I’m looking for suggestions for electronic albums in any sub-genre that you think exemplify dedication to craft and careful consideration of detail in any aspect: production, sound design, composition, etc.

Here are examples of some artists that I think have consistently released music in this vein:

Daft Punk (on this list particularly due to everyone’s go-to for great production, Random Access Memories)
Tipper
Yosi Horikawa
The Flashbulb
Shpongle
Lusine
Eli & Fur
KOAN Sound

I mean Aphex Twin probably goes without saying, given the influence on some of the listed artists alone. Can't go wrong with any album but "...I Care Because You Do" or either of the "Selected Ambient Works" would be good starting points. Could also throw Autechre or Squarepusher in for the same reason too!

If you want something a bit more melodic, I love Stimming's album "Ludwig." Lisa Bella Donna's stuff is also a treat.

And I'll sneak in another style yet with Helene Vogelsinger! "Contemplation" is a great album.

I'm not sure if it technically counts as electronic music, but I really liked Aphex Twin's Computer Controlled Analogue Instruments.

The effort that went into recording it must have been enormous, and I wish I could have been in the room when the tracks were recorded.
