The summer is when everyone's energy is at its maximum, so you gotta have a way to release it.  Thankfully, there are a handful of electronic albums this year that will help you do just that.   They're not all club-hopping booty-shakers though; some of them will actually make you think:

Justice - Cross

Country: France
Standout tracks: "D.A.N.C.E.", "Genesis"
Info:  One of the most talked-about albums of the summer features tons of club-worthy dance beats and infectious melodies.


The Chemical Brothers - We Are The Night (QRO Review)

Country: England
Standout tracks: "Das Spiegel"
Info:  Indispensable veterans of electronica feature tons of friends and a loungier, groove sound rather than anthems.


Simian Mobile Disco -
Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release

Country: England
Standout tracks: "I Believe", "It's the Beat"
Info:  Two former members of Simian help kick start the dance craze of 2007 with unnatural DJ skills and plus help from friends.


Apparat - Walls (
QRO Review)

Country: Germany
Standout tracks: "Hailin' From the Edge", "Fractales Pt. 1"
Info:  Slick lounge dance-ready beats with amazing articulation through a wide variety of instrumental and electronic forces.

Digitalism - Idealism (QRO Review)
Country: Germany
Standout tracks:  "Zdarlight", "Digitalism in Cairo"
Info:  Helping to bring the Daft Punk redux alive, the German duo rocks ultra-digital dance riffs like a couple of robots would.


Unkle - War Stories (QRO Review)

Country: England
Standout tracks: "Hold My Hand", "Restless"
Info:  Superstar DJ James Lavelle gathers another all-star line-up together that includes Josh Homme, 3D, Ian Astbury, and Autolux.


Ulrich Schnauss - Goodbye (QRO Review)

Country: Germany
Standout tracks: "Shine", "Stars"
Info:  Sweeping, mellow waves with ghostly vocals form one of the more relaxing (but not chillout) albums of the year.


People Press Play - Self-titled (QRO Review)

Country: Denmark
Standout tracks: "Always Wrong", "Hangin On"
Info:  Downtempo electronics paint a dark urban picture
