actually who am I kidding:
Portishead Dummy (Go! Discs)Massive Attack Protection (Circa)Orbital Snivilisation (Internal)Tricky Ponderosa (Island)
one of these

Snivilisation or Regulate probly but it's not fair to start threads like this in the non-SB era

Stereolab or Kristin Hersh is my impossible choice (though I swear Hips and Makers came out earlier, given where I did most of my listening to it?)

It's hard to answer, though, what I liked *then* vs stuff that had stood the test of 15+ years of time in the interim. Coz I loved that Trans-Global Underground record in 1994, but not sure I'd ever dig it out again. (And seriously, what on earth was Parklife doing on ~The Wire's~ best of list? That's p embarrassing.)

ts: jeru the damaja vs fun 'da' mental?. what did roni size sound like in 94? is that mu-ziq album any good?
i love laika album, mouse on mars, plastikman, and AMM is all-time.
Jan Garbarek/The Hilliard Ensemble BOfficium (ECM)^think i would probably *not like* this^

Roni Size in 1994 sounded like this:

I listened to so much ~shit~ in 1994 and missed out on so much interesting stuff. It makes me wonder what I'm missing out on today.

4 Hero, obviously. The synths on that album sound a bit dated now, but the breakbeats are still awesome even in 2011.

Mouse on Mars vs Stereolab vs Plastikman, though I hadn't heard the Paul Schütze before this thread and now I've checked it out I'm interested to hear more of his work.
Probably have to vote Stereolab as it was pretty much my favourite album for so long, but will be sad if Vulvaland gets no votes.
― brony island baby (case spudette), Wednesday, 14 December 2011 22:38 (twelve years ago) link
(ok, I clicked on Mars Audiac Quintet but I just couldn't do it, voted for Vulvaland, sorry Stereolab)

btw how many singles are on this 'albums' list? it looks so weird seeing individual songs by Craig Mack and Tricky on here.

oops I forgot to vote. Stereolab should be tied with the Buckster.
― Thomosexual II (Fotherington Thomas), Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:05 (twelve years ago) link
hey Lamp & mookie you seem to like Laika, you guys listen much to Moonshake? I was just playing Eva Luna and, man, I've had that album for about 15 years and it still just keeps getting better and better...

made the right choice in not letting Mouse on Mars have 0 votes, but the wrong choice in giving Stereolab fewer votes than Jeff fuckin' Buckley
― brony island baby (case spudette), Thursday, 15 December 2011 11:46 (twelve years ago) link
Would have voted 4hero. Might have been Plastikman but I can't forgive Hawtin the last 10 years.

I know you weren't talking to me, 'henrietta', but I like Moonshake.

i saw Laika supporting the young gods in 1995
― Minga Frump (Jimmy Riddle), Thursday, 15 December 2011 13:36 (twelve years ago) link
I liked Laika and was totes excited when I found the Moonshake album in a sale bin when I'd heard it was OOP ~RARE~ A+++ STEREOLAB LAIKA etc and didn't really care for it. But then I've probably only listened to it twice so if it's such a grower I should really dig it back out.
(And if it isn't then I shall take it to eBay and OOP ~RARE~ A+++ STEREOLAB LAIKA it up, but it doesn't look particularly rare from Amazon marketplace)
― brony island baby (case spudette), Thursday, 15 December 2011 13:38 (twelve years ago) link
Well, there's a bunch of Moonshake stuff that sounds nothing like Laika or Stereolab, so if you were expecting that I can see you being disappointed. There is also stuff where you can see the lineage, though, so... Hm.
― Illia Rump (emil.y), Thursday, 15 December 2011 13:45 (twelve years ago) link
will totally dig it back out! If I can find it. I had already felt that I might have been a little too unkind to it, probably because of misleading expectations, as you say.
― brony island baby (case spudette), Thursday, 15 December 2011 13:55 (twelve years ago) link
emil.y otm; Eva Luna has some songs on it that I imagine sound like what Laika will become, but there's also some awesome brain-splitting noise rock and some PiL dread punk-dub filtered through a more prog/sound-collage sensibility

This was the first Moonshake track I heard:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxlH4WNSdF0
Though discogs doesn't seem to list it as part of Eva Luna, when I thought it was.
But then you have something like Two Trains, which is totally different.
― Illia Rump (emil.y), Thursday, 15 December 2011 14:38 (twelve years ago) link
Secondhand Clothes is totally on the version of Eva Luna that I have; which is I think the Matador Records reissue. It has that whole EP
― he said "grody" (henrietta lacks), Thursday, 15 December 2011 14:55 (twelve years ago) link
um OK that Two Trains song is amazing; is that what Laika sounds like? I figured it was more in the "Bleach & Salt Water"/"Little Thing" vein

I remember Laika as being a bit more mellow than 'Two Trains' and its frenetic (almost d'n'b?) rhythms, but yeah, that's definitely the side of Moonshake that pointed towards Laika's output.
