Dropped is the fifth full-length album by industrial/hip hop artists Consolidated, which was released in 1998 by G7 Welcoming Committee. The title is an allusion to the band having been "dropped" by London Records because of poor album sales as well as a general reference to men having "dropped the ball" in their relationships.

According to Chris Hannah, one of the founding members of the G7 Welcoming Committee record label, Adam Sherburne contacted the fledgling label after seeing an ad in the pages of Z Magazine and requested that they release the album. [2]

Mr. Modo label in 1990, with numerous subsequent releases on the R&S / Apollo labels throughout the following decade. According to Philipp Sherburne, Sun Electric initially released "straight-ahead Frankfurt trance, but by the mid '90s they were masters of elastic rhythms and silvery leads. Their albums Present and Via Nostra [...] are underrated masterpieces of late-'90s electronica." The band has been influential within techno, trance, ambient and intelligent dance music (IDM) genres.
