Techno/Electronic Recommendations?

[Strider]

I'm wondering, can anyone help me out, and give me some names of some good techno/electronic songs? I've really been getting into this kind of music, it rocks!

And since we're talking about techno/electronic music, there's this new kick-ass song from Paul Oakenfold, anybody know the name of it?

Gimme me more info on the Oakenfold song.

The last single he had out, that I know of, is Starry Eyed Surpirise, but I don't keep up like I should,

That album - Paul Oakenfold's Buuka is very good and worth checking out.

The new MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO album is out, and it is a great dive into trip hop. The album is titled "R.U.O.K." and features Alex Patterson from The Orb. Look into this band. They provided a track from their album "Actual Sounds and Voices" for the Matrix. Be cautious of some of their older tracks as electronic music has a tendency to date itself. If you are going to go back in their catalogue, check out the songs, "Circles", "Lead Asbestos", or "Son of Sam".



IMHO, you can't go wrong with THE ORB (little fluffy clouds)


Also check out UNDERWORLD, AIR, older LORDS OF ACID, THIEVERY CORPERATION, KRUDER & DORFMEISTER, AVALANCHES, TIMO MAAS, CHEMICAL BROTHERS...

Check out the Freestylers -- they are probably the most unoriginal, but I give them major props for ripping off the best stuff.

Boards of Canada, Gus Gus, Dj Keoki, Sasha and john Digweed, John Kelly, [b] Future Sounds of London, Orbital, Perpetuous Dreamer, Daft Punk, Dirty Vegas, Carl Cox, Dj Micro,

Strider, you tell me what you like and we'll figure out more stuff that you might like. There are so many different moods with electronic stuff - techno/dance, downtempo, jungle, dub, breakbeat, ambient, blah, blah, blah.... I don't know what's what anymore, but can tell you that there's some groovin' stuff out there. People underestimate this music as just being a bunch of, "Boom-chick-Boom-chick-Boom-chick" and yeah, maybe that's part of it, but there is also a part of Jimi Hendrix that is nothing more than guitars going, "Beowwww!"

I think it's pretty admirable for someone to go on such a quest to look further.

Wow! Thanks for all the info, Bubba. I really appreciate it. Anyway, that was the Paul Oakenfold song I was thinking of, I think I might just go out and buy the album one of these days.

I will definitely check out all that music, and see if I like it. Oh, as for what I like, I don't really know how to decribe it. But I just love anything with great beats and sounds, or anything that's really energetic and catchy.
