personally, i think everything by monolake is pretty good. if i had to
suggest one to start with, i'd probably go with "interstate". all of their
albums are widely available, you just might have to order them if you're
local record store can't or won't.

one thing: the c.r. stuff tends to sound VERY similar. there is a
compilation called "chain reaction compiled", so i guess that would be the
most diverse, but don't be suprised if it all blends together to sound like
one artist's album.
for basic channel, there is no "album" per se. there is only a compilation
cd, which doesn't have all the tracks from the 12"s. the cd is recommended,
and i, for one, tend to like it more than most c.r. stuff....still, if you
can get the 12"s....there are nine of them.
other than that, i would highly suggest purchasing the MAURIZIO cd, which is
basically the same guys who were behind a lot of the b.c. stuff, only here
they're doing a more house influenced sound...actually, it's basically the
blue print for all of the minimal/dub tech house that's so popular these
days.
