Marky: The Brazilian Job is what got me into D&B. Also The Master Plan is another great one from him

Also not sure if anyone's mentioned them yet but all the Bingo sessions are solid albums!
And Full Cycle Present : Cross Collaborations.

Big bud - Infinity + Infinity

one of the most deep/atmospheric albums out there... that and the Icons album I mentioned are essential
 
I know some of these have been said, but it needs reinforcing

Bop - Clear Your Mind
Phace & Misanthrop - From Deep Space
Atlantic Connection - Tomorrow's Not Enough
Cern - Terminus
ASC - Nothing Is Certain
They Live - Cancel Standard
Genotype - Ritual Dance
Lynx & Kemo - The Raw Truth
Sabre - A Wandering Journal
Consequence - Live For Never

Well worth extending an overdraft to grab the lot

Couldn't disagree more, an album can give a lot more creative freedom, with more space to experiment and have running themes and concepts throughout.

Drum & bass albums which are just a collection of single tracks put onto a cd maybe, but something like A Wandering Journal or 1984 allow the producers to put out stuff that would never make it onto a single or EP.

Being a wannabe DJ I have purchased a fair bit of vinyl over the last 3 years so have got quite a few singles but cheers for the pro tip.

I assumed he meant 'don't mix' as in the tracks on the album don't sit nicely together as a coherent whole. Not in the literal sense that you can't DJ with them.

Anyway only the more mainstream drum & bass albums feature edited versions of singles (Sub Focus, Chase & Status etc.) So you can still use a CD album from someone like Break or D-Bridge to play out.
