Electronica/Techno
Be My Head:
Hey there, I've realized that I'm severely lacking in the Electronica/Techno department. So I've come for aid from you knowledgeable folks.
Basically I've only listened to a little bit, but so far I've enjoyed NIN's "The Perfect Drug" EP, Boards of Canada, and Aphex Twin.
I'd like it if you could throw out some recommendations based on that. I'm not looking for anything in the realm of "Dance Music", I want nothing that's oversimplified and meant to dance to. I'm looking for stuff that's more Avant-Garde and "out there".
Thank you in advance, I appreciate you guys taking the time to help me out.

Be My Head:
Daft Punk is kind of boring for me.
Another one I forgot to mention is Venetian Snares, I like what I've heard of his stuff.
I'll check out the other ones you mentioned, though, and see if I like them.
ViolentDove:
As far as stuff in a similar vein to Aphex Twin goes, check out Squarepusher.
As far as Venetian Snares goes, maybe check out Aaron Spectre//Drumcorps. Drumcorps is the more breakcore stuff (ie. more like Venetian Snares), Aaron Spectre is the dubstep side of things. Check out his mash-up of NIN's reptile with a whole bunch of heavy dubstep.
If you dig Boards of Canada, you might like DJ Krush. Similar downtempo style, not as warm and fuzzy, though. Also check out Cleptoclectics, and possibly Hermitude on a funkier tip.
Also, basically most stuff on Planet Mu, Warp, Hyperdub and Stones Throw record labels, and maybe Ninja Tune. In fact, go here and listen to a whole bunch of mixes from a whole bunch of people. Particularly the Kper mix, Quarta330's live mix, Aaron Spectre mix, Goth Trad, and um... pretty much everything actually, that site is fucking quality.
P.S. If you don't own one, buy a stereo with a sub or a good pair of headphones. Many types of electronic music have a heavy emphasis on the bass.
