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.
