Here is a list of 5 albums that I love, and think others will love too:

Animals by Pink Floyd
Animals, to put it simply, is a piece of art. The lyrics talk about three different kinds of people (dogs, sheep and pigs). The music is, for the most part, darker then most of the other stuff by Pink Floyd. Animals contains some of David Gilmour's best solos and although this album contributed to the breaking up of Pink Floyd and created a lot of tension in the band, it is a great one to listen to.

Everything Goes Numb by Streetlight Manifesto
The lone ska album on this list, Everything Goes Numb is genius. Every song is well put together and the horn lines are incredible. The lyrics, while they may be spouted out at impossible speeds, are catchy and well thought out.

Tio Bitar by Dungen
A Swedish psychedelic masterpiece, while many (or rather, most) people consider it's predecessor Ta Det Lugnt a superior album, Tio Bitar is one of several masterpieces of an incredible musician. While it starts out in a borderline-annoying police siren emulating guitar screech, the album goes on to play incredibly catchy melodies and great music. Pretty much the best 'chill out' album I've ever heard.

UK by UK
The keyboards in this album are breathtaking, the solos are amazing and the music is just plain incredible. This is a progressive masterpiece, and though it isn't as famous as a lot of other progressive albums of this time it is a simply breathtaking album.

'Til The Medicine Takes by Widespread Panic
The jam band Widespread Panic has grown a large reputation as a great jam band. This album proves, however, that they are more then just a live band. The first 4 tracks are by far the best, however that does not mean that the rest of it isn't good.

Hope you find something that fits your taste in this list

In no particular order...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dusted_Variations, by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollo_Armstrong (in co-operation with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_(musical_project))

This is an orchestrated take on some of Enigma's works, with a very ambient and minimalistic overtone.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Ancient_Muse, by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loreena_McKennitt

Loreena takes us on a journey across the Eastern sands with themes of adventure, love and betrayal. Seriously, who doesn't like Loreena McKennit? And no, your opinion does not count if all you listen to is contemporary American rock / pop / rap.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiemus:_Songs_of_Sanctuary, by Karl Jenkins (the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiemus)

"Each Adiemus album is a collection of song-length pieces featuring harmonised vocal melody against an orchestral background. There are no lyrics as such: instead the vocalists sing syllables and 'words' invented by Jenkins." Yup. That about sums it up. Adiemus is aurally very pleasant.

Classical is like, so old-school.... Techno is the new and improved version, but you don't have to call it Techno... You could call it awesome, incredible, or even awesomely incredible or incredibly awesome! LOL.... Let's stick with Techno.....

MSR5 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 30, 2007, 02:42:00 pm »

Techno is horrible it has no soul to it, no life

MechaTech84 · « **Reply #11 on:** November 30, 2007, 02:48:00 pm »

Classical is the same thing, with different instruments!!!! C'mon!!!! It's not that different. An "UPDATED VERSION" must be similar to the original...

MSR5 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 30, 2007, 02:50:00 pm »

but you must agree violin and most clasical instruments sound much better giving clasical music an emotional side to it

MechaTech84 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 30, 2007, 02:51:00 pm »

depends on what you like, I like both in different moods...
