Intricately crafted electronic albums? (waveform.social)

I’m looking for suggestions for electronic albums in any sub-genre that you think exemplify dedication to craft and careful consideration of detail in any aspect: production, sound design, composition, etc.

Here are examples of some artists that I think have consistently released music in this vein:

Daft Punk (on this list particularly due to everyone’s go-to for great production, Random Access Memories)
Tipper
Yosi Horikawa
The Flashbulb
Shpongle
Lusine
Eli & Fur
KOAN Sound

For sound design, it's hard to beat Metroid Prime Triology's soundtracks. Each is just so good.

For atmosphere and technical ability, I think Xetrovoid's darkwave style deserves a shout, but Pertubator is a little more popular.

Otherwise, there's a lot of stellar vaporwave and futurefunk out there that takes advantage of these. I think a couple favorites are Vaperror, St. Pepsi, and Groceries, Yes We're Open!
