Sigur Rós!  Pretty chill stuff.  To see if they're your cup o' tea, check out the track   Svefn-g-Englar.  I especially enjoy the album ().

Also check out Boards of Canada (The Campfire Headphase; Geogaddi).

Others:  Carbon Based Lifeforms, Shpongle, ISHQ (Cool track:  Bhakti), FC Kahuna, STS9, Lemon Jelly.

Dark side of electronic:  Robert Rich, Steve Roach, ANAHATA, Adham Shaikh.

HI Chinaski:
I like Ambiemt Music, but I know basically just Steve Roach, then I wonder why you consider Steve Roach and these artist being Dark Side??
Thanks

[Chinaski]

Dark (to me) = far more intense.  Much of what I call "Dark" reminds me of floating around in space, untethered, and without a clear path home.  I suppose others may fly tethered?!  Or melt into their comfy chairs.

Steve Roach example:   In the Catacombs (Again) from the album Throne of Drones.

I could've just said "Intense" as a descriptor instead but it's not as colorful!

How about we call it "Melt" Electronica?

[FullRangeMan]

Thanks pal for your reply, I may no apt to label SR, maybe I could call his music as ''organic''.
But The magnificent Void is not Organic at all, it seems to be cosmic and astronomical as Karajan at the BPO.
Seems SR is a composer in constant change.

Hi.  First post.  As I love this musical genre, I'd like to mention a couple of artists that might interest some of you.

Air - Pretty much all their albums is great, except for "10,000 Hz", which I rarely ever listen to
Zero 7 - All albums
William Orbit - Pieces in a Modern Style 2
Massive Attack - I've been listening to "Heligoland" quite a bit lately.

Looking forward to reading other suggestions.

Looking for Electronic Music....looks like the place to be this weekend is Miami....The Ultra Music Festival...

Yesterday...

Kraftwerk....

New Order....

And the DJ played....

[emac]

I 2nd the Lemon Jelly suggestion.  Well recorded, quirky, and fun.  Too bad they aren't producing anything together any more.

And if anyone is interested in good old fashioned party-type breaks, take a look at the Stanton Warriors.

I really love some of their remixes and their recent album, The Warriors, is terrific.

Maybe you would like these industrial master pieces from Kluster, when I listen Kluster in 1970s years I instantly be in love with this band.
After Conrad Schnitzler departured, remain only Dieter Moebius and Hans Joachim Roedelius; so the now duet change the band name to Cluster.

Kluster: Eruption (1970, first album to my account): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvn6c0wZY_w

Cluster: Zwei-Osterei (1970, second album): http://www.amazon.com/Zwei-Osterei-Kluster/dp/B000001D7N/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1333107730&sr=1-2

Cluster: Klopfzeichen (1971, third album): http://www.amazon.com/Klopfzeichen-Kluster/dp/B000001D7M/ref=sr_1_4?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1333107730&sr=1-4

All beyboards are real analogue instruments(no cheap digital crap), and concrete music hardware, so the music timbre is a sweet bless.
Cluster are everythibg Kraftwerk could not be, extraordinarie music, and near a hundred of live and studio albums, I unknow a Cluster album with bad music.

Dieter Moebius, the boring Dorit Chrysler theremin girl and Hans Joachim Roedelius.

[eclein]

Dorit really made me look at this genre a tad differently...LOL....seriously keep the recommendations coming...I like floating either way...hehe....stuff like, heck I don't know what like??  LOL....I'm thinking downtempo, space, float, recliner, verge of sleep music. Hows that? is there such a category??

I got tons of Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk(some), Gary Numan(lots), Orbital, The Tron soundtrack guys??? Chemical Bros?? and out there progressive rock- which I also need to find more of.

[elasticnorseman]

Downtempo? Give a listen to múm and Sigur Rós. Both from Iceland and, while not necessarily dub, will take you for a ride.

also from Iceland, try  Jóhann Jóhannsson
