Wow... I see mu-ziq (µ-ziq) mentioned only once. I don't have that many purely electronic albums, but considering those and albums that are chiefly electronic:

Mu-ziq: Tango n Vectif
Mu-Ziq: Lunatic Harness
Legendary Pink Dots: anything 1980-1985, most 1986+
Stereo Total: Musique Automatique ...Please check out some of their tracks at http://www.stereototal.de/music/download_rare.html (I like #5 best.. and on other tracks you may notice some Bardot-isms and Hardy-isms and Gainsborg-isms, among other -isms) ... If you like this at all, then get Musique Automatique .. It's amazingly good electronic pop... oh, and the album has much, much cleaner sound than these MP3s
Pizzicato 5: anything with electronics.. or without!
Babyland: Who's Sorry Now? and Outlive Your Enemies
Fantastic Plastic Machine: Luxury (german press, if possible) and Fantastic Plastic Machine
Ray Lynch: Deep Breakfast
Space Streakings: Nana-Toku
Psychic TV: Pagan Day
Throbbing Gristle: all
Soft Cell: Nonstop Erotic Cabaret

I'd better stop now.

I think this set is a mountain of fun! The selections are often brief for the genre, but enjoyably sequenced. Many are edits of longer pieces. Especially like the lesser known composers, like Maryanne Amacher. And the 90-page book is reasonably well documented, easy to read, and includes plenty of photos, contextual quotes from people like Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Bill Laswell, David Toop, and Iara Lee (director of the film Modulations, a younger take on the history of electronic music), plus a bibliography.

Although it's not my favorite, its worth a recommendation.

Tyrant - Fabric 17 (mixed by Craig Richards)

Even though Lee Burridge is absent here, it is the best Tyrant work yet. Both of these guys have talent but Richards really turns it up a notch here. The sounds he uses are fresh and his transitioning here is a healthy dose of originality. This is a VERY nice mix -- up there with James Zabiela - Reniassance ALiVE.

I like your first and last choices a lot, although I am partial to 'Discreet Music' for Eno.
You should listen to 'Far away trains passing by' by Schnauss if you havent already. I'd say its as good if not better than 'A Strangely Isolated Place'.

Not sure if I posted a recommendation in this thread yet and dont care to look, but after listening to both albums on the way to work today.

for the love of god, listen to microbunny on headphones
[size=xx-small]...especially if you like Eno...[/size]

[both albums are great, I would start with the self titled and then move to dead stars]

EDIT: for clarification the band name is 'microbunny' and not 'microbunny on headphones'
