[repeats, adds Sonar Base at the end] I'm having an early middle-age electro upswing:
http://www.discogs.com/release/873781 The Consumer http://www.discogs.com/release/524084 The Consumer http://www.discogs.com/release/187491 Volfram, check the label, Stilleben, also http://www.discogs.com/release/907284 Data Cat, again check the label, it's owned by Legowelt... Which leads me to say, you will need to seek out the proper electro which Legowelt does sooner or later if you haven't already, rather than the italo/chicago type of stuff he does which has electro trimmings. The latter are good imo, but not quite what you're after, I'm sure you know. The two fairly recent silicon scally LPs got mixed reviews but I like 'em - they're quite IDMish. Perhaps a bit too digital-sounding though. This is the one I would recommend to you: http://www.discogs.com/release/892700 I hesitate to give this - but you did say vocoders are OK so long as they're not speaking English! http://www.discogs.com/release/829718 The last two pieces of Urban Tribe vinyl are definitely what you are looking for: http://www.discogs.com/release/936461 http://www.discogs.com/release/952581 I would also check earlier stuff like http://www.discogs.com/release/194099 http://www.discogs.com/release/365605 by Dez Williams, although prepare to be disappointed that he's not had anything new for a while. Finally don't forget: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Sonar+Base He's been doing airy but thought-provoking electro for decades.
