<description><![CDATA[Aphex Twin follows Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Describing his music becomes a web of contradictions. For every violent and vitriolic "Come to Daddy," there is an absurd children's song such as "Milkman." For every acid anthem ("Digeridoo"), there is a frazzled complex of rhythms ("INKEY$"). For every surging, grinning dance track such as "Donkey Rhubarb," there is the near stillness of "Weathered Stone" or "Parallel Stripes." A track-by-track breakdown may not equate a balance of yin and yang, but throughout his career as Aphex Twin, AFX, Caustic Window, Polygon Window, the Dice Man and countless other pseudonyms, Richard D. James has created what is perhaps the widest spectrum of electronic sound by a single artist.

<description><![CDATA[Throughout the '90s, Autechre have been instrumental in disrupting the flow of the mix. The Sheffield duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown produces electronic sounds that shoot off in seemingly random trajectories, but like a fractal, there is an apparent order that stems from the chaos. Autechre are nothing if not rhythmic, but their rhythms are disjointed and angular. Yet each fibrous beat and twisting pulse weaves together to form a textile of texture. The components of their sound are unmistakably Electro, but each beat is so fractured, each note is so out of context, the lyrical flow of an artist like Mantronix is left as a shard of broken glass on the pavement. But the beauty of Autechre's deconstruction is that there is little as enchanting as a glimmering pile of broken glass, however much an abstraction of its former self.

<description><![CDATA[Tom Jenkinson's alter ego, Squarepusher, aims straight for the techno jugular. Experiments in electronic glitch and manic sound collage dominate, with nods to noise, neo-jazz and drum 'n' bass. Jenkinson grew up with the sounds of jazz greats Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and Art Blakey playing around the house. The son of a jazz drummer, Jenkinson is a skilled bassist and multi-instrumentalist whose experimental listening music was first discounted by some who felt his music was a perversion of jungle and drum 'n' bass. However, after releasing a debut album through Richard D. James' Rephlex label, Squarepusher found an audience among post-acid house fans. In 1995, Squarepusher joined Warp Records, where he's remained ever since, continuing to confound and delight with every record. A trickster he may be, but he's serious about his restless quest for re-invention.

<description><![CDATA[Along with associate Manchester electronic musicians like Autechre and SKAM labelmates Gescom and VVM, Dylan Nathan's Jega is an incredibly complicated structure of sharp, angular rhythms that precariously support teetering Synth Pop keyboard lines. He creates the jittery seizures of Drum 'n' Bass with cool Electro beats, and the staccato attack of his rhythms are the 303 equivalent of a machine gun emptying its clip into the air after being dropped on its buttstock. While these blips and bleeps fire off with alarming irregularity, Nathan coats them in both charming coolness and humorous awkwardness. The mathematics engineering of his music betrays his training as an musical architect -- he builds a near-prison for Techno. But Jega is no Panopticon, for there is no discernable center or perspective. All sight lines are obfuscated.

<description><![CDATA[Good luck trying to pin down Kid606 (Miguel Depedro). The Venezuelan-born musician was just barely out of adolescence when he began to turn San Diego's experimental music community on its head with a homegrown style fusing the fury and irreverence of punk with the electronic sonics of jungle and techno. After moving to San Francisco in the '90s, he -- along with likeminded mischief-makers such as Kit Clayton, Sutekh, Gold Chains and Matmos -- helped put the Bay Area on the map as a mecca for electronic music's free spirits. Long before Girl Talk, Kid606 was drenching his laptop in the sweat of frenzied crowds, playing a sly, pop-loving strain of high-energy dance music. But Kid606 has never been <I>just</I> a prankster. While he's prone to snarky titles ("Luke Vibert Can Kiss My Indie-Punk Whiteboy Ass") and his music often revels in fluorescent samples and breakneck tempos, he's also capable of the tender, contemplative I.D.M. of <I>P.S. I Love You</I>. His Tigerbeat6 label, meanwhile, is one of America's great electronic indies, encompassing a roster as diverse as Pimmon, Numbers, Knifehandchop, Black Dice and the Bug.

