Reccomend me some electronica

Hello. I have £500 and yes, it will all be spend on music.
So pleeease reccomend me some electronica albums.

To get an idea of what Im into, and I hate putting labels on
things too, but I hope that you will spot some sort of
pattern, or some common qualities present in my preferred
artists:

I love quite "hard" stuff like Vsnares, Squarepusher,
Aphex.
I really like more "experimental" stuff, like Leafcutter
John and Faultline.
I also like more downtempo stuff like BOC, Remote Viewer,
Murcof, and I love Brothomstates's Claro.

Basically most things glitchy, bleepy, hissy, crackly and
electronic, with weird rythms and time signatures, and
anything thats really difficult to program;)

Autechre are probably my favourite band ever.

I DO NOT like (most) of the stuff by Chris Clark, Plaid,
Mira Calix, Astrobotnia, Red Snapper, Nightmares on Wax,
Ladytron, etc. I also hate 4 to the floor beats very muchly.
I do not like repetitive beats and I try to avoid stuff
where a lot of traditional, or "acoustic" instruments are
used. (I particularly hate the sound of the guitar and snare
drum).

I apologise for the huge generalizations, but its the only
way. Thank you very much.

You like glitchy beepy hissy crackly and electronic but you
dont like Chris Clark? All those words make me think of
Clarence Park.

This is hard... maybe Bogdan Raczynski - Thinking Of You...
Do you want reccomendations from your named artists or new
artists?

Gridlock, gridlock and gridlock.

Thanks! Yes, I would prefer recomendations from new artists,
not from the ones I listed. Hmm - Clarence Park - I admit I
dont actually own it so I havnt heard it very properly, I
will give it another go - judging from ceramics in the bomb
its not exactly my type of thing. But thanks, keep them
coming!

for hard core check out some stuff @
http://www.bloodyfist.com.au .

i recomend chiastic slide by autechre if you dont already
own it.

also the smak double pack has alot of interesting stuff on
it (skam.co.uk).

fyuti by bola , you may find a snare or 2 in it but it is
beautiful electronic music especialy track 8, horizophon.

mum's first album, yesterday was dramatic - today is ok.
glitch and downtempo.

but seriously, folks:

fennesz - endless summer
nobukazu takemura - scope
(esp. the track 'icefall' -- i think this fits yr style
well)

as for boc-ish mellow electronica, try christ's ep
pylonesque

also you really should give chris clark's two full length
eps (clarence park + empty the bones of you) a second
listen.. sounds right up yr alley.

mum is excellent but if:

maybe not for you. it's almost folk-y electronica.. nice
strings.. kinda lush.

"stengel" by sogar on list records. improvised waves of
warm sparkly static and lights.

"brownout" by phoenecia on schematic records. dark shadowy
liquid sounds grown in ae mulch under a 20 watt bulb, unique
and absorbing.

"parts" or "solid state" by funckarma on dub recordings.
cut from ae cloth but with a very recognizably individual
sound, moody melodies and tricky programming.

"succour" by seefeel on warp. shadowy post techno with
grit, actually largely played with filtered and tweaked live
instruments. does use some repetition, though.

"scope" by nobukazu takemura on thrill jockey. whole
compositions completely shattered and stitched back together
in unpredictable patterns, and other similarly memorable
inventions.
