Play is an album that I liked as a youngun, hated as I got older, and am back to loving again. No shame in that.

PLAY is a great record and those that don’t like it can lick Moby’s salty bald head.

It gonna be Chainsmokers. They are this generations Daft Punk and they gotta appeal the Gen Z occasionally.

Mike Budenholzer would be happy
r/MkeBucks - Coach Bud letting it fly at the Chainsmoker’s concert. I love this man.

Don't think anyone's mentioned it here, but for electronic duo - MGMT would be very on brand for VMP. And Oracular Spectacular has apparently been out of print since 2014.

You're right. I can definitely see it being this.

Anyone care to take a stab at whatever that Electronic album with 2 members could be? I can't think that they'd jump on the Daft Punk train with all the represses. I'd definitely be down for Justice.

I think I'm past a Chemical Brothers phase.

Pet Shop Boys

You can also throw M83 into the mix. M83 was duo prior to Nicolas Fromageau leaving after 2003s Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts.

Don't joke, I'd be all over that.

Shit, didn't know it's out of print. I know of a store locally that has a stash of copies I may have to raid this weekend.

Would anything in that era truly be essential though?

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Mount Kimbie is another possibility.

Yeah, I was surprised to see it's out of print too. Don't have a copy myself, so would not hate this pick. There are arguably far more interesting ways they could go here though.

Again this is VMP we are talking about here where anything could be essential

Hurry Up is a masterpiece, Saturdays = Youth is great. Those are the only two albums acceptable in Essentials. Everything else outside of Junk (lives up to the name) I'd be left scratching my head as they're okay.

Very almost begs for a bright orange pressing with a fancy embossed cover.

Ha, still all over it...it's really a shame though they're totally a "get the greatest hits" band.

 

[bdrummond]

Anyway...it's going to be hilarious when VMP dives into Dubstep with Knife Party as the 2 member electronic duo.

I would be perfectly okay with that tbh but to each their own. That said, I would much prefer Pendulum

I honestly didn't HATE 100% No Modern Talking and Rage Valley. Haven't listened to them since. I thought it was better than Skrillex.
