Music Banter - View Single Post - Somewhat New To Electronia...Could Use Advice

Hey all. I suppose I'll get right to the point- I can't see to put my finger on what all the genres of electronic music truly consist of- I love a lot of music, but my particular favorites have got to be those that are borderline progressive/heavy metal. Opeth, Agalloch, Amorphis, Tool, etc- if you've heard any of them in much detail you probably have a good idea the kind of sound I like. That being said I've recently become interested in some more electronic stuff and it seems I'm pretty into the heavier/darker sound just like my rock stuff...

Here's some songs I've really come to enjoy:

Orbital- Petrol
Fluke- Atombomb
Prodigy- Climbatize, Skylined, Claustrophobic Sting (This is probably my favorite electronic track, period)
Chemical Brothers- Private Psychedelic Reel
Future Sound of London- Dead Cities, Landmass
Also, while I'm not sure of what the songs were I've liked some Infected Mushroom & Astral Projection.

Drawing any parallels that you might suggest genres and/or specific artists/songs? Any suggestions are much appreciated.
