Alright chimps!

Here is a very far from definitive, non-authoritative and highly subjective mix of electronic mung. I think the most accurate title would probably be 'electronic tracks I enjoyed during 2004 or thereabouts'. Anyway, this is a window on one tangent of my tastes in the area which is more about texture than rhythm, if I get time I'll try and cobble together a sister compendium of rude beatmash. This is all very accessible and supremely easy on the ear.

I'd like to dedicate this to kerble et bumble - I think I mentioned last October that I'd 'sort you out' with a compilation of billowing ambience and then never got around to it. Here tis:

Vol1 - A bomb made of jazz and feathers

Vol2 - A new face in Hull feat. DJ Guts

Awesome. Thanks man.

delia and gavin
DAT politics
black dice

(Of interest to 0.00125% of the board, indulge me a moment.)

I've just attempted to remix a track over breakfast for my friend Paul who records as Strategy (also on kranky). What was a four to the floor disco walloper with clav stabs and handclaps now sounds like someone falling down the stairs.

Edit: Another - A downbeat, wintry wisp of a demo sketch.

Seconded!

yes!

Chris Clark or short "Clark"

body riddle by clark is one of the best electronic albums in a while, really great from start to finish. saw him supporting tortoise last year and he was great live too.

a few electronic artists off the top off my head i'd recommend are

william basinski
jega
venetian snares - the one with a hugarian title
mu ziq
squarepusher - feed me weird things
aphex twin - windowlicker
two lone swordsmen - tiny reminders, stay down
dj pinch - quwaali
skream
lfo
kid 606 - down with the scene/ ps i love you
belong
fennesz
brian eno
goblin
tangerine dream
autechre - incunabula (everything is great but their first album is probably the best place to start)
amon tobin - supermodified (technically more hiphop than electronic but still...)
bjork
the knife
prefuse 73
machine drum
dabrye
drexciya

and last but not least

KRAFTWERK!

phew...

these are some of the artists who are electronic that i listen to on a regular basis

Nathan Fake. He's very good live.

I also like Surgeon, very cold and minimalistic.

The first album by Surgeon - Communications is great, good minimalistic techno....

I'll second that - Chris Clark (or just plain Clark as he's known now) is brilliant stuff.

I especially recommend his 'Ceramics is the Bomb' EP and 'Empty the Bones of You' LP from 2003.
