Light Fantastic is SOOOO good.

It's a tough decision between Ima and ECSM...but if I had to choose I would pick ECSM, every song on there is pure magic.

Ima is still amazing though, especially "Sasha's Voyage of Ima" on the 2disc version.

Holy moly agreement! That was an epic meeting of minds. Back then, too, they used to call it epic house or progressive house... I still find that amusing to this day.

BT's Best album

I think BT's best album was ESCM, although I love all of his albums. BT is one of the greatest producers of our time. He keeps evolving and blowing peoples minds. He is also able to appeal to everyone, without cheesing out too terribly much. Very hard to do these days.

Electric Sky Church Music for me but Ima comes close too.

If you want to get one, get 10 Years In The Life
that should capture all the previous albums in one-type thing.

I was also very fond of Movement In Still Life (UK Version)
Tracks such as Running Down The Way Up, and Satellite are pure bliss.

Check it out, get aquainted with the guy's style in each of his albums and see what you like.

Toss up between ESCM and MISL. Both great albums considering how much they differ from one another. It's amazing when you consider that Flaming June, Love Peace & Grease and Madskillz-Mic Chekka were produced by the same guy.

Tough call but I'm gonna have to go for ESCM.

Posted by websley on Aug-17-2004 20:12:

I guess it'll be ESCM in my opinion, but I'm still checking his work out so that might change. Besides: Anyone checked his website? Great stuff to download there, I saw his musicvideo today: Sonambulist. It's great shit!

Emotional Technology is good ,but ESCM.......very best from him

Posted by DJ Cinos on Aug-18-2004 05:43:

ESCM, then MiSL, then Ima.

R&R is a comp.

Posted by Cobalt on Aug-21-2004 09:10:

As much as I would like to say ESCM, I've always liked Movement In Still Life a bit more. I feel it has a more diverse and mature production value than ESCM, and better reflects the latitudes of BT's talent.

just listened to R&R again for the first time in about a year. the cd is pretty amazing.. the mixing is mediocre, but it's a good effort considering the songs he was mixing. you should check out R&R too.

Ima was so far ahead of it's time, I'll go with that one and the sasha mix at the end was just ace.

I love Emotional Technology but ESCM was really good.
