1) A Tribe Called Quest – People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
I always seem to come back to this album every summer.

2) Luke Slater’s 7th Plain* – The 4 Cornered Room
This is possibly the most emotional piece of electronica ever.

3) Pink Floyd – The Dark Side Of The Moon
So many aspects of this are just perfect. Always seems to be used as a reference for production.

4) Dan Curtin – Silicon Dawn
I remember hearing this for the first time and realising that techno was entering a new era.

5) Stevie Wonder – Music Of My Mind
Moogtastic!

6) Beastie Boys – Licensed To Ill
Just listen to see why we should all use more 808. The most energetic album i own too.

7) Marvin Gaye – I Want You
Nothing needs to be said.

8) Berger / Hodge / Moufang / Ruit – Conjoint 
Moufang’ best work in my opinion. I think i must have sold 50 of these on recommendation.

9) Miles Davis – In A Silent Way
I can just imagine his meeting with the record company…”Herbie on keys…oh, i think i need chic as well….er…did i mention i think you should pay for Joe Zawinul in case we need a bit more?”

10) Bill Evans – Symbiosis
A genius journey from start to finish
