Xpander EPXpander EP by Sasha
This was the first album I ever searched for,xpander is part of the soundtrack from wipeout 3,of wich you can also find the whole soundtrack on the wipeout xl soundtrack.Also very recommended if your a fan of good electronica.
Ambient CollectionAmbient Collection by Art Of Noise

Enviromental,ambient,experimental,engaging. If you like to travel to strange far away places i might recommend this.
LifeformsLifeforms by The Future Sound of London
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $3.26
One of my favourites,i mustve listened to this album over and over too many times to count.Thoroughly enjoyable if you like the experimental.Takes you away to strange places indeed.
AltarAltar by Sunn O)))
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $5.56
Haunting drone in an different sort of way.A joint album by sunn o))) and boris.I like this one to phase out in drone metal goodness.
Honour Valour PrideHonour Valour Pride by Bolt Thrower
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $7.20
Crushing tank metal.Said to be one of their weaker albums but i dont care its still my favourite.
Jelly TonesJelly Tones by Ken Ishii
Buy used from: $0.78
Japanese synth pop grand master at his best as always.If you havnt heard of him you should.
CongotronicsCongotronics by Konono Number One
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $5.29
The new emergent congotronics as done by konono. Massively aggressive electronic beats.konono no.01!!
Microminiature LoveMicrominiature Love by Michael Yonkers Band
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $3.94
New artist to me,psych reminiscent,i find enjoyable though.
Myth of the Love ElectriqueMyth of the Love Electrique by Acid Mothers Temple
Buy new: $37.99 / Used from: $45.32
New era psychedelic from japan mixing new with old.From crazy rock out trip-drone to slow moving sitar goodness.If you like this album youll probably enjoy them all.Trippy...
Emotion VacationEmotion Vacation by Aoa
Buy new: $29.99 / Used from: $6.56
Crazy toxic freakout.This one is fairly good but if you want the good stuff get the album "open" if you dont mind a good cd hunt.
Jigoku GurumaJigoku Guruma by Jigoku Guruma
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $6.49
Sorette karate?...Jigoku guruma I love this band,just the name alone gives it merit.Jigoku guruma is japanese for "hell wheel" a crazy ridiculous wrestling move.Think of the over the shoulder boulder holder guile does in street fighter.Terribly short cd though,they have several more albums if you can track down a japanese merchant i recommend cdjapan.
Growers of MushroomGrowers of Mushroom by Leaf Hound
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $34.95
Lost classic,this band disbanded only after their first album.If you like the heavier 70's rock then id recommend.They did however get back together in the early 90's i think it was.So they have a later second returning of album.
The Man in the ShadowThe Man in the Shadow by Snooze
Buy used from: $3.67
Very sleek indeed.Snooze is top notch at what they do in my opinion,downtempo.If youve heard of cam or fila brazillia they may be abit familiar.
SimsalabimSimsalabim by Mushroom River Band
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $5.41
If you know stoner rock then you might be a little surprised by these guys. Not quite the average stuff. Just all around good heavy rock.
StigmataStigmata by Arch Enemy
Buy used from: $3.11
Bone crushing metal.This is my favorite album by these guys.The lead singer had one of the heaviest voices ive ever heard without sounding too argh argh.Shame he kicked the bucket,rock on man.Id also recommend their newest release "Rise of the tyrant".
Out LoudOut Loud by Boom Boom Satellites
Buy used from: $0.01
Boom Boom satellites are kind of hard to describe for me.If I had to use two words it would be "absolutely enthralling" I heard somewhere that their main influence is jazz but theres a lot of electronics in there too.With stunning results.
RainbowrideRainbowride by Kaptain Sun
Buy new: $12.97 / Used from: $5.95
These guys are just fecking awesome what can i say.Heavy trippy with crazy riffs and blistering vocals.
