You want good electronic? Listen to this.
Hidden Orchestra,
Archipelago. This is a sort of orchestrated electronic jazz album. Kind of. Sort of. It's hard to describe. The band is made up of two percussionists, Tim Lane and Jamie Graham (using both acoustic and electronic drums), violinist and pianist Poppy Ackroyd, and band leader Joe Acheson on bass and electronics. The band is supplemented by a wide variety of samples, field recordings, and guest artists. It's seriously, seriously good. I'm only halfway through and I can tell it's going to be in my top ten albums of the year.
