1987 to 1993. Your "electronica" recommendations!

[watmmisdead]

hey everyone

I have been solely listening to old music for a while now and became quite fascinated by just how fast electronica when from being total garbage to quite nice, from 1985 up to 1993. 

just thought id open a thread about this subject to hear what some of you guys have to say.

feel free to recommend or post music from that "early" era.

 

heres a great track that i had missed:

lol, just realized this is a 1994 track.

Spoiler

I started my own cover of this over three weeks ago but haven't finished it yet. Also I wanna thank my brother for identifying this piece when I was trying to pinpoint it.

It did in the UK, early-to-mid 80s, but wasn't used widely.  Check the label on this one, for a while I've wondered if that was an Aphex namecheck (rather than just a reference to the BASIC programming language):

And this is only a small section of those years, and just focused on jungle and breakbeat hardcore

Nice thread. Souvlaki is a 93-album btw. What I listened to in that actual period, that's still good.
