1	Oxygene (1977) more music like this by Jean Michel Jarre Jean Michel Jarre, son of film composer Maurice Jarre, is one of the true pioneers of electronic music. Oxygene is one of the original e-music albums. It has withstood the test of time and the evolution of digital electronica. Jarre's compositional style and his rhythmic instincts were his strong points in 1976. While his popularity has ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $9.56!
2	Speak for Yourself (2005) more music like this by Imogen Heap The U.S. debut solo album by Frou Frou vocalist Imogen Heap is a captivating record that fuses innovative electronic soundscapes with a strong female voice. If "Goodnight and Go" -- a lilting, pulsating, and hit-ready concoction -- and the alluring, synthesized pop of "Hide and Seek" are the most direct numbers, experimental numbers like the ... see all copies from $11.22! new only from $11.22!
3	Autobahn (1974) more music like this by Kraftwerk Although Kraftwerk's first three albums were groundbreaking in their own right, Autobahn is where the group's hypnotic electronic pulse genuinely came into its own. The main difference between Autobahn and its predecessors is how it develops an insistent, propulsive pulse that makes the repeated rhythms and riffs of the shimmering electronic ... see all copies from $17.00! new only from $22.87!
4	Another Green World (1975) more music like this by Eno A universally acknowledged masterpiece, Another Green World represents a departure from song structure and toward a more ethereal, minimalistic approach to sound. Despite the stripped-down arrangements, the album's sumptuous tone quality reflects Eno's growing virtuosity at handling the recording studio as an instrument in itself (à la Brian ... see all copies from $6.97! new only from $11.64!
5	Switched-On Bach II (2001) more music like this by Wendy Carlos see all copies from $10.00! new only from $14.95!
6	Songs in the Key of X: Music from and Inspired by 'the X-Files' (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This album purports to be an attempt at recursion by the creator of The X-Files, Chris Carter -- songs inspired by the show that he hopes will provide further inspiration for the show (just as Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" did for the "Ascension" episode.) Contributions here include Mark Snow, with the title music, the Foo Fighters with a grand ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.00!
7	Letting Go of Stress (1994) more music like this by Subliminal Series / Letting Go of Stress see all copies from $10.68! new only from $14.57!
8	Inner Peace (1994) more music like this by Steven Halpern Inner Peace is a gentle new age CD with space music and ambient overtones. Steven Halpern is an expert sound designer and he is able to work in many different new age styles. His primary styles are healing and meditation. When he approaches those styles from an ambient minimalist direction, the atmospheres take on space music characteristics. This ... see all copies from $10.67! new only from $14.19!
9	Ambient 1: Music for Airports (1978) more music like this by Brian Eno Four subtle, slowly evolving pieces grace Eno's first conscious effort at creating ambient music. The composer was in part striving to create music that approximated the effect of visual art. Like a fine painting, these evolving soundscapes don't require constant involvement on the part of the listener. They can hang in the background and add to ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
10	Sleep Soundly (1994) more music like this by Steven Halpern see all copies from $11.64! new only from $11.64!
11 view cover	A Clockwork Orange (1972) more music like this by Wendy Carlos Even before Carlos knew of a film project concerning A Clockwork Orange, the composer had begun work on a composition (Timesteps) based on the book. It's the best piece of music in the score (and one of the most famed in the early history of electronic music), fitting in well next to late-'60s minimalist works by Terry Riley as well as the ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $12.69!
12 view cover	Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks (1983) more music like this by Brian Eno An exquisite experiment, Apollo takes Brian Eno's spacescapes from albums like Another Green World and arranges them with some heavenly pedal steel guitar by Daniel Lanois. The recording engulfs the listener and captures the feel of space travel, weightlessness, and other sensations vividly. It's also perhaps Eno's warmest record ever. In the end, ... see all copies from $9.49! new only from $14.78!
13 view cover	Earth Blue (2004) more music like this by Deuter First appearing at the dawn of the German progressive music scene that would eventually be dubbed Krautrock, but quickly moving off into a more ethereal realm along the lines of Brian Eno, Jon Hassell, and Harold Budd, Deuter makes the sort of instrumental albums that one could cynically claim all sound alike, but a closer listen reveals subtle ... see all copies from $14.50! new only from $15.76!
