I've discovered so much cool new music here just by lurking and asking, that it's taken me awhile to digest it. Now it's time for another bite. The list below falls into the category of 'electronic' for me. I'm looking for stuff that falls between 'heavy' and 'ambient' if that makes any sense. Not looking for trance. Any suggestions for stuff that sounds similar to the following?

Amethystium
Bersarin Quartett
Biosphere
Dead Can Dance
Elsiane
Enigma
Fever Ray
Infected Mushroom
Jean Michel Jarre
Mike Oldfield
Moby
Mono
Phoenix
Portishead
Tangerine Dream
Thievery Corporation
Within Temptation
.

Brian Eno - Ambient/Pop oriented electronic stuff
EDIT: Start with "Another Green World" and move on from there. This has a good combination of electronic tunes and some pop tunes. His later albums are more ambient, example "Ambient 1: Music for Airports"

 

[Detritusdave]

Try Machinefabriek, Fennesz, Svarte Greiner. All excellent. Boomkat has an excellent selection of this kind of stuff, usually in lossless download as well. Boomkat - Your independent music specialist

 

[Prog Rock Man]

This will give you loads of new ideas

Thank you.
There's way more music out there than one person can keep up with.

Infected Mushroom ---> Shpongle. The inevitable recommendation, so I'll just do it.
Not really into electronic, but you could try I-F too, quite diverse style (Theme From Sunwheel Beachbar, Playstation, Spiegelbeeld, Space Invaders are Smoking Grass, Torment)
Fischerspooner, maybe The Knife?

 

[tintin47]

The knife. It is the girl from fever ray and her brother. Similar, but different in a good way. Pick up Silent Shout

 

[virometal]

Yeah just to hammer it home, try Silent Shout - such a friggin' great album.

Here's my rec: Ultrashiver by The Secret Meeting

 

[Jupiterknight]

Check out artists like Sigurd Ros, Royksopp, Goldfrapp, Cocteau Twins, Acoustic Alchemy, Telepopmusic, Astral Projection, Juno reactor, Kraftwerk. They have more or less similarities or reference to the artists you have listed.

 

[Cianyx]

Try My Bloody Valentine.
Some shoegaze might interest you.

Blue Sky Black Death
Ben Frost
Metaform
PSY/OPSogist
Tim Hecker
Jaga Jazzist
Cornelius
Bark Psychosis (get Hex)

you may like Magma and Koenjihyakkei if you like Mike Oldfield. All I know is that my friends got into Mike Oldfield from me constantly playing Magma and Koenjihyakkei.

Ling Ling: I like it. I don’t know what it is, but it sounds like Japanese Ambient to me. I need more time to process.
(p.s. I notice you’re starting to crank out some nice looking cables. Good job)

@tintin47 and virometal: I listened to the title song and marble house from Silent Shout. That’s a keeper. Funny, I’m kinda of going backwards from fever to knife.

Everyone else, I’m working on it. Thanks. This is great.
