depends on the mood you are going for
Dots and Loop is the most obvious choice
but, lets say that never existed then I would go with...
Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night/First of the microbe hunters (its a tie really) Sound-Dust Fab Four Suture
I like all of their work but I'm more mid-late career over the super early stuff....the super early stuff is REALLY GOOD you just cant drop into it, you have to listen to like, a few records of the time AND THEN drop into that stuff otherwise its not immediately rewarding and you kinda go "is this it? something is going to happen right?"
of the early stuff then I would go
Emperor Tomato Ketchup Mars Audiac Quintet Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements
Mars Audiac Quintet Emperor Tomato Ketchup Dots and Loops
Stereolab is my favorite group ever, hands down. Those three are the best I think, and a nice mix of just about all the sounds they go through in their career imo.
I would also check out Monade if you like stereolab, it's a group with laeticia sadier
