1	The Garden (2006) more music like this by Zero 7 In Zero 7's last album, When It Falls, there were more than noticeable hints that the band was taking the idea of a pop song a lot more seriously, which should then make it unsurprising that with Garden they've stepped even further in that direction, all but leaving their downbeat roots behind. Instead of being what the music is based around, the ... see all copies from $12.51! new only from $13.95!
2	Treasure (1984) more music like this by Cocteau Twins The opening two numbers of Treasure are simply flawless, starting with "Ivo," where gently strummed guitar and low bass support Fraser's singing; then suddenly added, astonishing chimes and steady percussion build up to a jaw-dropping Guthrie guitar solo. Topping that would be hard for anyone, but in "Lorelei," the Twins do it, with an ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $10.76!
3	Pocket Symphony (2007) more music like this by Air Ever since Moon Safari was hailed as an instant classic, Air have swung back and forth between the experimental and accessible sides that Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel united so perfectly on their debut. 10,000 Hz Legend might have been too grandiose and aggressively experimental for some Air fans, but Talkie Walkie sometimes felt as if ... see all copies from $4.27! new only from $15.41!
4	Voyageur (2003) more music like this by Enigma Michael Crétu's formula of weaving old and new world sounds through new age atmospherics and dance rhythms has resulted in four Enigma discs that have straddled the line between brilliance and self-indulgence. The plodding bombast of 2000's The Screen Behind the Mirror seemed to signal that Enigma had stretched itself to a point where an explosion ... see all copies from $3.94! new only from $10.39!
5	Premiers Symptomes (1999) more music like this by Air It's usually just the collectors and obsessed fans that contend a band's first few singles are really their best work, far better than the material that ends up on their first album. With the French band Air, the collectors may just be right for once. Premiers Symptomes, a five-track EP boosted up to seven tracks for its eventual American issue on ... see all copies from $6.15! new only from $8.15!
6	Chimera (2003) more music like this by Delerium see all copies from $7.49! new only from $9.87!
7	Angel Milk (2005) more music like this by Télépopmusik Télépopmusik's sophomore effort is filled with beautiful backing tracks. Pillows of soft synth slowly emerge while pianos, harps, brass instruments, electronic ticks, and glitches stroll in and out of the picture as they please. This subdued electronica landscape is something to get lost in, and while it's nothing you haven't heard before, it's ... see all copies from $11.87! new only from $16.11!
8	Almost Human (2000) more music like this by Voltaire see all copies from $12.56! new only from $14.19!
9	Stars and Topsoil: A Collection 1982-1990 (2000) more music like this by Cocteau Twins Stars and Topsoil collects some of the Cocteau Twins' better-known 4AD material, which ends at 1990, before their departure to Fontana in the U.K. and Capitol in the U.S. Outside of college radio support and some late-night MTV rotation, the Cocteaus were basically invisible and unheard of in the U.S.; in the U.K., they were a higher profile act, ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
10	Quiet Letters: U.S. Edition (2005) more music like this by Bliss see all copies from $15.12! new only from $15.12!
11 view cover	Moon Safari (1998) more music like this by Air Although electronica had its fair share of chillout classics prior to the debut of Air, the lion's share were either stark techno (Warp) or sample-laden trip-hop (Mo' Wax). But while Air had certainly bought records and gear based on the artists that had influenced them, they didn't just regurgitate (or sample) them; they learned from them, ... see all copies from $8.45! new only from $13.45!
12 view cover	Blue Bell Knoll (1988) more music like this by Cocteau Twins The first Cocteaus album to feature a full-band lineup since Treasure was also their first full studio record released in America, resulting from the group's stateside deal with Capitol. Much to longtime fans' surprise, the Twins in fact were much more content with Capitol than 4AD, hinting at their eventual full departure from that label. This ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $10.76!
13 view cover	Heaven or Las Vegas (1990) more music like this by Cocteau Twins Deciding to scale back the overly pretty sound on Blue Bell Knoll while experimenting with more accessibility -- -- the Twins ended up creating their best album since Treasure. From the start, Heaven... is simply fantastic: on "Cherry-Coloured Funk," Guthrie's inimitable guitar work chimes leading a low-key but forceful rhythm, while Raymonde's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
14 view cover	The Moon and the Melodies (1986) more music like this by Budd/Raymonde/Guthrie/Fraser The Moon and the Melodies is a collaboration between the Cocteau Twins and keyboardist/composer Harold Budd that fits soundly between the stylistic signatures of the two, both of whom make organic music that relies heavily on electronics. Budd's use of spacious treated piano and keyboard sounds (influenced by a previous collaborator, Brian Eno) ... see all copies from $4.36! new only from $10.76!