Meeting in the MistMeeting in the Mist by Alkemyst
Buy new: $47.98 / Used from: $44.99
French metal band,I think they have some of the guys from secret sphere if youve heard,very good album
The Butcher's BallroomThe Butcher's Ballroom by Diablo Swing Orchestra
Buy used from: $69.03
Mysterious,incredibly strange,and very tastefully executed.The sound comes from so many places that i could only say the diablo swing orchestra sounds like the diablo swing orchestra,its its own thing.If you love opera (i know i do now!) and metal and the experimental then this is just for you.Some of the songs strangely have reminisces of duke dastardly vibe to them to me for some reason.
Speed Metal SymphonySpeed Metal Symphony by Cacophony
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $10.00
So you like super-shred guitar solos?Check out the track "concerto" on this album and behold be amazed by shred masters marty friedman and jason becker!Definitely a most enjoyable album if only for the crazy guitar.
Blitzkrieg PopBlitzkrieg Pop by T. Raumschmiere
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $0.01
I have to say this album came off as abit abrasive to me at first but over time it really did grow on me.This is fairly decent if you enjoy a bit more mainstream electronic-rock.
OK CowboyOK Cowboy by Vitalic
Buy used from: $5.94
Just all around good electronica.
OKOK by Talvin Singh
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $0.33
The award winning album by asian artist talvin singh.The title is said to come about because the word o.k. is an international expression.
To Gen KyoTo Gen Kyo by Logic System
Buy used from: $39.99
Super 80's techno cheese.Its the cheesiest!Seriously though hideki mastutake does some good 80's techno.
Molotov LoungeMolotov Lounge by Sonic Subjunkies
Buy used from: $22.50
Industrial techno from the people of atari teenage riot.Feel the riot beats.
Flying WondersFlying Wonders by Homelife
Buy new: $42.99 / Used from: $5.25
I think i heard somewhere that this cd was a combination of many efforts and if it wasnt for the invention of the internet mightve never happened.Many of the composers came from all different parts of the world and came together to make this album.Its been awhile since ive done a read up on this album so dont quote me on that.
The Fifth Release from MatadorThe Fifth Release from Matador by Pizzicato Five
Buy used from: $1.91
Pizzicato five are another group from japan.Their style is mainly shibuya kei.Wich actually translates to shibuya art,the art surrounding the fashionable streets of shibuya in japan.If you like these guys then you might also be interested in bands like buffalo daughter and the artist towa tei.
BricolageBricolage by Amon Tobin
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $2.94
Amon tobin i believe is the work of one man.His name escapes me but i know he hails from south america originally.The style to me is very jazz inspired,but with electronics taking the front seat.Very smooth at times and at other times very aggressive makes for a constantly envolved experience.Theres never really a dull moment on much any of his work wich is why i find him so great.
Samurai Math BeatsSamurai Math Beats by Bogdan Raczynski
Buy used from: $29.99
Playfull and very silly.Give it a try and have some fun.Just good electronica.
Rebore, Vol. 2Rebore, Vol. 2 by Boredoms
Buy new: $44.99 / Used from: $22.23
This is probably one of the best albums ive heard in a long while.Not a single boring moment ever captivating,its the group work of boredoms an ken ishii i believe.Wich make for a not so surprisingly good combination.The sound is ambient,crazy at times with mutterings and strange noises and voices an chirps.Then at other times an all out electronic thrashing.Highly reccommended little gem of a cd.
Co-FusionCo-Fusion by Co-Fusion
Buy new: $33.99
Co-fusion is dual effort with ken ishii.Very worth while.Give it a shot i dare ya.
SkimskittaSkimskitta by Mira Calix
Buy new: $19.98 / Used from: $3.12
Mira calix is a strange yet haunting experience in general.Very toned down almost too quiet at times and other times taking you to places never even considered before,all in a good way.Almost always child like in a strange way with clammerings and mutterings of a girls voice.And loud clunking and clanging of noises coming from i dont know where.
