Benchmark Records?
What records really inspire you in terms of production values? Is there anything you try to emulate/copy in your own mixes and recordings?
Debruit - Accord Don - Listen here
Team Sleep. Because I want to start including live guitars and vocals with the programmed stuff.
Massive Attack's "Blue Lines" keeps me inspired as well.

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die..
Sorry to lumber in like some kind of fat, bald dinosaur but, if we're talking electronic-type stuff, here are a couple of my favourites:
It is the most shattering experience of a young man's life, when one morning he awakes, and quite reasonably says to himself: "I will never play the Dane"
Phaedra is incredible given that it was out in 73, sounds amazing. I love it.
Production wise, there's tons of recordings I admire hugely.
Systems of Romance (Ultravox) and The Pleasure Principle (Numan), were game changers.
Also, mostly anything produced by Ethan Johns, who knows just how to make guitars etc sound spot on.
Don Solaris, 808 State, manages to sound both organic and synthetic at once.
I really like Unkle's more recent production style, from War Stories onwards, where the bottom end is really big, but not wooly at all.
I'm a big fan of what I describe as "tubular" bass, the sort of big phat sound, but with a clear top end so it has definition. Sort of like a Musicman Stingray bass through a Small Clone, with bright strings and a heavy pick, but rendered electronically....err..!!

Rounds by Four Tet - something I keep going to to remind me that you don't need a mass of gear to sound good.
Not electronic but my favourite productions are:
Indestructible - Disturbed
Karnivool - Themata
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
No Forbidding Allowed
