--- Quote from: Shibboleth ---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
--- End quote ---


Autechre have released about 8 ablums and 6 EPs, only one EP of which was noise. Most of it is IDM (I guess Amber is ambient). You kinda missed IDM completely in fact, which is the category I'd put all his example album under. I'd put Wolf Eyes or Merzbow as Noise examples.
Dance is a catchall as well, not a genre.
Prodigy and Leftfield could be classed as Rave, Big Beat or Techno, but certainly not Drum n Bass. Not nearly high enough BPMs, not to mention a general lack of breakbeats. I'd but Bad Company and Roni Size as DnB examples.
House and Trance I won't fuck with you on, as I don't know shit about them (excpet Psy-trance. I quite like psy-trance. Infected Mushroom and Space Buddha spring to mind)

So. Uh. Well done for pointing out that Electronica covers a ton of sub-genres, which really did need to be stated. But, you know, get your example artists right.

Shibboleth:
I'm a big fan of Autechre, I've got 7 of their discs. My classification of 'Noise' is probably wrong, but that's what I would classify 'Noise' music as. (The sound made when the parts from a 747 which disintegrated at height hit the ground) :) I'll have to listen to your examples.

I should also have put The Orb under ambient. Probably suits the genre better than Plastikman.

I would consider Rave and Big Beat and Jungle as sub-genres of Drum and Bass. Roni Size is a good choice for pure D&B. I was just picking artists which were in my CD collection, and it's a bit top-heavy in Techno and Ambient.
