--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Although my opinions are generally ignored,

E Nomine - The darkwave dance band. If you don't count all those other ones. Nachtschicht and Mitternacht are highly recommended. Vocals in German and Latin.
Ewigkeit - More a mixture of electronica and prog rock, but highly, highly awesome. Great use of glitching and sampling.
Angelspit - Ballsy Australian industrial pop with great vocals and particularly distininctive inventive, layered mechanical beats.
Ulver - The later albums by the chimeric beast that is Ulver are brilliant electronica, easily some of the best I've heard. You want to try 'Perdition City', 'Silence Teaches You How to Sing' and 'Themes From William Blakes the Marriage of Heaven and Hell'. Wierd but good.

and I'll back up :wumpscut:

oooh, I'll have to check those out....Angelspit looks like it could be awesome.

salada:
man, that love will tear us apart cover is weak, and really not representative of squarepusher at all.

(which is sad, cos it had the potential to be awesome -- by which i mean tear the original to bits and make an fuckoff burndown mess of it :P)

electronica is music made with electronic things (by my standards, anyway). i've always resented the genre -- it's about as useful as "guitar-drums-and-bass-tronica" might be for classifying pretty much every conventional 3-piece band.

McTaggart:
Air. Moon Safari is a work of pure genious.

kevin.:
figurine - electro-indie, jimmy tamborello of dntel and postal service.

patrick wolf-the "lycanthropy" record. not wind in the wires. british indie/folk-tronica. absolutely amazing. one of my favourite records.

the fitness.. elctro indie-pop. pretty accessible, quite good.

casiotone for the painfully alone - very very lo-fi, single male artist. alright.

her space holiday -good, fairly accessible indie with good samples and melodies. dont know what to say, I love it.

miss kittin- trashy euro- electro. fun if you're in the mood.

broken spindles - joel petersen from the faint. really good.

adult. - moody detroit-style electro, with odd (and good) vocals.

robots in disguise - british girl electro-indiepop. great. get it!

japanese telecom - comparable to adult, but more accessible, less vocal. good.

denki groove - japanese electro/ dancecore, whatever. brilliant. get it.

'Electronica' is a catch-all genre, like 'classical'. It covers many individual genres.

Here are some of the major 'electronica' genres, and some artists who represent the genre best (IMO)

Dance - I hate this genre, so I can't really suggest anyone.
Techno - Orbital
Ambient - Plastikman
Noise - Autechre
Drum and Bass - Prodigy, Leftfield
House - Derrick May
Trance - Astral Projection

There are many other genres and sub-genres (especially in House, Dance, and Trance genres (see goatrance, hardtrance, darktrance and psytrance). I'd suggest listening to some of the major genres above, picking which ones you like the most, then getting advice as to other good artists in that genre.
