I'm just starting into Electronic... Can you help? (depeche mode, ambient)

phoenixflames · 11-29-2005, 01:32 PM

So there is already a thread near to this, but I have a question thats a little more specific. I'm just newly discovering the whole "electrionic" spectrum of music. I've been listening to Depeche Mode, NIN, and Minus The Bear (which I suppose is more Indie-Electronica). I would like some recommendations for some bands I should look up.

The part thats spacific:
I guess I'm looking for something with a more traditional song structure (prog is ok too though), not a whole lot of the same thing said over and over again (or played over and over again for the whole song). I don't mind it being all electronic or incorporating regular instruments in as well. From what I know about genres I think I like Ambient as well. Indie-Electronica is good too. New bands or old bands are fine.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
