MBV - loveless
Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity
kid 606 - down with the Scene (2000 but kind of 90s right?)
Oval - 94 Diskont

I'd been thinking about Oval since I posted my list. If I was doing a list of most important, most significant, most innovative or something I'd definitely put something by them on there. Probably 'Systemisch' though.

Yeah Systemich is good but Do While is one of my favorite ambient/do homework/drone out songs so I gotta reprezent. I would have but Ovalcommers cause I think thats one of their best but that was released to late to be relevant. Though I haven't heard their whole library I can't really think of anything that isn't completely rad.
Praeserpium Machinarum:
--- Quote ---I reckon one of the key things about how both dance and hip-hop is generally consumed is it's not album-oriented music. It's about 12"s, remixes of other people, DJ mixes, nights out (where you don't know whose music you were listening to, just which DJ was playing it) etc. There are some albums that are considered classics, of course, but I think moreso than with rock people don't think of the album itself as a work, just a bunch of tracks. If asked about the great moments of Detroit techno or something most people would talk about singles.

So, in that way you could say that it is reminiscent of back before album-rock, with Shangri-las and whatnot.
The anachcronistic vehicle of music in the future if you are to believe that pitchfork guy.
Personally I like the album which makes sense if you look at my cd collection.
It is mostly rock or rock-related with a patch of noise/ambient. The kind of albums where the songs usually don't work out of context.
Maybe we should make a top 5 singles in the 90's thread to be fair to hiphop and dance et al.
