[edit] Oh, and it doesn't have that appalling Miami sound machine remix on it. which was basically released as he couldn't release drop the pressure in it's current form.
And on a side notre. I watched the greatest fear factory (without the tunes) band I have ever saw last night. Just before anyone starts insulting my taste in music.
I just wished I still had my long hair so I could headbang properly.

Not the soundtrack to a Faliraki chav holiday, the latest s***e club anthems or "uhn tiss uhn tiss uhn".
Basically, along the lines of the bands I've mentioned in the original title and orbital.
I dont care for lyrics. Underworld's are marvelous, Leftfield could do without them.
You'll notice "intelligent dance" was in quotes. It's a pigeonhole I disagree with, but it's the easiest way to get across the style.

Psy-trance.
Also if you're not too fussed about lyrics then remixes of Rob Zombie songs are rather interesting to listen too.
One of my friends is quite into Deviant Electronics and I like the odd track by them myself.
Loads of others I could suggest but anyway...
A definitive album please?

"Blue Album" is basicly covers everything they have done in their career, but for the most accesable, I'd go for "Middle of nowhere"
Check out Underworlds Bootleg Babies too. Their best ever CD. Free from the official site (that's down ATM)
Daft Punk - "Homework". Legendary house album - my fav of all time.
Mylo - "Destroy Rock & Roll"
Tiesto - "In My Memory" - It's not cheesy. In fact, it will turn a few heads despite it's age.
Green Velvet - "Whatever"
I actually don't own a lot of albums; just lots of singles (quite a few hundred!) Artists/DJ's that I recommend, if you haven't heard of them, are:
Dave Clarke
Aphex Twin (No need to explain this guy's creativity)
Hystereo
Royksopp
Plump DJ's

Infamous. Spot On. Psy-trance is okay, in some circumstances, but they all do soud very similar! The running basslines for example - the same key in a lot of them.

I thought I heard a note-clash between the acoustic and bass on the first track 'Yeah', maybe I'm wrong. Although, Hydra sounded better - reminds of tough breaks/metal. How long have you been producing like?
