This is the debut solo release for former Jane's Addiction/Porno For Pyros frontman Perry Farrell. Many of the tracks are more electronic in nature than his previous output with the two bands. Dave Navarro, Jon Brion, and the Mad Professor are among the guest contributors.

The debut album for I Am The World Trade Center was recorded entirely on a laptop computer, with music by Kindercore head Dan Geller and vocals by Amy Dykes. [The band officially shortened its name to I Am The World following the tragic events of September 11, 2001.]

The debut album from California electronic artist Timothy Wiles includes collaborations with Beenie Man and Davey Dave.

Another eclectic effort from the former Massive Attack member features guest contributions from the likes of Alanis Morrisette, Cyndi Lauper, Ed Kowalcyzk (Live), and members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The follow-up to the Jaxx' critically-acclaimed 1999 debut album, 'Remedy,' 'Rooty' finds the British house duo adding to the party vibe with elements of pop and R&B thrown into the mix. The lead single is "Romeo."

This is the fifth full-length release from Tom Jenkinson (aka Squarepusher). "My Red Hot Car" is the lead single.

The first album in four years (since 1997's 'The Drop') for Brian Eno finds the legendary musician/producer paired for the first time with German DJ/percussionist J. Peter Schwalm. Longtime Eno friend Laurie Anderson provides vocals on one song, although most of the thirteen tracks are atmospheric, soundtrack-like instrumentals (some with strings). Believe it or not, Eno will be performing live in support of the album, with at least one scheduled date (at the Fuji Rock Festival on 29 July 2001).

The latest installment in Ultra Records' Back To Mine DJ mix series is a set by Everything But The Girl.

The release notes say that this is the third installment in the trilogy that began with "Not For Threes" and "Rest Proof Clockwork" and that it deals with the "duality of the ear." Hey, as long as it sounds good.

The French indie-electronica band made waves with their 1998 debut 'Moon Safari,' but since then their only release has been the motion picture score to Sofia Coppola's "The Virgin Suicides." The wait for their true sophomore album is over with the release of '10,000 Hz Legend,' which includes guest vocal contributions from Beck and Buffalo Daughter.

Markus Popp returns with eleven untitled tracks of noise and sounds of skipping CDs. Some people like that.

Fantastic Plastic Machine is Japanese DJ/radio host/fashion magazine editor Tomoyuki Tanaka, and this is his third release, capturing a wide range of sounds from Philly soul to lounge to exotica to electronica. Schoolhouse Rock vocalist Bob Dorough guests on one track.

This is the first album of new material since 1997's 'Ultra' for Depeche Mode, which again sees the band as a trio (consisting of David Gahan, Martin L. Gore, and Andy Fletcher) but also sees them experimenting more with a wider variety of sounds, including acoustic guitar. It is DM's first time in the studio with producer Mark Bell, who has previously worked with Bjork and was a member of the early-90s techno outfit LFO. The lead single from the 13-track album is "Dream On."

One of the preeminent practitioners of the style of electronica labeled "Intelligent Dance Music," Autechre (consisting of Sean Booth and Rob Brown) returns with its first album in three years.

Melding post-rock and electronica, German trio To Rococo Rot have garnered attention by releasing a series of well-received albums on indie labels (most notably 1999's 'The Amateur View') and producing Saint Etienne's 'Sound of Water' LP. Here, they combine with New York turntablist I-Sound for their first release on Mute Records.

The German electro-experimenters return with a follow up to last year's 'Niun Niggung.'

This debut album from two-step pioneer MJ Cole was nominated for the Mercury Prize in the UK (but lost out to Badly Drawn Boy).

This CD collects the first three 10-inch EPs from the British electronica duo, whose Fred Deakin also designs the band's album covers.

A collection of B-sides and previously unreleased tracks recorded during the 'Sound of Water' sessions, with material frequently as strong as that on the previous LP. The CD includes two bonus tracks: remixes of "Boy Is Crying" and "Lose That Girl."

The English electronica duo return with an atmospheric collection of 12 lounge/trip-hop tracks, with vocals provided by Wendy Stubbs, Helen White, and Martin Barnard.

The fourth LP (and the first on Matador) from the experimental San Francisco outfit is a concept album about plastic surgery, utilizing samples from actual surgical procedures in its seven electronic/techno tracks. A track from this LP was included in the Whitney Museum's Bitstreams Exhibit in Spring 2001.

The French electronica band returns with its long-awaited follow-up to its hit 1998 debut, Homework.

The second LP from the eclectic San Francisco exotica/electronica duo.

Second full-length from the British production duo.

Scotland's Nicholas Currie (aka Momus) returns with an usual album that combines (fake) traditional folk tunes with modern electronica.

