Band/musician names are wikipedia links, so click away!

I'm going to kick it off with one of my favorite genre's of all time, Goa trance !
Astral Projection - Aurora Borealis http://youtube.com/watch?v=M6GRhco-Q5U

Just let it play in the background as you browse for a while and see if you enjoy it. Hopefully you'll pick up on a bit of the difference between this and that mainstream techno sound you might characterize as such.

Contrast that with something that's a bit different, an IDM , downtempo triphop, ambient:
Boards of Canada - Music is Math http://youtube.com/watch?v=F7bKe_Zgk4o

Another IDM, drum and bass:
Amon Tobin - Proper Hoodidge http://youtube.com/watch?v=JtWasI8CpQ8

An ambient:
M83 - Carresses http://youtube.com/watch?v=iENl3L-5QU8

Downtempo, triphop:
Bonobo - Kota http://youtube.com/watch?v=lTrzTk7vXM0

Ambient, downtempo, triphop:
Air - Run http://youtube.com/watch?v=BZT9t6oMBhI

Goa:
Juno Reactor - Masters of the Universe http://youtube.com/watch?v=n01oW4bMA4E

Triphop, ambient, chillout:
Massive Attack - Teardrop http://youtube.com/watch?v=fG8eQBSp9Ao

Most of the ones I just posted are artists/bands who I have been keeping track of for quite a while. Boards of Canada might be the most recent addition.

It's difficult to find a subdivision of electronic music to like. Personally a lot of trance doesn't do it for me. I also don't very much like industrial, hardcore, techno, or jungle. I prefer the tunes along the lines of the genre's attached to the aforementioned songs.

ah fuck, I missed a colon:

Astral Projection

edit: now with revisions, I updated the original post ;)

Downtempo, triphop:
Röyksopp - Poor Leno http://youtube.com/watch?v=-_jhdZoPW1Q
