Though it stretches the "Techno" label, I'd suggest you look into some Goa Trance. A good band to start with is Infected Mushroom. Another is Dark Soho, though they have a bit harder feel. There's also Mumbo Jumbo and, with my vote for best band name ever, Growling Mad Scientists.

You probably would also like Lords of Acid. They're classified under 'music you'd not play at any wedding'.

If you'd like to get a fairly large list of music similar to Infected Mushroom, let me know.

Oooh, don't be shy, post 'em up!

(And if it's *that* big, a plain-text file as attachment would work...)

Not so much being shy as not wanting to post a list if nobody had interest.

Most of this is Goa / Psychadelic Trance. Some of it is Israeli style. Some might be a little wierd, or a little noisy for some (I tried to weed it out). No even close to a full list of what I have in that style right now, just a sampling; WAYYYY too much homework tonight to really dig in.

Not quite what you were looking for, but it may open your ears to something new. The track listings reveal the artists names, if you can keep a good count.

I'll sit down and work out the intro and outro times on all the songs some day - sooner if people want it (hint: ask me).

I don't claim to have a compete cross-section of 'techno' there - I'm still gradually accreting breakbeat, drum and bass, and industrial. But I do think that you may find it easiest to just download some or all of mixes and pick what you like. It's not like it costs you anything (unless you have a slow connection... ) so you can discard those you don't like and be none the worse off .

It might not serve as a good definition of 'Techno', but you can have a look at most of my collection at Discogs. I say 'most' because I'm still waiting for a lot of the Australian CDs I've got to be moderated. I've got 9 pending and about 25 in draft mode waiting for pending slots to become available, and about another 10 or 20 that I still haven't drafted up. I can heartily reccommend Discogs to anyone interested in virtually anything Electronic (or Hip Hop), as much for the Insta-Sharable-Web-Discography above as its precision and detail.

And, of course, I always like to hear what people think of my mixes (hint hint!).

Have fun,

Paul

Wow. I've heard of.... two of those (Shpongle and Astral Projection). :-P

Heh. Shpongle is very good. Tokyo Ghetto Pussy is actually Jam & Spoon under a different name, and is equally good in it's own way.

Right now, though, one of my faves is Dark Soho. Their track Uine Saracomm is my "[censored] [censored] son of a [censored]! I'm late and need to do 95 down I-25 at noon!" track on the empeg.

Although the version I have is a bit harder than the sample linked.