'Production' is a solo album from the French producer best known for his work with Madonna (who returns the favor by adding vocals to one track here).

Former Culture Clubber Boy George has shifted his focus to a different type of club in his new role as DJ. This mix album features a variety of tracks and styles in an hour+ set.

Britpop, New Wave, and Kraftwerk-style electronica come together in the debut full-length from Britain's Ladytron (named after a song from Roxy Music's debut album). The album repeats three of the songs from 2000's "Commodore Rock" EP (including the ever-catchy "Playgirl") and adds 12 new tracks plus the 1999 single "He Took Her To A Movie."

The first release from the D.C. band since they became the first group signed to Marilyn Manson's Posthuman Records. Includes a cover of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby."

The latest release from the band formerly known as "Panasonic."

This four-track EP is the first new material from the group since 1998's landmark 'Music Has The Right To Children.'

The Chicago group's fourth full-length was produced by John Herndon (Tortoise, Isotope 217).

The follow-up to 1998's hugely successful 'You've Come A Long Way, Baby' features guest appearances by Macy Gray, Bootsy Collins, and (via sampling) Jim Morrison.

The third full release from French DJ Garnier consists of original compositions mixing techno and jazz.

Seemingly unwilling to stick to a successful formula, Radiohead follow their breakthrough album 'OK Computer' with this much more experimental work (recorded during sessions that also spawned the later-released 'Amnesiac' album), which ventures even further away from conventional song structure and embraces electronica more fully (even sounding at times like Aphex Twin).

The third release from the project that now features New Order's Bernard Sumner and former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr.

Former 808 State-er Gerald Simpson returns with a follow-up to 1995's Black Secret Technology.

Features the UK chart-topper "Don't Give Up," with vocals from Bryan Adams.

Former British club DJ David Holmes has been building a name for himself as a composer of soundtracks both real (Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight") and imaginary (the previous Holmes albums 'Let's Get Killed' and 'This Film's Crap, Let's Slash The Seats). 'Bow Down' continues that tradition by forming the soundtrack to an as-yet-unproduced screenplay, although it is clearly more song-oriented than its predecessors. Jon Spencer, Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), and Martina Topley-Bird (best known for her work on Tricky's albums) are among the guest vocalists.

B.R.A.'s follow-up to its hit (in the UK) debut. The band features ex-Pop Will Eat Itself bassist Richard March.

The trance DJ duo return with a two-disc mix set.

This is actually the second LP from Richard Warren (aka Echoboy), who picks up frequent comparisons to the similarly eclectic Beta Band and Badly Drawn Boy.

The third release from the trip-hop/indie/rock/electronic/jazz/pop band named after the first dog in outer space.

Although the Birmingham, England band has been recording and performing since 1995, 'The Noise Made By People' marks their official full-length debut (following 1997's singles compilation 'Work And Non-Work'). In the UK, the group is signed to Warp Records (although they don't sound too much like the other bands on Warp's all-electronic roster).

Spell MDFMK backwards and what do you get? Well, KMFDM fans know the answer, and may find the sound of this Sasha K.-led industrial band to be remarkably familiar.

The Amsterdam duo follow their eclectic 1999 debut 'All-In' with the equally eclectic 'Music For Imaginary Films,' which is just that: tracks composed for a variety of movies which don't actually exist.

Beck's "official" follow-up to 'Odelay' is an even more eclectic mix of soul, electro, funk, folk, rock, and hip-hop, including more than one song that sounds an awful lot like Prince.

Producers Prince Paul and Dan "The Automator" Nakamura assembled a varied cast of collaborators, including Miho Hatori (Cibo Matto), Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, DJ Shadow, Sean Lennon, Josh Hayden (Spain), De La Soul, and, of all people, Father Guido Sarducci. The band's name comes from an episode of the Chris Elliott sitcom "Get A Life."

Former London club DJ Richard Fearless (now working with Tim Holmes) returns for a follow-up to 1997's 'Dead Elvis.' Guest vocals are provided by Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), Jim Reid (Jesus And Mary Chain), Dot Allison (One Dove) and Iggy Pop.

This long-awaited debut LP from the London, England house production duo of Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton has since been recognized as one of the better dance recordings of all time. It was named by Spin as one of the 90 Best Albums of the 90's.

Although techno artist Moby had been on the scene for almost a decade and had released five albums, his fame had chiefly been limited to his club hit "Go" back in 1991. 'Play' changed all that, however, garnering a sea of critical and popular acclaim for the artist. A mix of styles (including deviations into blues and gospel), 'Play' also has the unique distinction of having all 18 of its tracks licensed for use in film, television and advertising.

The third proper LP from the second incarnation of Underworld features the singles "Push Upstairs" and "Moaner" (the latter of which previously appeared on the "Batman & Robin" soundtrack).
