What's some good aggressive-sounding electronica along the lines of the Prodigy?

I'm looking for some more glitchy music kind of like Girl Talk's Unstoppable (although not neccessarily mashups, I've already checked the Girl Talk thread) or 65daysofstatic's Unrealased/Unreleasable stuff. I like Aphex Twin/Amon Tobin/Flashbulb/Enduser/Venetian Snares but I'm looking for something a bit different. Any suggestions?

di.fm ... there's a ton of sites with better dj mixes and more genres but they're usually podcasts or downloads rather than streaming

Can someone recommend good Trip-Hop/Electronic Jazz bands like Bitter:Sweet, Lovage and Portishead?

I'm looking for something with a female singer, and with all that pompous elegant theme. Bitter:Sweet is my favorite band right now and I'm afraid I've already heard too much of their only two albums.

I'm sure someone's asked this before, but what's some good music to set the mood/get laid to?

Looking to get into some "house" music. I downloaded "World's Greatest Electro House" from amazon for $3, and have fallen in love.

Anyone got anything that would go well with this?
http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Greatest-Electro-House/dp/samples/B000NDJSX4/ref=dp_tracks_all_3#disc_3 Money in the Bag or Consequences....are probably two of my favorites in the 3.5+ hour mix.

More gritty, aggressive pop music would be nice.

I can delve into the "required listening and classics" of hip hop on my own, but who should I be listening to that is actually making good and innovative hip hop in 2009?

I know very very little about techno or electronica (?) music but I always enjoy it when I hear a really chill "techno" song. Maybe chill trance song? I don't know. I'd like to get into that world but I don't know where to start. Can anyone recommend me anything?

I'm looking for some really raw and menacing electronic stuff, tracks like Stress by Justice, or Omen by The Prodigy. It's going to be mainly my playlist when I'm running.

I'm looking for this type of music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMivXo7wjhA or at least the genre. Basically, light, relaxing, slow classical music with a light beat.

I've been listening to a lot of noise and drone recently and my favorite track far and away has been Birchville Cat Motel's Beautiful Speck Triumph (shifts into high gear at around the 13-minute mark). I've been trying to find something in noise and/or drone that comes close to achieving that same kind of gorgeous sound, something that I can really only describe as "epic" and "beautiful". The closest I've come to it is Small Christian Victories by the same artist (no link, unfortunately). Any suggestions?

I've been listening to the soundtrack to The Fountain a lot lately and I'm looking for other music that evokes the same emotional response. It doesn't have to be similar stylistically, but anything that is haunting, sorrowful, delicate, lonely.

I'm getting into Trance/d'n'b/Jungle and I'm looking for some really intense music.

Here's an example of what I'm looking for:

quote:

So, I've not been entirely happy with my musical choices for a while. I suspect there's some really great music out there that I would really like, but I just don't know about it. I strongly suspect this because it's been the case in the past. For example, Neutral Milk Hotel is one of my favorite bands. They disbanded in 1999, but I discovered them in 2005 or so. I'd love to discover a band that is actually still making music I love, that I just don't know about yet.

One way to do this, of course, is to put the music I like into Pandora, and see what else comes up. I've been listening to a lot of Pandora, and mostly I've found a few songs here and there I didn't know about and have now downloaded and really enjoy, but I can't say there's a new band I was unfamiliar with but now really like (though, I didn't realize just how much I like Weezer until they kept popping up. I have a Weezer station now, that's my favorite).

So, anyway, my idea was to describe my musical preferences here, and see what suggestions my facebook friends might come up with. I tagged a bunch of people, just because I wanted to make sure they saw this note (some people don't check facebook a lot; others I happen to know are really into music), I want anyone who sees this and feels like they have a good suggestion to fire away.

Alright then, not exactly sure the best way to do this, but I'll start by opening my Itunes to remind me of my favorite artists. In rough order of artists that I've enjoyed listening to lately (i.e., not a statement on overall artistic merit): Nirvana, U2, Neutral Milk Hotel, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Led Zeppelin, Who, Cracker, Weezer, Radiohead, Hole, Aimee Mann, R.E.M. I've also got a soft-spot for good Irish Rock, most notably, the Pogues. Definitely could use some good suggestions here (haven't been all that pleased with many of Pandora's suggestions here).

As for a more stylistic description, I really like hard-driving, yet catchy, guitar-driven music, e.g., Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day. I appreciate more minimalist sounds, i.e., White Stripes (because of Jack White's amazing guitar licks), Spoon (great catchy tunes), but I'm somewhat partial to more of the fuller, Wall of Sound, approach. All else being equal, I definitely favor up-tempo.

It also occurred to me, that there's some bands people might suggest that I already am familiar with and like, just not love, that I didn't mention here. Those include Coldplay, Muse, pretty much all classic rock (Beatles, Eagles, Stones, Clapton, etc.)

Alright, that's more than enough, suggest away!

so I've been listening to a lot of electronic music, and these are my favorite artists so far:

Air
Aphex Twin
Basement Jaxx
Benny Benassi
Dimitri From Paris
Dj Krush
Giorgio Moroder
Kruder and Dorfmeister
Metro Area
The Prodigy
Tricky

I guess I'm looking for more fun/catchy electronic music, I tried some weirder stuff like The Orb and Oval but I don't like it too much. It seems like the artists I like are all over the place and some of them might not even be electronic so I don't know.

any recommendations?

You're looking for Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.

I recently listened to the Shatter soundtrack made by Module and loved it. I've been looking for more but haven't found much that's similar, and I'm a bit lost since I don't listen to much electronic stuff.

Tried some from mistermojo's list and the electronic music guide but haven't really stumbled onto anything similar that grabs me so far.

Looking for music similar to this, preferred without vocals.

Homelands
Aurora
Kinetic Harvest

I hate to be nitpicky on genres, but deathcore and metalcore as electronic music? Seriously?

I'm looking for really minimal music. Electronic or instrumental or, well, maybe vocal, but I can't imagine it. I love the Boards of Canada, and any atmospheric music- I know there's a lot of it- would be good, but good bedtime sounds would be terrific.

I'm looking for some specific stuff:

I'm a teacher, and I play music in my class while the students are independently working. My students are mostly into rap and hip-hop. However, they're mostly into rap and hip-hop that glorifies smoking weed and saying "gently caress" every two words, so I can't play their music in class. Whatever that song is that goes "smoking that weed and singing them dirty rap songs" is gonzo with them right now.

I'd like to get pointed towards some rap that I could play in class, but isn't lame. I know in discussions in threads before I've seen people quote lyrics that were very philosophical and pretty clean. I'd like to show my students that there is music they might like that isn't just about getting high and pussy.

I get all my music from iTunes, so bonus if I can get it there.

Thanks!