<description><![CDATA[London has bred many great Techno artists (more specifically the artists on Warp); Ed Handley and Andy Turner of Plaid are among the ranks. In the early '90s (during the time they were in the Techno outfit the Black Dog with producer Ken Dowie), the pair recorded a series of EPs that would later be re-released in 2000 as the double disc "Trainer." Plaid's live performances are complete multi-media experiences powered by laptops. Their deep minimalist Electro-driven Techno is sequenced with video of abstract and repetitive urban and natural landscapes, a la Philip Glass.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What separates Matmos from the rest of the rapidly proliferating "electronica" movement is a notorious lack of convention. Each Matmos track is a pristine moment, unpredictable and full of risk. Listening to Matmos is to navigate foreign territory; each turn is a new moment of discovery. Connected to experimental outfits like IAO Core, DISC, Lesser and X/I, Matmos' Drew Daniel and M.C. Schmidt do not tweak electronic music for its own sake, but rather as a core strategy for creation. Rhythms, loops, and samples of breathing and crayfish neural tissue are coupled with keyboards and acoustic instruments, resulting in lush explorations of the implicit potential of sound found in household objects and consumer products. Matmos' tracks make the "unmusical" musical -- sustained drones and abrupt interference drift without apparent structure, flowing fluidly from the warm and familiar to the uncanny and unlikely.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Prize Fighter Inferno is the side-project of Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez. As fans of that C&C music factory well know, Sanchez' imagination knows no bounds. Like his other band, this project is a vehicle for telling the story of a fictional time and place -- Sanchez' own personal <i>Star Wars</i>. Musically speaking, however, Prize Fighter relies more on computer beats and bleeps than Coheed's mighty rock theatrics. The music is more subdued, but Sanchez' wet, reedy vocals and fantastical lyrics are front and center for both.

<description><![CDATA[You might not have expected that incendiary '90s indie rockers Six Finger Satellite would spawn a dance-music revivalist. But that's the transformation that 6FS guitarist John MacLean went through after the band folded in the wake of its singer's death and he eventually hooked up with former 6FS sound engineer James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. MacLean debuted his articulated, Latin-leaning alias on Murphy's DFA label with 2002's "By the Time I Get to Venus," a rollicking anthem that splits the difference between Detroit techno and dance-punk. Three years later, <I>Less Than Human</I> proved even more ambitious, pulling together elements of Italo disco and Chicago house in a combined love letter to classic dance music and vintage synthesizers. He really hit his stride with 2008's "Happy House," its euphoric piano loops jibing precisely with a classic-house revival. Nancy Whang, the song's vocalist, assumed a starring role on 2009's <I>The Future Will Come</I>, a retro-obsessed effort that also finds MacLean stepping out of his comfort zone as a singer.

<description><![CDATA[Combining a probing, experimental nature with a prankster's sense of humor, Mike Paradinas' work as Mu-Ziq is a perfect case study in the trajectory of cutting-edge '90s electronic music. Drawing inspiration from points as far afield as Krautrock, old school hip-hop, Industrial noise and Drum 'n' Bass, his records are at times maddeningly inconsistent, but always intriguing and often influential. Early albums like <I>Tango N'Vectif</I> deftly juxtaposed harsh mechanical beats with quirky, circular melodies, while later records under aliases like Kid Spatula and Jake Slazenger delved further afield into Soul Jazz, easy listening, Electro and Jungle. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Paradinas approaches his sonic bricolage with a tongue-in-cheek attitude, injecting an air of whimsy into what is often a stiflingly po-faced style. Although the genre-hopping diversity of his early work has become more smoothly integrated with each album, it is this playful aspect of his experimentation that has continued to set his work apart.

<description><![CDATA[Animals on Wheels is the pseudonym of Andy Coleman, one of many English knob twiddlers who are attempting to click and whirr their way to the top of the experimental heap. By creating disjointed Tech-Step rhythms and splicing in analog snippets, jazzy squawks and icy cool melodies, he manages to give electronics a warm breathing heart.

<description><![CDATA[Freeform (known as Simon Pyke to his mum) has been key in Experimental Techno's development since his 1995 debut <I>Elastic Speakers</I>. Using the broken-beat approach of artists like Autechre as a springboard, his productions' distinct musicality and playfulness elevate them above the "difficulty for difficulty's sake" crowd. Through a series of quality releases on labels like Worm Interface, Warp, Musik Aus Strom and Skam, Pyke continually expands his sound, bringing in elements of classic Detroit Techno, Neo-Electro, Drum 'n' Bass and Industrial. This open-minded approach keeps Freeform fresh and challenging, and recent albums prove that Pyke is dedicated to seeking new sounds and expanding musical boundaries.

