Sorry, I couldn't stick to 5, and these are in no particular order. I basically consider all of these innovative, groundbreaking, or just head plain better than anything in the genre at the time.. No time for explanation KLF: Chill Out Orb: Adventures Beyond The Ultra World Monkey Mafia: Shoot The Boss - still nothing else has even come close in dancehall Lionrock: An Instict For Dectection Chemical Brothers: Exit Planet Dust Underworld: Dubnobasswithmyheadman Daft Punk: Homework Black Science Orchestra: Walters Room Kruder & Dorfmeister: K&D Sessions Air: Moon Safari Prodigy: Experience

1) The KLF - Chill Out. Not because it's KLF but the fact that it's one of the first Ambient classics ever. And it still rocks.
2)DJ Latintin - Vocal and Tribal sessions (promo). Geez, I dig that funky latin house. Works great when the g/f comes over...
3)Kruder&Dorfmeister - K&D sessions. Doesn't mind which one you take, they've got an absolute chill factor! Scale 1-10? 36 atleast.
4)The Orb - U.F. Orb. This one takes KLF's chill out one step further.
5)Essential Underground vol.4 mixed by Miss Yetti. Bought this cd recently. It's not that fast techno but really dark techno. Slow technobeats and it contains some really sinister sounds... More for the dark minded among us ;)
Nevertheless there are lots of other fine compilations but it would take a while to describe them all. I think a top 5 should represent your general taste of music nowadays.

I always love these tough questions... I'm just gonna assume KLF and put the other stuff. Snog: Remote Control Front 242 Up Evil/Evil Off (they came out simultaneously almost) Jean-Michel Jarre Redezvous (this was actually played on MTV a lot after the space shuttle Challenger exploded because one of the astronauts played on the album and they were going to perform it with him playing from outer space, I've loved it since I was 10 or 11 yrs old) Orb: Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld (the one-disc version) KMFDM: Angst Narrowing it down to five is such a chore...hehe. Jeremiah
I thought I could add my two cents as well: Messiah - 21st Century Jesus Nice oldschool rave with a lot of samples taken from different movies. Altogether it's another great piece of sampling work. And it's that kind of music that simply makes you move to. Utah Saints - Utah Saints Their first album still rules. Echoed vocals and sampled crowd noise remind of stadium house music. I guess it's a must for a KLF fan. Laibach - Jesus Christ Superstar Nice mixture of synths, aggressive guitars and big sounding choirs and orchestras. Most of Laibach's songs are covers of older songs. I guess the most popular one is "opus dei" which is a cover of Opus' "Live is live". Ok, these were only three ones but all other good albums have been mentioned by others before. kubi
so. my personal top 5 1 ] the KLF - the white room it is no joke. this was the very first cd i bought, back in 1990. and when i want to get home i listen to this late at night in bed. :] and of course, it's got that beautyful white cover! 2 ] autechre - incunabula . amber . garbage ep 3 CDs of autechre. this one's are so great! so delicious. melodies that explore the very unknown. this tracks stay with me when i explore the city at night. the last track on the garbage ep is so simple, but yet so great! 3] opal2000 - between moderns well, sure, that is a track of mine, but i discovered in this piece of music a very hidden place of my soul. to all the people who love the modern architecture of the 60 + 70ies. http://www.2063music.de/63mp3/63_029-opal2000-between_moderns.mp3 4] björk - vespertine all of björks albums are great. but in verspertine she got to a point, where everythings seems to fit so perfectly. the music is so light (i love the artwork with all the white). the lyrics are just so for very humans. listen to undo, it's not up to you and aurora. that track "unison" guided me through the confusing times when the world trade center was destoyed. i was very confused and listend to it one week or more. very intense! 5] autechre - ep7 it's a more abstract album of autechre. the cover is like björks verspertine very white with some black lines. and the music is white, too. abstract and cool. to all the people who like science fiction movies and stuff: listen to this album. maybe it wil take some time to understand it, but it's worth it! to all the people in germany: i very love the space night on BR (bayrischer rundfunk). PS: anyone here who loves white cover artwors just like me? plese answer me! let's do things together! had fun writing this mail :) o2023 (the very same as opal2000 and 020200) ================ the secrets of gaia http://www.2063music.de ==========================

Great idea! Are there any other novel trilogies that people haven't read, but would like to take to task for their fictional status? I think that there Lord Of The Rings is a heap of nonsense and all, and I skipped over half the second book.
Now what was that huge book that was full of good advices that never work in real life...? Ah yes, the Holy Bible. I think that the story of Iluminatus gets more and more strange as you read on, but I really love the style it is written. Jumping from one place to another, from one time to another, just in one sentence without forewarning. Of course, most of the text itself is bull, and Wilson and Shea even admit this in the last part of the book. Someday, someone´s got to take all the parts and chapters and bring them in the right order. cy@ Thomas

I read the first 23 or so of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books, but gave up after that as he was still continuing with the ridiculous premise that the world is flat. I'm a patient man, but even Velikovsky would laugh at Pratchett's ideas! -- "The most costly of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind." - H.L. Mencken

Well - I´m sure, you realized, that the Discworld books are supposed to be funny, and that YOU are supposed to have fun with them - not to learn serious, philosophical stuff from them. By the way - Illuminatus, okay, that has a KLF connection. But Lord of the Rings? Terry Pratchett? Isn´t that a bit offtopic?

well. it's no secret that illuminatus isn't easy to read. when i read the illumiatus it seems that is doenst make any diffrence if you read that book in the "right" direction or if you turm up any page and read along in a chaotic order. it doesnt make any diffrence. of course, the book learned anythig to me. i think that theese books have to be written this way. but however this books ARE FULL OF CRAP! (and they have to!) cheers martin
Well, whatever you say about these books, I think that the ideas that are presented are just wonderful. Of course, they are insane (or are they...?), but it is just marvellous to read how nearly ALL historical events are connected with each other. Being a historical student I enjoy reading such scientific games. Robert Wilson und Robert Shea are very capable of writing about history. I´ve got a great book that is written by Shea and called "All Things are Lights". This takes place in medieval France and there is even a hint of Illuminatus! in it. The hero of the story is helped by some mysterious knight from a mysterious order (the Illuminati?). But whatever you say... the Illuminatus! Trilogy is a tough read and I may have spoiled myself because I´ve read it when I was fifteen. Perhaps I wasn´t ready for that stuff at that age...

I´ve read them and can´t say that I understood much But here in Germany there was one guy who was part of the "Chaos Computer Club" (an anarchic club of computer hackers). He became paranoid after reading the Illuminatus trilogy and saw governmental conspiracies everywhere. He even thought there were agents after him. In the end he committed suicide (some people believe he GOT killed, though) because of his paranoia. There even is a German movie about that guy. The movie is called "23". Neat, eh?

There's a card on R.A. Wilson's desk that says: "If you think you know what the hell is going on, you're probably full of shit." Which sort of sums up "Illuminatus!"

People say LSD can have the same effect. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it though ;)

hmm, interesting, do you know if it's only available in German? here's the IMDB entry... http://us.imdb.com/Title?0126765 -- "'Tis an ill wind that blows no minds." - Mal2

A friend of mine's got the film on DVD, maybe there is the english audio on it, too. But I'd predict a 'no'... :( Apart from that I think that the movie's great. And cool. And totally weird... At least it's a true story. :) Dan --- a.k.a. Kuta, KLF Online (www.klf.de)

They're scifi comedy, whaddya want, an answer to life, the universe and everything? Try hitchhikers instead! :) -- "They didn't know what the symbols and paradoxes meant.