14 view cover	Chakra Suite (2001) more music like this by Steven Halpern Chakra Suite is a reworking of Steven Halpern's debut CD, Spectrum Suite. He has added an ethereal texture to the original set to create an absolutely chilling effect. Halpern has a lot of people fooled; they try to write him off as new age fluff and a Muzak maker. Indeed, some of his more lightweight stuff deserves the brush-off. But when he's on ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $7.99!
15 view cover	Trans-Europe Express (1977) more music like this by Kraftwerk Although Autobahn was a left-field masterpiece, Trans-Europe Express is often cited as perhaps the archetypal (and most accessible) Kraftwerk album. Melodic themes are repeated often and occasionally interwoven over deliberate, chugging beats, sometimes with manipulated vocals; the effect is mechanical yet hypnotic. Thematically, the record feels ... see all copies from $8.80! new only from $10.50!
16 view cover	Phaedra (1974) more music like this by Tangerine Dream Phaedra is one of the most important, artistic, and exciting works in the history of electronic music, a brilliant and compelling summation of Tangerine Dream's early avant-space direction balanced with the synthesizer/sequencer technology just beginning to gain a foothold in nonacademic circles. The result is best heard on the 15-minute title ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $11.13!
17 view cover	Stratosfear (1976) more music like this by Tangerine Dream Stratosfear, the last Tangerine Dream album by the great Baumann/Franke/Froese threesome, shows the group's desire to advance past their stellar recent material and stake out a new musical direction while others were still attempting to come to grips with Phaedra and Rubycon. The album accomplishes its mission with the addition of guitar (six- and ... see all copies from $7.24! new only from $10.79!
18 view cover	Rubycon (1975) more music like this by Tangerine Dream The members of Tangerine Dream continued to hone their craft as pioneers of the early days of electronica, and the mid-'70s proved to be a time of prosperity and musical growth for the trio of Chris Franke, early member Peter Baumann, and permanent frontman Edgar Froese. The three of them had been delivering mysterious space records on a regular ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $11.13!
19 view cover	East of the Full Moon (2005) more music like this by Deuter see all copies from $14.57! new only from $14.57!
20 view cover	Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror (1980) more music like this by Harold Budd & Brian Eno The second in Brian Eno's ambient series, The Plateaux of Mirrors fuses the fragile piano melodies of Harold Budd and the atmospheric electronics of Eno to create a lovely, evocative work. In sharp contrast to the exaggerated pieces found on his debut, The Pavilion of Dreams, this record finds Budd delivering sharp shards of piano notes pregnant ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
21 view cover	Sun Spirit (2000) more music like this by Deuter see all copies from $8.90! new only from $14.57!
22 view cover	Sound Medicine: Music for Healing (2002) more music like this by Steven Halpern see all copies from $8.16! new only from $8.16!
23 view cover	The Saint [Original Soundtrack] (1997) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to the silly Val Kilmer action movie The Saint was a surprisingly effective and useful collection of electronica, offering a good overview and introduction to many of the genre's biggest artists. Orbital's icy, attractive reworking of "The Saint Theme," Daft Punk's pulsating "Da Funk," Underworld's "Pearl's Girl," and Sneaker Pimps' ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.78!
24 view cover	The War of the Worlds [2005 Bonus Track] (2005) more music like this by Jeff Wayne Released 40 years after Orson Welles' infamous radio version of the H.G. Wells tale, Jeff Wayne's musical version of War of the Worlds straddles old-style radio drama and contemporary orchestrated narratives by Rick Wakeman and David Bedford. And while it lacks the sophisticated arrangements of, say, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, it does ... see all copies from $21.78! new only from $22.14!
25 view cover	Thursday Afternoon (1985) more music like this by Brian Eno The soundtrack to a VHS cassette of Christine Alicino's "video paintings" (which can be viewed properly only when the monitor is stood on its side), Thursday Afternoon is an hour-long, uninterrupted ambient piece created in Eno's "holographic" compositional style, in which even the most brief snippet of music is representative of the performance ... see all copies from $7.97! new only from $15.11!
