Recommendations for electronic music please

[scottmandue]

I have been flying a lot and purchased some noise canceling earphones and a MP3 player.

Although my taste in music runs jazz/classical/rock when flying jet blue they have satellite TV/radio and I have found the electronica/dance music channel has music that is interesting but also drones on and puts me to sleep (and drowns out the screaming children) so I can snooze the hours aways.

I can't aways fly jet blue hence the MP3 player... any recommendations for some CD's with nice long jams that I can load onto it?

TIA

been an electronic music fan since the 80's. by far, my favorite so far is a man named Trentemoller.

here is his discography
http://www.discogs.com/artist/Trentem%C3%B8ller

i recommend you go to itunes and purchase his full length album and especially, all the singles & remixes.

i also love Thievery Corporation. Buy all of their albums....they are not strictly electronic music however, but have elements of electronica mixed with lounge, dub, world etc.....awsome music and a great band to see live if you can

this should give you an idea of what Trentemoller sounds like...his music is very diverse. he is one talented mofo with great taste in sound/beats and doesnt stick to one sound all the time so- you cant really sum him up with one song

You might look into Daft Punk. A little more on the Pop side but its good.

Also Nine Inch Nails Ghosts 1-36. That can be downloaded for free on their webiste.

I used to have a audio cassette with Tangerine Dream on it that I played when I went to bed. Put me right out.

Come to think of it, there was some other stuff on the tape as well, the soundtrack to Twin Peaks, the soundtrack to Thief (which was Tangerine Dream) and IIRC Pachelbel's Canon in D over sounds of surf.

Trentmoller, and Guido are great... Booka is probably more of what I am looking for to listen on the aireplane.

Techtronic Sound at the above technomusic website is perfect... but for the life of me I can't figure out how to buy or upload any of the music?

Some electronica/trance/groove/chill groups / albums I recommend:

Enigma - MCMXC A.D
DJ Tiësto - Search for Sunrise 4, 5, 6, 7
DarioG - Sunmachine
Tangerine Dream - Optical Race - A classic, but still great electronic music

-Z-man.

I should have mentioned I already have some tangerine dream... optical race is probably my favorite.
