I just got Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase from the library. Still listening, but so far I don't like too much to be honest...

ooook... Mogwai is not electronica.

Neither is Radiohead, really... but get Kid A if you dont' have it. It's my fav album of all time.

Yeah I did get Kid A... I didn't really like it much though.

Type records has a radio page where you can stream various mixes;

Also http://www.di.fm/ has a helluva lot of streams. Bound to find something you like there...

Plugging "electronica" into Media Monkey's Net radio and listening to "Space Station Soma" a while it sounds to me like electronic elevator music.

Soma's stations play mostly ambient, so that's what I would expect. Most people expect something a little more upbeat and moving when they talk about electronica...try the di.fm stations instead.

I'm going to suggest you not buy any more electronic music until you figure out what kind (if any) you like, via free means like the links posted and streams on the mentioned artists' pages, and the library etc. Maybe when/if you find another couple artists that you like we can help recommend more.

This may have been the funniest thing I've ever read. Bravo!

For the Murcof fans earlier in the thread, I think you might like the Neon City EP by Deaf Center.

Another good free album is the first by Brothomstates, available here;

Thanks, although I can't take credit, I just saw it somewhere a long time ago.

Just having got this album, it may be considered post-rock, but I think it uses enough electronic elements to be mentioned here and it's really really good.

Tortoise - TNT

I'll also mention The Books while I'm at it. Re-listened to Lost And Safe yesterday and it's amazing.

The Knife-Silent Shout.....I know it has been mentioned earlier but it is a
must have!
Massive Attack....Everything is good but start with Mezzanine.
Amon Tobin-Permutations.....This was mentioned earlier and this is a
fantastic, dark very edgy cd.
M83....Epic!
Bjork!
Digitalism-Idealism....I've been listening to recently and it is growing on me.

Sorry to ressurect but...


I just got This Binary Universe and OMG

This is probably the best CD I have ever heard!!!! It kinda reminds me of fruit juice that says it has an 'apple base'. TBU has an 'electronica' base, but with little 'flavours' in there as well. Theres some jazz, rock, house, classical... It's INSANE! I LOVE IT!!!!

 

[Geoff Rymer]

Don't apologise for resurrecting- I enjoyed this thread!

Hmm, may have to check this CD out...