<description><![CDATA[The Dutch duo of Frans de Waard and Roel Meelkop produce discomforting tracks of glitches and grainy tones that stand the fine hairs on the back of your neck on end. Like a field recording from Nikola Tesla's lab, electrostatic pops and hisses arrange themselves into loose percussive loops. They are not Ovalesque digital glitches, but analog collisions and their debris. Undulating "notes" timidly scratch at the surfaces of these recordings, but they are no more tonal than they are rhythmic. Each fragile sound seems slightly imprecise and gives the impression that these are not compositions, but documents of mysterious, organic emanations.

<description><![CDATA[Rephlex artist Chris Jeffs' output as Cylob is like an exuberant child smashing out an Erik Satie piano suite on a toy xylophone with a hammer. Rhythms peer into the mix at irregular intervals to produce irregular time signatures. Beats snap like a wet towel against an android's bare ass. Soothing synth ambience cradles you against a synthetic wet nurse who feeds you high bandwidth liquid audio. Cylob produces a soundtrack more appropriate to an evening fueled by hiccups than MDMA.

<description><![CDATA[Mika Vainio and Ilpo VÃ¤isÃ¤nen's Pan Sonic is less an austere approach to dance music than a rhythmic examination of sound phenomena. Their tracks are a culmination of terse sounds, pops, clicks and dry tones, cycling through subtle, minute changes. Through repetition, the delicate soundforms are displayed for examination as if in a petri dish, but the method is not entirely dry and scientific: prolonged focus on subtleties in minutia becomes a meditative operation. As Pan Sonic's loops shift slowly, your attention becomes more focused and your hearing becomes more attuned to the possibilities latent in such microscopic sound. Though their music is so acutely mechanical and digital, the shifts in sound become organic. Listening is like attending a heartbeat or watching the color changes in a sunrise.

<description><![CDATA[Drummer, improviser and composer Ikue Mori began her downtown career as the percussionist for classic No Wave outfit DNA in the late 1970s and early '80s. Following the demise of that influential group in 1982, Mori began focusing on improvisation and Avant-Garde composition. She abandoned her traditional drum set for electronic drum machines, crafting and honing a style both intensely percussive and increasingly electronics-oriented. She has collaborated with an all-star cast of musicians throughout her career, including such luminaries as Zeena Parkins, Tom Cora, Fred Frith and John Zorn. Zorn's Tzadik label has released four of her solo records; each is packed with subtle textures and haunting interplay. Simultaneously romantic and bizarre, the works reinforce her reputation as one of New York's finest musicians and composers.

<description><![CDATA[Founders of the German-based Source label, partners David Moufang and Jonas Grossmann, explore the intelligent side of Techno under the moniker Deep Space Network. Electronic distortion surges over carefully placed beats like a wave edging toward an abandoned sandcastle while complex melodies tumble over the mix as caught fish from a bucket. Basslines that are deep and warm seep out from under patient rhythms and forgotten vocal clips. Thoughtfully funky grooves remain spacious and free-floating, allowing the sensitive mind ample room to stretch.

<description><![CDATA[As the Drum 'n' Bass scene has settled down and become complacent with its heretofore radical steps, certain artists continue to forge a path into unknown territory. Hrvatski is an artist creating tracks that, while in line with the aforementioned lineage, still venture far from it. He wields a precise finger on the beatbox as each track unloads methodically arranged layers and evocative pastiches of sounds and snaps. He rises high above the "Amen" break by shifting from cool abstract breaks to Downtempo cut-ups to radical Jungle frenzies. He's not the savior of the sound, but is perhaps the most trustworthy doctor in the hospital.

<description><![CDATA[Two Lone Swordsmen are DJ/remixer/producer Andrew Weatherall in conjunction with Keith Tenniswood. The group formed in 1996 after Weatherall's former envelope-pushing group Sabres Of Paradise dissolved. Two Lone Swordsmen continue on the former group's future funk trajectory, adding a fascinating selection of robotic house patterns and screwed-up beats.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sweet Trip, indeed. Breakbeaten electronica meets Indie pop in a bedroom studio, and the result is this pleasant, mellifluous child. Simple, lilting melodies cascade playfully over tight, Electro-tinged beats while skittering Jungle breaks dance around the edges. Joyful bleepiness.

<description><![CDATA[Thoroughly broken jungle with bloopy, slightly queasy sounding melodies. Blasts of digital noise surge through the mix, the breaks play against each other and the listener's head is hopelessly whiplashed.

<description><![CDATA[Four-piece downtempo act out of Sweden work through an Electro fetish in an IDM format. Simultaneously electronically complex and undeniably pop-friendly, these crispy tunes stay sensitive to your ever-changing moods.
