Nice to see I'm not the only one with Xerophonics as an X entry.

this is actually a trick thread to see who people think of first: autechre or aphex twin.

A = Alva Noto/Alio Die/Arovane
B = Beefcake
C = CoH/Cylob
D = Doormouse
E = Eight Frozen Modules/Enduser
F = Funkstorung/Fennesz/Frank Bretschneider/Funckarma
G = Gridlock
H = Henrik Nordvargr Bjorkk
I = Ishq
J = Joel Tammik/Johnathon Coleclough
K = Karsten Pflum
L = Loess
M = Markant
N = Namlook (Pete Namlook)
O = Oval
P = Pub/Pan Sonic/Proem
Q = Quinoline Yellow
R = Richard Devine/Raison d'Etre
S = Squarepusher/Scanner/Sense

U = Ulf Soderberg (Sephiroth)
V = Vidna Obmana
W = Wagon Christ/Wauvenfold
X = Xabec
Y = Yee-King
Z = Zammuto/Zegunder/Zorn

And not surprisingly, Josh's is the most interesting so far.

I'll have to work on my list, but I'm surprised no-one has picked Quench for that difficult 'Q' position yet. I know I will.
