I know none of these artists. Get off my lawn?

I haven’t either, but the only electronic album I got from 2012 or 2011 is Half Measures by the Prize Fighter Inferno, which no one has probably heard of either unless I told them that it is a side project from Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria. I haven’t listened to it enough to know if it was good or not, but I think I prefer their first album, My Brother’s Blood Machine. Good mixture of low fi electronic music along with the type of acoustic music electronic artists tend to do :slight_smile: except it is in Claudio Sanchez’s voice so it is still pretty good.

Mostly I have a bunch of single tracks or compilation albums, But here are a few full albums I downloaded:

Cut Copy - Zonoscope
Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles (II)
deadmau5 - > Album Title Goes Here <
Digitalism - I Love You, Dude
Moby - Destroyed
Nero - Welcome Reality
Paul Oakenfold - Never Mind The Bollocks…Here’s Paul Oakenfold
Paul Van Dyk - A State of Trance 2012
Swedish House Mafia - Until Now

Well, I’m hardly qualified to discuss top five, but I surely did enjoy Motion Sickness of Time Travel.
