The main reason I suggested Colours is that its one of the few cases where someone deep into the scene attempted to appeal to people outside of the genre's core audience. Variety and all that. Goldie (in his own way) attempted that feat with Timeless around '95, and that album is a major touchstone for electronic / EDM music in general of the era, not just jungle. But it would have been sad to see that one ripped apart, so I picked something a bit more accessible.

I'll give the man (or woman) who can get you into stuff along these lines or jazz a medal.

Frownland: Do u Spotify m8

I can also be pre-2012 and share a zip file with you or something.
Let's see. I enjoyed this
Ten Walls – Queen

this

CLAVVS – World underwater

this

Andrew Rayel – Moments

and this
Carl Craig – Versus

Just to name a few. So I'm not opposed to electro/techno/dance/whatever. I just didn't and don't like that album.
