Yes sort of agree with you Steve about La Roux and Bjork. Goldfrapp, Fischerspooner, Ladytron etc. could all be on that list too.... If it's about remixes Tori Amos' Professional Widow (Armand van Helden) could count too. A few niggles and a couple omissions aside a decent article on it all IMO.

All these articles are just clickbait
But they're good for discussion too - like what we're doing here
The Guardian's list of Bowie's 50 best songs inspired me to go back and listen to every song/album he ever released (and rank them)

Definitely LFO - they were on Warp records you must remember them Got it when it came out in the long, hot summer of 1990 which coincided with a certain popular football tournament. The Leeds Warehouse mix is the choice serving. When that bass drops. Oof.

Here’s a link to an interesting piece from 6 Music about 30 tracks that have shaped dance music since 1988… yes it is that long ago since we’ve have this Dance Music culture with us. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5ZF19S8FTX9WJcnr5j9JF3x/30-tracks-that-shaped-dance-musicAn odd one or two aside these tracks, like Pacific State, Windowlicker, Little Fluffy Clouds, Papua New Guinea, LFO, The Man With The Red Face, Voodoo Ray, Born Slippy.NUXX, Belfast etc. etc. have pretty much influenced me musically. Some of you may not like this sort of music – fair enough, but I though it was an interesting piece and I do know a few forum members like this stuff like me – enjoy. Pacific State summed up ‘89 for me and it’s one of my cherished slabs of the era. The various radio edits were a poorer (shorter) mash-up of the original track on the quadrastate ep (state 004). I’ve just touched the cover and I’m thirty-one years younger. Given it was hammered on pirate radio that summer (Centre Force 88.3 was my choice which eventually stopped broadcasting after getting busted for the 938th time that summer), I first heard the track on the John Peel show which just shows you the diversity of what the man played. The previous track was probably something by Ivor Cutler and afterwards was probably the latest offering by Half Man Half Biscuit or Mark E Smith’s The Fall. Another track I’d add to that list is Sueno Latino, also from ‘89. No Beefa this summer so crack open some tin, sit back and you’re there. Sort of.
