I'm just discovering this genre, coming from electronic and dance its a nice change, and I would love some recommendations if at all possible, all I really been exposed to so far is Kalmah, and Ziltoid  the Omniscient by Devin Townsend. So anything would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Pixel.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get all the parts I would need to make a 2.5m long version of this, for as cheap as possible? It wouldn't need the same connectors, just as cheap as you can go without going below the quality of a stock akg cable
