Techno Anyone?


Does any body on this forum every listen to techno type music? I do a little and am amazed at how good some of it actually sounds and it also tends to be very adventurous. Or are most of you the Tech*NO* crowd which I would understand.

The new aphex twin album (Druqks - not sure about spelling) is really outstanding, blurring the borders between adventerous electronica and modern classical music (if such a distinction ever made sense).
Other good stuff, I recently listened to is Megashira, Bugge Wesseltoft (hard to come by in the US) and Trueby Trio (DJ Kicks).
Thought I would bring this thread back up to the top, just listened to Orbital's "snivilsation" what a great disc!! Haven't listened to it in a long time.
I've had Druqks (or whatever ;) on my to buy list for a while. Many people complained that it didn't really break away from his other stuff, but that's exactly why I want it. I only have SAW2 (on CD, I have numerous mp3s) so Drukqs can act as a compilation for me.
I've also heard good things about Dntel, anyone familiar with him/them?
Yea, I and listened to the ' surrender' by chemical brothers after probably more than year. Better than the 'come with us" which is very good. Orbital I always enjoy, perticulartly the "snivilsation". " bothsides now " is also exceptional. Recently I bought cds from 'the newdeal"(very techno and creative-cool music), "lemonjelly"(ambient), "ladytron"(simple but very beautiful techno and vocal by all girl group), "ben wa"(old school funk meets techno-can't stop it mid-way), "bassmentjaxx" (dance), "air"(simply beautiful), "the avalanches"(dance as you have never heard before), "goldfrapp"(delicious vocal/ambient). "Dzihan and damien"(both 'freaks and icons' and 'refreaked'-the later very much worth buying-a la K&D, Although comparision is not fair. These guys bring a lot new great stuff to the plate).
Any new ones worth checking out Tim?
Nilthepill-Haven't bought much new techno though I have bought some older stuff am I am really(and don't laugh) enjoying Velvet Acid Christ "Fun with Knives" very dark and terra damnata'esque, of course Hybrid "Wide Angle", vocal with light ambient background, also Gatercrasher "discotech generation", sort of typical beats, very listenable and captivating. I am still trying to find something by Goldfrapp, no one here has a freaking clue, I am surrounded by a bunch of freaking idiots!

btw did you mean Orbital "In Sides" or is "Both sides" something I haven't heard of yet? I was dissapointed with "middle of know where" I think most orbital fans were. Also if you get a chance check out XM satelite radio there is a dance channel that is quiet good, it will be appearant :)
