^Who influenced electronic music will always be subjective. It’s a little brain teaser exploring the mindset of the creator on this subject. And yes, I would agree some artists that have been included are significant, but not necessarily worthy.
I totally agree this ends up being more about the artist than the musicians, but... Underworld? I really don't think there's any world in which they aren't considered a gigantic part of the world of electronic music. Even if you're not a fan, you have to acknowledge their contribution to the scene. And with that, it does, in my opinion, become a fault of the artist.
That said, we don't know if they are in there yet. Right!?
Also, cigarette box wise - that's definitely a logo or album cover on the case. It looks familiar but I can't place it. It reminds me of Stanton Warriors a little. But, I don't see it being them.
Great catches on all the references though everyone! This has been really fun to dissect!
