Electronica Anyone?
McTaggart:
It depends whether it's poppy like Belle and Sebastian and The Fiery Furnaces or poppy like Kylie. I take my definition of pop as something generally light and catchy.
Bringing it back on topic: How awesome is synthpop? Ladytron are so much more awesome than I remember.
Delph:
I have no clue if they qualify as electronica, but I'm bloody well gonna list them anyway :p Depeche Mode!
The single of the new album sounds at least remotely promising that it won't be such an utter piece of junk like Exciter...
Also worthy of special mention, Frank Klepacki for excellence in the field of awesome music. (Like the entire Command & Conquer soundtrack with the exception of Generals) you can listen to high quality versions of all his songs at http://www.frankklepacki.com
Further more:
Apoptygma Berzerk
Delerium
Front Line Assembly
KMFDM, though I mostly stick to WW3, I find a lot of the early cd's too repetetetetetetetive
Switchblade Symphony
The Cynic Project (some of their songs can be downloaded at http://www.tcpmusic.com/
Blue Man Group
Front 242
Skinny Puppy
New Order
and various game soundtracks esspecially the soundtracks of Unreal Tournament, UT2003. Both Ragnarok Online and The Sims 2 have some very catchy tunes as well.

Oh jesus, kill me now. How did I forget Delerium?

Then new album, Hau Rock, is really good. I never got around to WW3, because the few prior to it (XTORT, ADIOS) were pretty lame.
Also, I loves me some Squarepusher and Plaid. I'm quite surprised the lack of Squarepusher in this thread (except Martin). It's like Richard D. James spent a few months listening to nothing but jazz. And I highly recommend Plaid to everyone here. This is the group I automaticly think of when I hear the term IDM.
And, to join the list bands crew: Daft Punk, Massive Attack, Tricky, Bjork (if she counts here), Aphex Twin, Autechre, Boards of Canada, Wagon Christ, Zero 7.

Wagon Christ is fucking awesome. Ninjatune put out some great stuff :D
WWWIII is so far superior to Xtort it's hard to believe you're listening to the same band. Give it a chance ;)
