There's electronic music with a beat and then there's Electro-Acoustic.

The Future Sound of London are my all time favourite makers of electronic music. My avatar may give that away..

I also love Tangerine Dream, Aphex Twin, The Orb, Pete Namlook, Plaid, Orbital...

Just for the hell of it, here's some classic Pete Namlook..

f**k Buttons is one of my current faves, and have been for quite some time.
I just posted a vid from them in the Krautrock thread, but damn I just can´t help myselfLOL

Another great electronic musician from the 1970s, Tim Blake.

Hi can anyone help me identify this piece of Krautrock electronic music from the 1970s.  I heard it in my childhood on the television during some scientific documentary, either on BBC or ITV.  The music reminded me of Edgar Frose, Klaus Shulze in the Virgin Tangerine Dream era.  It might be even Cluster, Eno or Vangelis but not the guitar dominated stuff more just synths.  I have been unable to locate this since so had to hum into a crappy Skype microphone and up it on Youtube to see if anyone could recognise it.

RATATAT! Amazing duo from New York. They are electronica rock. Listen to any song by them and you will not be disappointed, but the best song is Loud Pipes off their album Classics.

The Orb should be on this site, no question about it.    ...and not because of that recent collab with David Gilmour.

Ambient is one of my favorite forms of music.  I enjoy most acts on the Cold Meat Industry label; my favorites being:

Atrium Carceri
Raison D'etre
Sophia
The Protagonist

etc. etc.


Also, Cyclic Law is a good one.  Kammarheit, Lustmord, etc.


For more dancey electronic, the aforementioned The Knife is probably my favorite.  I also enjoy Justice, Daft Punk and Zeigeist. 

Then there is IDM (Boards of Canada), Psytrance/Goa (Shpongle, Ott, Younger Brother), Breakcore (venetian snares, Xanopticon) and all sorts of other stuff.

Huge genre.  Many varieties.  Definitely some of my favorite music.

I love Orb, Future Sound Of London, Aphex Twin, Squarpusher, Air...in fact many things from 50's contemporary classical to this day. I'm also involved in a few of projects (and some will be released soon)...the electronic scene is quite fruitful in my town, from retro-electro to slow spectral shifts...

However, if you're looking for a most bizarre combination of prog rock and electronica, please check Superluminal Pachyderm. Incredible. (it's here on PA)

Squarepusher is already on PA in JR/F. I love electronic music from trip-hop to serial composers and exotica records. The big DJ/electronic music scene of the early 90s was one of the most creative periods in music I've ever witnessed. It was nice that one of the best DJ shops in the country was a block from my house during this time.

Recently discovered Nosaj Thing. I think his work is a good balance of glitch and mellow beats...

IMO, Shreeve's best solo releases are Crash Head (1988) and Assassin (1984), plus the live release, Collide (1994).

Thanks, I'll look into the "Suggest New Bands" area.  Actually, your feedback was what I was looking for.  I realize that this site does not include the strictly electronic music of ambient or techno style artists.  The guys I am suggesting, although they are generally solo electronic/keyboard musicians, produce music which is typically very melodic and often bombastic.  The main difference from symphonic prog is that they do not use drums and guitars, rather they generate electronic rhythm sounds to compliment their keyboard and synthesizer themes.  Their music is equivalent to some of the more progressive releases of Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michele Jarre, Kraftwerk and Synergy, which are all included here.  I'll give it a shot.

First, you can search the forum for previous suggestion of those artists. When yo do that, make sure to change from "Last Six Months" to "Any Time" in the search timeline.

If you can't find any previous threads, then you need to open new threads in the "Suggest New Bands"area.

Just a suggestion, if the artists you named are modern techno/electro artists, then their chances to get in are quite small.

Welcome to the forum!

Maybe they weren't suggested so far.
