And i am looking for some recommendations


I recently purchased Mezzanine by Massive Attack and i love that.

I alse enjoy some Aphex Twin and New order

What genres/artists/albums should i look into as basic introduction to electronic music?

oh yeah.. ive heard a bit about them. tell me more

what songs/albums?

sigur ros
boards of canada
beefcake
portishead
dj shadow
four tet
funckarma

Well at the time i first started listening to massive attack i was also listening to nightmares on wax, portishead, fluke, orbital, underworld, up bustle and out, transglobal underground, sneaker pimps, morcheeba, chemical brothers, leftfield, and plastikman.. among other things.. And from there I spread into a ton of other music.

if you like Massive Attack you will most likely appreciate the (in my opinion) more artistic Portishead. if you go a bit further you might even like Arab Strap, but that is if you really want to get into the storytelling aspect of deep emotional and stripped down electronic jazz groovy soul textures. much like the White Stripian Massive Attack...perhaps that was the worst thing ive ever posted, but i'll stick to my gut response.

perhaps you'd like to check out the Sneaker Pimps as well.

okay, thanks for the advice guys

try Joy Division as well. and i was about to mention the Smiths (oddly enough..because for some reason New Order made me think of Morrissey's voice..but i see you have already discovered and enjoyed Morrissey's music in your signature :P)

also glad to see you like Radiohead. im really just a gucci little piggy though

old depeche mode is very good (music for the masses, violator) too.

already into the smiths (see my signature?) and joy division, some of my favourite bands
