GhostPoet

Scroobius Pip

Tricky

Amon Tobin

[windy_miller]

Saw these lot at WOMAD a few weeks ago and they were absolutely awsome

[windy_miller]

Also I highly recommend the Braids album Native Speaker. The whole album is stunning from start to finish. This is the stand out track for me though

[inkman]

Hey nice 1. These are great. Deep and dark. Just how I like it.

Both are very interesting in different ways.

Will check out more of their stuff

[windy_miller]

Some more artists you could check out

Aphex Twin

Animal Collective

Biosphere

The Field

Fuck Buttons

Future Sound Of London

Kraftwerk

Panda Bear

Pantha du Prince

Ulrich Schnauss

Washed Out

And last but not least, the mighty Venetian Snares. He releases about 2 albums every year, so make plenty of space on your shelf / hard disk

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Here's some alternative music. I can't help but feel that it's not what you're after though!

Warpaint seem to have some substance

Has dubFX had any new material out? He rocked at glastonbury last year (I caught the glade performance but he did a few sets elsewhere over the weekend) and it was still largely the 2009 material mixed and ripped up in a dubstep fashion. Would really like to hear some new material.

I'm an old git, but still have an ear for the avante garde at times, will check out some of the artists listed above myself, thanks for the recommendations.

[Purple Monkey]

If you want experimental, properly experimental- Venetian Snares.

Also check out Clark.

Hawkwind are forty years old now but were also thirty years ahead of their time if that counts?

If you're going down Warpaint route, i'd definitely recommend Alt J and Savages. I expect you might be into Jesus And The Mary Chain anyway, but give them a go. Burial definitely, perhaps the most important electronic musician of the last 15 years.

And Grimes, definitely Grimes.

The new Animal Collective album is out. You can listen to the full album here.

Only listened to it once so far. It's not as instantly catchy as their last effort (Merriweather Post Pavilion). May have to give it a few more listens.

Edit: It's on Spotify too now (it wasn't there yesterday)

Animal Collective – Centipede Hz
