The Other People Place - Lifestyles Of The Laptop Cafe (2XLP)

James Stinson is best known for being a member of seminal electro duo Drexciya. But his 1999 one-off album under the alias The Other People Place is one of the smartest dance records of all time. Reissued by Warp Records after fans circulated a petition, Lifestyles Of The Laptop Café is pearly and wistful. It’s a hypnotic, twinkly classic, as suited for odd hours on the dancefloor as it is for relaxed home listening. - Ted Davis
