I'm Looking for some great electronic music

I realize most modern music has some sort of electronicly produced sounds but the other day I played an old CD I have called "Windham Hill Chill". The First song on disc one is a high quality recording by The Paul Schwartz Project. It is a beautiful electronic composition that I find astounding.

Before improving some of my components I had never really heard all the layering, texture, unusual tones and deep thunderous bass lines. Wow!

Now I'd like to find some more quality music like this.
Does anyone have favorites they'd like to recommend?
Some Ambient music is O.K. as long as it isn't sleep inducing.
thanks

You might find this site interesting. It's basically a family tree of electronic music, what lead to what and so forth.
Carefull, though, you may easily waste a whole day.....

Can you be more specific? are you looking for something chilled? Cafe del Mar has some great compilations: vol 7 is pretty good.

Some of my favorite chilling grooves:

Nightmares on Wax: "Smoker's delight" and "Carboot soul" only

Morcheeba

Sven Van Hees

Sigur Ros

Zero 7

The Orb - Check out a song called "A huge evergrowing pulsating brain that rules from the centre of the ultraworld"
