you might also try:

murcof

or if you are leaning towards a more digitally relaxed state:
mum

guitar
styrofoam
dub tractor
the album leaf
four tet
kompakt 100 (comp)
blue skied an clear (comp)

'Murcof' just released a new album under his Nortec Collective aka 'Terrestre'. I think he is making some of the most sleek and refined minimalist electro today. Extremely compositional use of Tijuana street musicians, classical music, post funk rythmn and jazz.

classical music? huh?whatcha mean?

electronic music?
sheeeit!
you gotta start out with some steve reich, maybe some brian eno. slowly work your way up to the more danceable stuff: kox box, logic bomb, growling mad scientists, uh... shit, i guess that's all psyschedelic trance (one tiny dark bizarre corner of the electronic music field)... anyway, more psytrance:
Atmos,
Children of Paradise,
Dark Soho,
The Delta,
Hallucinogen,
Hux Flux,
Infected Mushroom,
M.O.S. (mittelstandskinder ohne strom)
Midi Miliz,
Process,
Sandman,
Shpongle,
Spirallianz,
Three Point Turn (aka 3.turn)
Vibrasphere,
X-Dream,
Xenomorph,
Younger Brother,
and last but not least: Yumade
enjoy!

Push Button Objects Rulez

definitely get some eno- the remaster of 'here come the warm jets' is fantastic

coil - loves secret domain, or musick to play in the dark vols 1 & 2

photek - modus operandi

orbital - insides (there are many versions of this - get the one with the bonus disc including "the box"

david bowie - outside a seriously overlooked album

meat beat manifesto - subliminal sandwich

primal scream - xterminator

any merzbow or dissecting table - for that noise fix

any mouse on mars album

yes, any mouse on mars album

good god archangel... did you really post that list in 2004 or did it get lost for about 7 years? i'm not even all that up on current stuff, but your collection could sure use some updating.

don't wanna hit you with too much current stuff, so maybe seek out the following to ease yr transition out of 1996. (seriously they're still great artists/discs...)

it's 2004. electronic music is dead. this thread is reminding me of a conversation i would've had in 1997.

the compact and bpitch control labels from germany are kina cool. Also try two lone swordsmen and andy weatherhall...

try out t.rauschmiere . . . . just relelased a new album reasonably acclaimed

here we go again down the same path...why don't we call the thread "find and name the most obscure music artist you can, just fo the sake of being different"
Electronic music is not dead. Although I will agree that it reached it's pinnacle 4-5 years ago, there are still a few genres that have stepped back and begun looking at their roots (cage, eno, can, etc...etc.) to try to move forward. Then there are those artist who have no interest in the "art" of it all and are just after the big buc$. Everyone (specially the non-posers) will stand by their genre, whether it's House, Trance, DnB, 2step, Breaksbeat, clicks and beats (abstract) on and on...

im different, try dntel

Hifana - these guys are amazing, just pointed out to me by a friend. http://www.wktokyolab.com/

This is good...real nice.
Thanks (so far).

oregon,
w+k tokyolab is great thanks!

lexi if you're really into it, i highly recommend purchasing one of the albums by any of the 3 wktl artists. Hifana happens to be my fav - each album contains a cd with the music and a separate dvd with the music put to amazing graphics

forgot to mention a few that arent 'dated' 1997

adult - resuscitation

add n to x - revenge of the black regeant EP is a good intro

fennesz - endless summer or venice

william basinski- disintegration loops

clinic - internal wrangler

Electronic music is more annoying than current rap

electronic music is definately not dead only permanently resides in somewhere in the European Union

Zorbil 03 <- hype what ever happened to them
Talvin Singh <- you don't get any better

But am honestly into hip-hop now.

Ps. two lone swordmen´s last album is good (closer to rock than electro, "from the double gone chapel" -warp).

I've been listening to the new Prodigy album last couple of days, and to be honest it's a bit disapointing. It hits hard with openers spitfire and girls but the rest of the songs are disapointing and almost non-prodigy worthy
