20 Greatest Electronic Music Albums Of All Time

6. Aphex Twin - Syro

It might seem like jumping the gun to include the latest long-awaited album from Aphex Twin on a list of the best electronic music albums of all time, and there's a case to be made for waiting a while and judging an album after the passage of time before deciding its legacy to music history. But since Syro was the most hotly anticipated album of 2014 and thankfully delivered the goods and then some it deserves a spot on the list. Aphex Twin's influence on electronic music cannot be understated - Richard D. James has done more to progress the possibilities of the medium than anyone else, and Syro can be seen as a user-friendly summation of just what makes his music so special. Everything from acid house to jungle gets a look-in but really Aphex transcends the genres he toys with. If you're looking for a masterful album from a producer at the top of his game, Syro is the one.
