Electronic music

[Rumpole]

I'm looking for some good electronic music. I'll admit that I'm not at all familiar with the genre, but I've heard parts of Ulver's Perdition City and quite enjoyed it, I'm looking for something along those lines, also I like the electronic aspect of Antimatter a lot. So if anyone could recommend some essential electronic/electronica (is there a difference?) albums or anything along the lines of what I described above, I would be most appreciative. Cheers.

Tycho and Orbital are always worth a listen... and Boards Of Canada of course, if you are not already familiar with them.

 

[Rumpole]

Thanks, I've heard of Orbital and I'm listening to Boards of Canada now, pretty good stuff.

I´m not too familiar with this genre. I guess the only albums I listen to which might fit into this genre (at least to a certain extent) are "I" and "II" by Qntal, "Helium Vola" and "Liod" by Helium Vola and Tactile Gemma´s eponymously titled debut album. However, all of these sound different from the stuff I just listened to on Orbital´s and Boards of Canada´s myspace-pages, so I don´t really know if they are what you´re looking for. Find out for yourself.

np: Mekong Delta - "Back Home"

The Future Sound Of London, in my opinion, are superb. I 'picked up' a compilation album and it led me down a road...

I also listen to some drum and bass but don't know that much. The style of Black Sun Empire caught my eye though, I'll probably look for more similar to them.
