The thread where Tom tells you to listen to some bands he likes.
First up there is Infants which is spazzy rock in a Melt Banana crossed with JSBX kind of way.

Second up there is something quite different.
Kind of sounding like Brian Eno, Philip Glass, maybe even Aphex Twin in parts is Gareth S. Brown. He has a new album called Iron Henry and frankly it's so good that it's a very early forerunner for my album of the year. I think there's only like 300 copies about though so be quick!
In parts it is mixing classical with experimental techno but it just works so well. There has been some wonderful acoustic/electronic stuff about recently. You can listen to some stuff here:
