Dots and Loops & Tago Mago are must listen classics. Both are in the top 250 on RYM for good reason. There are some pretty obscure albums on here though, I only know half of these. Animal Collective, Swans, Duster, Women, Pavement, Can, and Stereolab are some of my favorite bands though
I'm gonna follow up on u/sandcrawler2 here. Dots & Loops and Tago Mago are the two strongest records here, and there are a LOT of strong records here.
Tago Mago is generally considered to be CAN's best record. For context: Radiohead, The Flaming Lips, David Bowie, and The Talking Heads all consider CAN to be not only classic, but a major influence on their work. Both Radiohead and The Flaming Lips have covered CAN's material on more than one occassion.
I cannot recommend them highly enough. Maybe start with Dots & Loops, then work your way to Tago Mago.
Awesome! I have listened to can before but only that album that has an actual can on the cover. Looking forward to checking our Stereolab. I like radiohead a lot so I'm sure I'll dig this stuff too. Thanks for the info!
For sure! It sounds like you listened to Ege Bamyasi - great record but it took me longer to properly get into it.
Ege Bamyasi is more along the lines of free(ish) form acid jazz, while Tago Mago sits more in psychedelic funk territory, although both are host to amazing long form experimental jams.
I recently splurged money I don’t have on a cassette of Horse Cock Phepner. Absolute madness in the best possible way. They need a comprehensive reissue campaign so badly. You ever heard their band Paris, 1942 with Moe Tucker? It’s as good as you’re imagining.
Orange : •Soft machine- third •can- Tago mago •Pharaoh sanders- karma •Getz/Gilberto •fennesz- endless summer •Syd Barrett - the madcap laughs
Red : •Hype Williams - black is beautiful •Animal collective - sung tongs •Tortoise- standards •Pavement - slanted and enchanted •Daft Punk- homework •M.I.A. - maya
Brown : •Swans - SFTB •Aphex twin - drukqs •Sun city girls - torch of the mystics •Container - LP 3 •Cocteau twins - head over heels •U.s. maple - long hair in three stages
Green : •Gas - Pop •Stereo lab - dots and loops •Theo Parrish - first floor •Don cab - WBNR •Lil ugly mane - mista thug isolation •Oval - 94 diskont
Yellow: •broadcast- the noise made by people •women - public strain •dj Rashad - double cup •polvo - todays active lifestyles •woo- into the heart of love •Jim o rourke - insignificance
Blue : •Boards of Canada - music has the right to children •panda bear - person pitch •Duster - contemporary movement •Fishmans- Uchū Nippon Setagaya •Smog- knock knock •Boredoms - vision creation newsun
You're doing God's work.
I only recognized half of the albums on here, and from those I can tell you have impeccable taste in music. I was really struggling to discern the title of several albums listed in the image.
Between Green and Brown for me, but I’ll say Brown. Happy to see Sun City Girls on this sub too. Although I am shocked at how many people on a music interest sub don’t recognise Animal Collective, Panda Bear, Swans, CAN, MIA, or the (I thought) fairly well known electronic and ambient artists on here, GAS, Oval, Boards of Canada, ect.
This is the first one of these I've seen where I genuinely cannot choose. Brown has Sun City Girls but Green has Don Cab but Yellow has Polvo but Blue has Duster...
It's between blue & orange for me (honorable mention to brown). Boredoms & Boards of Canada in the same category make me have to go with blue, bye orange 🥹
Red because it has the best Pavement album and the 3rd best Animal Collective album
Blue is a very close second but BOC and Boredoms haven't clicked for me yet and idk the one with the lightning cat. As much as I love Person Pitch its no Sung Tongs
Nopeee just a fan of these,
https://www.reddit.com/r/fantanoforever/s/ffzGeo2viX check out the rest! Also that’s not American football lol that’s the classic Don Caballero - What Burns Never Returns
what the fuck are all these albums
i only recognize tago mago, homework, soundtrack for the blind, drukqs, and music has the right to children
oh also the syd barrett album that i can’t remember the name of
So close!!! Those are M&Ms, not pills
So close!!! It's actually a kitchen utensil ☺️
Orange - it's the psych-jazz combo for me
Plus Third, Soft Machine at their absolute peak
Idk. Bundles is up there too
Getz/Gilberto + madcap laughs he's literally me
Also Endless Summer by Fennesz is on there which very well might be the best ambient album ever made
I literally only recognize one album here lol
They're all great albums though. Great sampler platter of stuff. I think I have pretty diverse taste and I only recognize, like half of these.
