How to play the electronic debut albums timeline

The cards are electronic artists, each showing the title of their debut album under the name, and you arrange them by the year that album came out. One artist begins on the timeline with the year in view. For each new card, pick the gap where it belongs. A right call uncovers the year; get it wrong and the card still goes to its correct place, but it costs you one of your three lives.

The acts trace the music from krautrock and synth pioneers through synth-pop, rave, trip-hop, big beat, French house and IDM to the EDM stars. Producers often put out records long before their breakthrough, so a debut can sit earlier than you'd expect. A first album can even come from an artist's childhood or a much earlier career, which makes those cards easy to misplace.
