The best produced electronic music

Hello!

I would like to know your opinions on what the best produced electronic music both technically and musically trough the times are?

List the producers and or any specific albums which still today sounds timeless.

I would like to name the Leftfield - Leftism as a starter.

I think Way Out West's self-titled debut album is a contender. You couldn't find a fault with the production even now, well over a decade on. The attention to detail and clarity of sound are incredible as well.

What do you mean by "technically" best?

The best mixing and mastering?

The most innovative or complex synthesis techniques?

The most minute attention to detail?

What i mean by technically is an overall clear and dynamically produced music with a good mixing and mastering.

"Clearest and best-mixed music" and most "musical" music don't coincide all that often for me. A lot of music with great-sounding technical production is really musically bland in my experience. Eric Prydz, for example.

better topic would be one based only on production value--not 'musical quality.'

Telefon Tel Aviv

Konrad Black has some of the most technically sound and beautiful production in techno imo.

Yes, you are correct about that.

One of the "new" up and comers that I have fallen in love with is Jaytech. He just released his first album of all-produced tracks called "Everything is OK" -- His tracks have depth and the basslines are absolutely sick. Production-wise it's magnificent but some people will argue that some new-school minimal stuff shows more expertise and craftmanship. But that stuff doesn't want me to get up and tear the roof off. Other producers I think are top notch and have been for awhile are, as mentioned BT, and of course PvD, possibly Nu-NRG and Blank and Jones, John Askew, Maor Levi, Niklas Harding, Jonas Steur, and definitely Sasha.

I'll think of more later

That album isn't the starter or the finisher. It is the album.

In every single track on the album there is loads going on and every little element compliments each other so perfectly.

The programming of the album is perfect too, Buidling up to open up and then ending with 21st century poem.

Amazing.

You'll laugh, but what comes to mind after BT and Way Out West is William Orbit's work on Ray of Light. Some others drifting around in my memory, but I can't place a name.

Yeah, i liked the music/production of that album too!

Bola is amazing in both production/musicianship followed by the usual IDM/Ambient/Elecronica suspects.

from a technical standpoint, bad sector.

he builds his own synthesizers from scratch. the result is an absolutely unique sound that is distinctively his own.
