LCD Soundsystem -- digging this entirely, not as minimal as Junior Boys, plus throw in some Eno and Talking Heads influence, add a great big dollop of electroclash, and...there ya go.

Junior Boys -- put this one just to remind myself, and its minimalism is start in its contrast -- listen to, for example, track 4 (whichever one that one is).

Basement Jaxx, Kish Kash -- what can I say? I've been in a "contemporary dance" mood, and these guys could well be the currently crowned kings.

Lhasa, La Llorona and The Living Road -- after having seen her live recently, I've been really digging this. If you can imagine Marianne Faithfull meets Calexico, you're headed in the right direction. Did she do anything else? Highly, highly recommended.

Legendary Pink Dots, Sing While May (aka "Poi poka mozhesh") -- introducing a friend of mine who's into the weirder musics to these guys, decided to give it a listen myself.

Tones On Tail, Everything! -- "...Lions always hit the heights 'cause to kill has always been the easy way out..." Try not getting these songs stuck in your head.

NP A.R.E. Weapons -- a bit more fun version of suicide.
