Surely this'll prove temporary MEK? For me, maintaining a good balance of techno/electronic with 'everything else' is essential to keep one's interest going in both. Healthy balanced diet kinda thing! :-)
Maybe some recommendations from both sides might help.... (some relatively new, some less so.) 'Electronic' 1. 'Lifeworks' compilation - I anticipate this staying to close to hand for months. 2. 'Data Mining In Anthilla' - Gosub (very dense and very sweet, impossible to get bored of this electro, I think so anyway.) 3. 'Trans Canada Hi-Way' Boards of Canada - download-able in FLAC from Bleep.com if you can't be bothered to digitise it! '"Not" Electronic' 1. 'Antics' by Interpol - unadorned funky NY rock - is it me, or are there really drum & bass-style breaks on this?!? 2. 'Eraser' - By Thom Yorke - easy to dismiss, but well worth getting to know very well. (You do have to have already gotten over his whine though!) 3.'Hot Funky & Sweaty - The Sound of Heavy Soul & Funk' compilation. OK, vinyl snobs step-off whilst people like me with not so well-furnished pockets but still an open mind continue discovering. This is a good place to start and the title says it all. (Late '60s, '70s) 4. 'Tago Mago' - Can. Why not?
