Techno Anyone?

Let me add cople of standout albums. Kraftwelt's 'Electric dimension' and ' retroish'. A kraftwerk like mesmerising performance. K&D's K&D sessions, double CDs album a standout listen too. EUROBASS'S Hypnotic Bass, great from start to finish.That's more than couple of recommendations, Oh well!

seems like we are not talking about 'techno' in particular, but more about what some people might dub as 'electronica'.
so, i'd suggest photek, amon tobin, dj shadow, 4hero, K&D. not only do they usually sound pretty good (e.g. 4hero: two pages), but they also live up to a certain intellectual standard (wow, this sounds corny - not a native speaker, though).

Great suggestions above. My current faves (mostly goaTrance) include:
-Analog Pussy
-Atmospheric DnB
-Eat Static
-Hallucinogen
-Jedi Mind Tricks
-Paul Oakenfold
-BT
-Voice of Buddah

Many can still be easily downloaded.

I don't know if this is propely classified as techno, but no one has mentioned Aphex Twin or Autchre. Plaid's good to.
If dance music ain't your thang, these are a bit more cereberal (Don't flame that, I just mean it's for listening only, not for dancing.)
Not everyone can dig it, but textural/ambiant stuff like Pan_sonic and Oval should be checked out. What they do with your speakers may make you a tad nervous though.

Heh techno folks check out Daft Punk's most resent release it is GREAT. Old school techno at it's best.
