With some help from an extremely talented DJ (Forest Green) and a very knowedgeable staff at my local Techno music store (Nice Musique) I have a good collection of Techno CDs. Here are five that I think you will totally enjoy. The Amazon customer rating is included for each album in case you are interested (5 stars is their highest rating).

My CD player counts how many times each song was played. My most played song EVER is on this album (Sonar by Sarcoblast) - the counter is at 350 right now! Carl Cox says of this album: "There are no limits with this album. It is just to be enjoyed."

This is a wonderful album by a legendary pioneer in techno music. What is most amazing about this album is that you don't have to be a techno fan to like it! I tested it out on someone who never even heard of "techno" and she liked it.
When Sasha finishes one of his special sets, people are liable to get emotional. You could call it trance. I call it MAGIC - Dom Phillips/Mixmag
I tried playing this album on my stereo in our Living Room and set the Sony Receiver to "Church" environment mode. It made it seem just like being in a huge dance hall! Wonderful!
Northern Exposure Expeditions by Sasha + John Digweed

A Trance-Techno journey by two of the most respected DJs in the world. Each of the two CDs has a different mood. Track blends and cuts are superb as can be expected from these masters.
