Für die Suche nach den 50 besten elektronischen Alben der letzten 25 Jahre, die in der aktuellen Groove-Ausgabe ausführlich besprochen werden, haben wir rund siebzig Künstler und DJs, Journalisten und Labelbetreiber gebeten, ihre Favoriten einzureichen. Zehn ausgewählte Jury-Listen findet ihr in diesem Beitrag, weitere zehn Listen gibt es hier. Jedes Jury-Mitglied konnte bis zu 20 Alben benennen – soweit die Listen nicht nummeriert waren, haben wir sie alphabetisch geordnet.
