Recommend essential albums

I'm looking for mostly Electronic music but you can recommend anything awesome from that time period.

what for? you looking for a particular sound, feel, or what is it?

i think he means the UR stuff

Any amazing electronic stuff, I have most of the Artificial Intelligence releases. I haven't checked out much Underground Resistance stuff.

I was just looking through my library and noticed that between those years I'm lacking some music.

Anything like Seefeel, Drexciya, Bochum Welt, or stuff on the AI comp releases. Anything like SAW 1 ect.

Most of my music collection from 1990-1994 is hip hop.

Psyche / BFC - Elements 1989-1990

Unit Moebius - The Golden Years

Derrick May - Innovator

The Advent - Elements Of Life

Joey Beltram - The Beltram Re-Releases 1989-1991/Aonox

Robert Hood - Internal Empire/Minimal Nation

Black Dog Productions - Bytes

B12 - Electro-Soma

Pod - The Vanguard

And I believe PIG - The Swining/Red Raw and Sore were recorded in that era, but I'm not positive. I do know it was re-released in '98 as one album, instead of two separate ep's.

everything on sabres of paradise records.

Stars Of The Lid - Music For Nitrous Oxide

Yes I do, but ahem, I was looking to add to my digital collection. So my discogs wouldn't be much help.
