  1. Flutter

    1994 · Warp

    Ranked No. 2 in IDM

    Written so that no two bars repeat, in order to be legal under a British law that had just banned gatherings around repetitive beats. A protest record whose method became the duo's entire career.

  2. Gantz Graf

    2002 · Warp

    Ranked No. 6 in IDM

    Rhythm dissolved into texture and then reassembled, at a level of detail that only makes sense on headphones. The furthest this music travelled from the drum machine it started on.

  3. Flutter

    1994 · Warp

    Picked by 1994

    Written so that no two bars share a tempo, specifically to be legal under the Criminal Justice Bill's definition of repetitive beats. A protest record whose protest is encoded in the rhythm programming, and it opened a door the genre went through.

  4. Flutter

    1994 · Warp

    Picked by Warp

    No two bars at the same tempo, written that way to be legal under the Criminal Justice Bill. A label with a hit single putting out a piece of legislative protest, which is the clearest evidence here that the A&R was not commercial.

  5. Gantz Graf

    2002 · Warp

    Picked by Warp

    The end point of the argument this list makes: music arranged past the point where a listener can hold the pattern, released by a label that began with a dance twelve-inch. Whether it is enjoyable is not the claim. That it was released is.