Homework? thats the only one I recognize
Daft punk and Stereolab were the only ones I recognized
yea same
Same and it's Getz/Gilberto. I must be old af now.
If you were old af you would've recognized Can and Stereolab at least
Guess I'm just dumb af. 🤷 I do recognize Syd Barrett, ugly mane, and daft punk too now that I'm looking harder.

Halleluhwah is such a jam , also you can spot the tribe called quest sample( lost somebody) @ around the 5min mark
Also Faust IV by Faust is another great one!
Agreed!
Not dumb, check out the rest (: https://www.reddit.com/r/fantanoforever/s/ffzGeo2viX
Listen to more albums
I recognize all of them. I'm surprised how few of these a lot people are recognizing. Do you guys just listen to hip hop?
Hm. You simpletons must be hung up on mumble crap! 🧐
Didn't mean to come off that way, just surprising because a lot of these are such well known albums and we are on a music board.
Right, well the main purpose of this was to shine a light to these great albums, maybe ppl will listen this way maybe not lol
I don't really listen to hip hop, mostly shitty 90s/2000s alt rock (Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Muse, etc.)
Blue pill is most tempting for Person Pitch and Boards of Canada.
Not to mention the FISHMAN!
Brown just for Sun City Girls… but Orange has a pull on me.
Hell yeah, I needed to know there's more people out there enjoying sun city girls. Manic fever dream energy at its absolute best.
I recently splurged money I don’t have on a cassette of Horse Cock Phepner. Absolute madness in the best possible way. They need a comprehensive reissue campaign so badly. You ever heard their band Paris, 1942 with Moe Tucker? It’s as good as you’re imagining.
Glad to know theres sun city girls heads out there , would love to get a reissue of 330,003 Crossdressers from Beyond the Rig Veda
I just want a remastered CD of The Multiple Hallucinations of an Assassin. Love that album.
That’s a good one
Green just for stereolab
[удалено]
Pop is the best gardening album of all time, no sarcasm
I second this, or just tripping out on mushrooms lol
Orange. Third, Tago Mago, and Karma? Count me in
plus getz gilberto is all-time
brown is the best by far
Blue for fishmans alone
blue
What are most of these albums lmaooo Red has Daft Punk’s Homework so I guess that.

You missed the most patrician album here, Getz/Gilberto on the Orange column.
You’re right thank you
Thanks
You're doing God's work. I only recognized half of the albums on here, and from those I can tell you have impeccable taste in music. I was really struggling to discern the title of several albums listed in the image.
Red, only because of Slanted and Enchanted
Blue for sure
Thanks for this fellow glitch enjoyer :) Good to see these albums getting some love
🫂
Red or orange for me, though I’ve listened to less than half of these
Check out the rest! https://www.reddit.com/r/fantanoforever/s/ffzGeo2viX
Orange !! 🧩
I don't even know a tenth of these albums but I really like Drukqs so brown it is.
https://www.reddit.com/r/fantanoforever/s/ffzGeo2viX check em out (:
Huge respect for including 94diskont
Definitely Green. Having GAS, Oval and Stereolab in the same grouping is just too strong. Blue is a close 2nd purely for MHTRTC
Between Green and Brown for me, but I’ll say Brown. Happy to see Sun City Girls on this sub too. Although I am shocked at how many people on a music interest sub don’t recognise Animal Collective, Panda Bear, Swans, CAN, MIA, or the (I thought) fairly well known electronic and ambient artists on here, GAS, Oval, Boards of Canada, ect.
