Intelligent Electronic Music

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Moby or Underworld!

Yello is awesome, they provide so much to the listening experience.

Some others, most have already been mentioned:
Daft Punk, Air, Mark Farina, Crystal Method, The Orb, Supreme Beings of Leisure, Prodigy, Thievery Corporaton, Propellorheads, Baldwin Brothers, and Richie Hawtin who also has albums under the moniker Plastikman

I like the Mr. Oizo recommendation, his experimentation with vinyl is off the wall and in the right state of mind...off the hook.

Also, some progressive rock bands which I recommend: Pan American, Trans Am, Tortoise, Ui

Thanks for the link Wayne - listening to it now, great music.

I was in the UK when Tangerine Dream came on the scene and remember getting spaced out in my youth with:
Alpha Centauri, Zeit, Atem, Phaedra & Rubycon.
Saw them live a couple of times and the build up to a crescendo as the songs progress was impressive.

Which then lead to Terry Riley - Rainbow In Curved Air

A British copy of Tangerine Dream called Zorch had minimal commercial success - I had a tape of one of their concerts and see they have a couple of CD's:

Glad you like it, The Chill is my favorite show to wind down after a long week.

If you like meditative music check out Brainwaves from 6:00 am - 8:00 am every Saturday morning. A great way to wake up, I put it on at 6 and doze and dream until 7 then slowly start the day with Brainwaves in the background.

Actually all day Saturday KXCI has excellent programming.

if you like the feeling of bliss try music by NEU, Mobius and Cluster.

Like all music, electronic music is diverse (D&B, Acid, Dubstep, Experimental and so on). Ones "electronic music" can be someones "pop music". There are some many artists/groups that cross musical boundaries. There is a lot of good music that can introduce you to the "genre".

If you like The Knife, you might like Crystal Castles.

Yep, I was kind of lukewarm on The Warning when it came out, but I now recognize that it is indeed a great album.

Check out The Notwist's Neon Golden for a similar vibe.

I was a big fan of !!! too, but Myth Takes was a bit of a letdown for me after Louden Up Now.

I personally love Prefuse 73. I think it may fall more into the Hip Hop DJ arena but he has a new album coming out.
