Does anyone out there agree with me that "Protection" by Massive Attack
is an Intelligent Dance masterpiece? The title track alone is a beautiful
example of how electronic music can be moving and emotionally resonant.
Even the more hiphop influenced tracks are brilliantly evocative and
atmospheric. I would also like to recommend, just as an experimental
oddity from the past, the 1980 solo album by Andy Partridge of XTC. There
are some remarkably ahead-of-their-time tracks on this LP. It may not
necessarily be dance music, but some of it definitely qualifies as
excellent electronic listening music. I believe it is available as a
CD reissue titled "Explode Together - The Dub Experiments" and is
credited to XTC.