15 view cover	Head Over Heels (1983) more music like this by Cocteau Twins Losing original member Heggie might at first have seemed a troubling blow, but in fact it allowed the duo of Fraser and Guthrie to transcend the darkened one-note gloom of Garlands with Head Over Heels. The album introduces a variety of different shadings and approaches to the incipient Cocteaus sound, pointing the band towards the exultant, ... see all copies from $3.53! new only from $8.45!
16 view cover	Talkie Walkie (2004) more music like this by Air Artistic development doesn't always improve an artist's work, as the members of Air discovered when their second album, 2001's 10,000 Hz Legend, disappointed fans and critics expecting another pop masterpiece to rank with their debut, Moon Safari. 10,000 Hz Legend buried the duo's clear melodic sense underneath an avalanche of rigid performances, ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $16.11!
17 view cover	Genetic World (2002) more music like this by Télépopmusik This debut outing by French techno craftsmen Fabrice Dumont, Stephan Haeri, and Christophe Hetier is a lounge lizard's idea of heaven. Among the many intriguing elements stitched between the subtle dance beats are sultry female spoken-word snippets and seductive melodies provided by Peaches and Chilly Gonzales and gravel-voiced Scottish chanteuse ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $15.41!
18 view cover	Cool World [Original Soundtrack] (1992) more music like this by Original Soundtrack An above-average soundtrack to a mediocre film, this dance-oriented album hits more than it misses. The title track by David Bowie is fluff by his standards, but as it's produced by Nile Rodgers (a year before their collaboration on Black Tie White Noise), it's danceable fluff. Further in, the album samples the beginnings of the '90s techno ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.00!
19 view cover	Poem (2001) more music like this by Delerium Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber are perfectionists when it comes to their individual musical spirituality. Gothic contexts hitting upon an almost pseudo-intellectual stance is typical Delerium. Alas, it is interesting and deeply alluring in the sense of composing unique artistic dance music. This Mortal Coil aimed for such emotion and, unlike its other ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $13.81!
20 view cover	10,000 Hz Legend (2001) more music like this by Air Eager to prove their songwriting smarts and knowledge of traditionalist pop on their sophomore work, French band Air pulled back slightly from the milky synth pop of their 1998 debut, Moon Safari. 10,000 Hz Legend is a darker work, just as contemplative and unhurried as its predecessor, but part of a gradual move from drifting, almost pastoral ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $5.49!
21 view cover	Svefn-G-Englar (1999) more music like this by Sigur Rós The first U.K. release for Iceland's Sigur Rós is a stunning, self-contained EP of epic aspirations shot through with over a half-hour of funereal, taunting excellence. Two studio cuts from the superb Ágætis Byrjun make up half the release -- the gasping, virtuous sighs of "Svefn-G-Englar," the sub-zero buildup of "Viðar Vel Til Loftárása" -- but ... see all copies from $6.80! new only from $8.56!
22 view cover	Victorialand (1986) more music like this by Cocteau Twins With Raymonde taking a break to work on the second This Mortal Coil album, Fraser and Guthrie made up the Cocteaus for the first full-length follow-up to Treasure. Rather than trying for a full-band approach, Fraser and Guthrie instead created a much more simply beautiful effort, with a relaxed air to it. Rhythms are subtler, with bass and drum ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $10.76!
23 view cover	Darkel (2006) more music like this by Darkel While Jean-Benoît Dunckel and his Air partner, Nicolas Godin, worked on Charlotte Gainsbourg's album 5:55 by day, at night he recorded his first solo album under the name Darkel (inspired by when he recorded it and the fact that his last name means "dark" in German). Darkel doesn't differ greatly from his work with Air -- it's got the same mix of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.41!
24 view cover	Margerine Eclipse (2004) more music like this by Stereolab Stereolab's music is so consistent, and so consistently pretty, that it has become nearly criticism-proof; the band do what they do so completely that it's almost a matter of accepting or rejecting their music whole instead of analyzing it. But while Stereolab's mix of '50s and '60s lounge, vintage electronic music, and Krautrock may have crossed ... see all copies from $3.79! new only from $7.28!
25 view cover	Forever Alien (1997) more music like this by Spectrum The last Spectrum album proper for a number of years, and one of Sonic's last open dips into pop structure for the rest of the 1990s, Forever Alien continues what Songs for Owsley had already indicated -- a keyboard-dominant set of songs, with Sonic merrily using and abusing the heck out of a series of old synths. Theremins and vocoders crop up as ... see all copies from $12.33! new only from $14.69!
