300 Club - QQ All-Star
BT's This Binary Universe.
Yes it has videos for each track.......very LONG tracks btw......but they do not need to be watched to enjoy this space-age downtempo chill music. FYI: none of the samples there include the parts of the song where the drums finally come in - your sub WILL get a workout, trust me! I like this album a lot. Even my parents like many of the tracks.
FYI: stereo track is in 48kHz/24bit form. Sound quality of both tracks is very good, and with no boosted treble (to my ears anyway) and no noticeable compression problems. In fact the dynamic range on this disc is very wide in many spots, probably because elements of classical music are included. I don't own it yet but his other CD+dvd album, the soundtrack to the film Monster, is supposed to be very good also.
I haven't bought this next title yet, but am close to doing so because the music seems like some fun stuff to turn up loud during certain types of get togethers......and when cruising by myself :
Bad Boy Bill's Behind The Decks. A CD+dvd package with DD and DTS tracks - samples here.
This is really more like house music than electronica, but it does use a lot of electronic instruments Not any full reviews of the surround mix on that site but the few that have listened to it say its quite aggressive.

BTW: if anyone was wondering about all the different genres of electronica/house/downtempo/hip-hop starting back in the 1960s(!) to the present, this EXCELLENT site will help:
