My current obsession is 386DX.
There's a sneaky preview available, some free 128k mpthrees directly from the author.
I bet you'll like the concept and especially the line-up:

Quote

Performed by 386 DX / 4Mb RAM / EGA / 40 Mb HD
Synchronized text-to-speech and midi synthesis
...
not only you can listen to the tunes but also reconstruct 386 DX on your PC by booting it from the cd (for owners of Creative ISA soundcards!)

I can't justify naming just my 5 favourite albums so I will name my five favourite playlists instead (and the albums contained in them)

In no order

1. Manic Street Preachers - All Songs (Generation Terrorists, Gold Against The Soul, The Holy Bible, Anything written by Ritchie on Everything Must Go and a few singles)
2. The Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation
3. Aphex Twin - Drukqs
4. Atari Teenage Riot - All Songs (60 Second Wipeout & Live in Philadelphia 1997, Live at the Brixton Academy 1999 and Redefine The Enemy)
5. A selection of John Williams stuff, with all the star wars music in there

All of them ogg vorbis at q3. I have the the albums stored safely if I want higher quality.

Honourable Mentions

I think I'll post my current favourites, too. (Seems like I was a little over-excited with Dire Straits when I first posted in this thread )

In no particular order:

Dire Straits - [1991] - On Every Street
Eagles - [1994] - Hell Freezes Over
Pink Floyd - [1988] - Delicate Sound Of Thunder - Live
Eagles - [1976] - Hotel California

I can't decide what else to choose... certainly one of these:

Dire Straits - [1985] - Brothers In Arms
Pink Floyd - [1987] - A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
Bruce Springsteen - [1987] - Tunnel Of Love
Mark Knopfler - [1983] - Local Hero Soundtrack

That still looks a little... "limited" or "restricted"... oh well. There's more good music to discover all the time.

For me, it would be (in no particular order)
1.- David Bowie "Low"
2.- The Chemical Brothers "Surrender"
3.- The Flaming Lips "The Soft Bulletin"
4.- Radiohead "Kid A"
5.- Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here"

Those are, hmm, "international" artists. You know, pretty much known by everybody on this forum (and the world!). But my favorite albums in my language (spanish) are:

1.- Gustavo Cerati "Bocanada"
2.- Cafe Tacvba "Yo soy"
3.- Los Tres "La espada y la pared"
4.- Charly Garcia "MTV Unplugged"
5.- Zurdok "Hombre sintetizador"

There you go. Of course, just five CDs each is just too cruel.

My faves are boring, yet notable electronic music:

Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole
Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman
Aphex Twin - ...I Care Because You Do...
BT - Movement in Still Life
Basement Jaxx - Rooty

Those are my faves off the top of my head, anyhow. I've likely overlooked something. Each is incredibly cohesive as an album, each in a unique way.

Aphex Twin : I Care Because You Do
-- when I first bought this, I took it back to the shop in disgust. My, I've changed

William 0rbit : Pieces in a Modern Style
-- Needs no introduction.

Autechre : Incunabula
-- An atmosphere totally unmatchable. Seems to summize life.

Another Late Night : Fila Brazilia
-- Listened to on so many drives home from amazing nights, amazing weekends, life changing events... Pinnacle of ahem, 'chill out'

Aphex Twin : 26 Mixes for Cash
-- RAR! All those good mixes that you could previously only get as a 128kbps Xing MP3. Brilliant, and why hadnt anyone heard of his mix of Nine Inch Nails before now? Superlative.
