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

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"

afro celt sound system is killer.

sounds from the dearts of space is a NPR program that does electronic (though more atmospheric type) that is cool to listen to that may give you ideas. Tends to be found in sunday night late time slots. have a web site as well

Not to pick a fight, but I'm not sure if anyone who has responded so far has actually listened to Paul Schwartz. At least IMO the artists mentioned are not that close to Paul Schwartz. I have 3 of his releases: Aria I, Aria II and State of Grace II.

Some other artists that I like in this vein are:

Enigma and Dead Can Dance

Best bet is to go to Amazon or Tower and listen to some samples.

Do a search for Tonto Rides Again if you want the grand daddy of them all. There may be a download available of this rare and out of print CD.
