hmmmm.....electronic music

I think Adam Beyer and Richie Hawtin are pretty electronic

Cinematic Orchestra are pretty damn sweet if you like that jazzy feel.
Ozric Tentacles are always good for a listen.
Dr Didg if you want didgeridoo with a live band and sampling.
DJ Shadow has some nice stuff goin on.
Nitin Sone has some nice stuff too as well as tom waites.
Charles webster, zero 7???????

Hard to think at the moment lol.

What really blew my mind was the Unkle - War Stories disc I picked up last week via a recommendation here. Man, that is some serious talent!

What is the best electronic infused Ween album to pick up?

+1 for Telefon Tel Aviv

And check out The Knife.

I'd say Pure Guava. But I usually recommend Chocolate and Cheese as a good Ween starter album. Either or, it's all good. Welcome to the club.

Amazing high energy 'math rock' on Warp (or whatever da kids call it these days!)

The Emperor Machine may be worth checking out. IMO, sounds like a 1970's sci-fi tv show soundtrack mixed up with funky itlao beats and sweet sounding analog synths. Quality stuff.

Colder has been a favorite for me since I first heard though depressing as fuck sometimes! Guess thats why i like it. "On My Mind" blows my mind!

Skinny Puppy is automatic... in that they take music to another dimension. They may not be what you are looking for but still SP and accompanying side projects must be heard and personally have yet to be replaced in the "WOW-ing" department.

I like the Richie Hawtin CD/DVD of which you talked about earlier. I appreciate it for its concept as described in the inlet. If you like his stuff, check out Plastikman, his other alias.

DJ Mixed albums are always great for finding new music. I love it when the artists i like release mixed albums. You get to hear their good tastes!

Did you notice on the Richie Hawtin album Legowelt? Or Detroit Grand Pubahs? Getting a little bit off the target topic / genre here i guess but ..

Luke Eargoggle rocks!!!

And anyone on being fans of Legion of Green Men? Been listening to them for quite some time and it still plays constantly! Anyone on similar artists? Or some quality minimal techno artists or labels. Tastes are heading in that direction.

Ulrich Schnauss.

Best electronic music I've heard in a long time. Doesnt have to rely on crazy tricks and glitch effects, he just writes great tunes in a totally electronic styles.

Try digging out ex Cabaret Voltaire member Richard H Kirk's albums.
Really any of them of rather superb to say the least.
They aren't "NEW" but they all sound fantastic even by todays standards I must confess.

For true live musicianship and Ableton being used out the ying yang:

I know what you're sayin'....
you're looking for Rawness and Dynamics !!!

check 'detroit grand pubas' ...

AMON TOBIN... (!!!)

Gaudi...

Moloko...

Mr. Oizo...

Tony Allen... (!!!)

Aphex twin..

although not completely my cup of tea but ....
'younger brother' cd sounds AMAZING !

Kid 606
Unkle
Amon Tobin
Kaada

If you particularly want new stuff then another vote for Battles, although not sure if any of this can be classed as 'electronic'. Who cares, it's all good!!!

Another shout for Jamie Lidell
And another shout for Oval
Plus I have to say To Rococo Rot always did it for me with their live shows, Ronald Lippok is such a great solid drummer but with real feel and delicacy. I really miss their live shows. Come back!
