Well being an electronic fan, how could I not mention the obvious one?

Aphex Twin

But I refuse to worship.

Also, I guess, early ORB, and even FFWD, Rave tunes.

More recently, Autechre.

And more recently still, getting further out there, into realms of pure digital noise, accoustic recordings, some of the sounds of http://www.alansondheim.org/

Amy Winehouse... sorry she's just good... It is the only artist from who you better download the songs then buy it.... Her Father at least has said that we shouldn't buy anything from here anymore because of her addictions... mmhh

I just looked her up on Wikipedia. My birthday is the day before hers. I've only heard one of her songs. Her voice sounded good. But her dad said not to buy her music? That's funny.