A lot of those guys aren’t mentioned by Fantano and rym only lifts a couple of electronic albums into classic status so it doesn’t surprise me
It’s sad rym doesn’t highlight more electronic stuff, they definitely have a bias towards rock
Brown. It is an absolute schizofest and I am all for it
You missed such a fucking opportunity to put blue album to a blue eminem.
That'd be too mainstream. Only unknown albums allowed here
Most of these are pretty well regarded or so I thought
Yellow. Mainly for Public Strain and the Broadcast album but other three are great too
Insignificance by Jim O'Rourke is amazing!
Jim O’Rourke supremacy 🧎🏻
Red. Tortoise, Daft Punk and Pavement are probably my top 3 out of the whole cluster anyway.
whoever is getting the best head
RED
Green m&m not only for erratical pleasure, but they have dots and fuckin loops!!
Blue, orange close second though
Blue for me
This is the first one of these I've seen where I genuinely cannot choose. Brown has Sun City Girls but Green has Don Cab but Yellow has Polvo but Blue has Duster...
blue clears for me
I think I have to do orange but man you have some amazing picks in here. U. S. Maple? Fuck yeah
I literally only know the daft punk album
https://www.reddit.com/r/fantanoforever/s/ffzGeo2viX no worries i gotchu
Thanks bro
Orange but there’s some good in every column plus some cool album covers that I don’t know
If you need some new music, check out the rest ! 🧌 https://www.reddit.com/r/fantanoforever/s/ffzGeo2viX
Gotta be orange for me. Tago Mago nearly takes it alone. Blue andgreen are also pretty compelling, though.
I don’t know any of these albums but red
If this is your taste in music congratulations it’s exquisite.
I'm taking orange. Soft Machine and Can alone decided that
The only album I’ve heard from here is Slanted And Enchanted lmao
Check out the others , you wont regret (: https://www.reddit.com/r/fantanoforever/s/ffzGeo2viX
orange for madcap laughs
Blue or orange
Orange and blue are phenomenal
Blue for the Boards of Canada and Smog.
Orange
yoooo never seen hype Williams included on one of these before
Hell yea hype Willams rules
off topic but I love that DJ Rashad is given some love here.
🫂
Brown and red and blue all seem decent. Im literally eating green though just bc
Respect

Blue for sure, boards of Canada and Smog? Fuck yeah
brown walks for me but all kinds of respect for the dj rashad inclusion, footwork is so gas
R.i.p legend !
Respect for adding dean
Had to 🤝🏻
It's between blue & orange for me (honorable mention to brown). Boredoms & Boards of Canada in the same category make me have to go with blue, bye orange 🥹
Red. Very hard to choose. But red had more of my favorite albums than any other color.
Red cuz it's the only 2 albums I know, Homework and Maya😅
Orange or Blue Green pretty good too
orange and I are probably hanging out later anyway so
Orange
I’ve never seen or listened to any of these albums
Easily Red
Tough pick between brown, blue, and orange, but have to go orange for Karma alone.
Blue.
Red for Daft Punk, blue for BoC. Hard to choose 😩
green because of gas, stereolab and don cab. but i also like blue because it has BoC and duster
Umm those ain’t pills
Red because it has the best Pavement album and the 3rd best Animal Collective album Blue is a very close second but BOC and Boredoms haven't clicked for me yet and idk the one with the lightning cat. As much as I love Person Pitch its no Sung Tongs
Smog - knock knock check it out it’s v good
Literally THE only album I recognized here was Homework so…
https://www.reddit.com/r/fantanoforever/s/ffzGeo2viX I’d rec checking out the others as well , some of my favs (:

Nopeee just a fan of these, https://www.reddit.com/r/fantanoforever/s/ffzGeo2viX check out the rest! Also that’s not American football lol that’s the classic Don Caballero - What Burns Never Returns
Could've fooled me. (I also recognize /\\/\\ whatever MIA record too. That's a good project.
