”timeless” electronic music?

[mrmatthew]

So what "electronic" albums do you think have a timeless quality about them?more so than probably any other genre, 'electronic' music seems to be very beholden to the technology on which it was created and therefore is always seems alot easier to place in terms of time-period. i think that tends to 'date' electronic music more so than other forms so im asking which 'electronic' albums still sound good today.And by 'electronic' i mean disco, industrial, new wave, techno, house, d&b, downtempo and all off-shoots, etc. Rap music is NOT included.

I'd no idea what JNCO meant, I googled it. I still don't know what, if anything, it has to do with Goldie.

Is that what some corny assed American d'n'b heads were wearing in the 90s?

Lots of these are private mind gardenesque and not really timeless classiques.
