I'm a big Schneider TM fan and you're right, his version of "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" is wonderful. I might also mention that his album "Zoomer" is great too if you're into electro-pop or whatever you want to call it. "Zoomer" is different than his first album "Moist" which is much more along the lines of German techno. None the less I'm a big fan of "Moist" too and you can often times find it in the bargain bins at your local CD shop. I highly recommend picking them both up.

There's a fantastic compilation with Schneider TM on it (he does a remix) called Wir. I'd recommend that to anyone interested in finding out and hopefully folks can find it (it came out in 2k.)

Here's a link to the info at the station:

My favorite track on it is probably Popacid's "I am not in Disko". It extensively samples "I'm not in love."

Sabres of Paradise definede a genre! Weatherall ruled the day, crazy stuff.

its nice to see so many people listing "downtempo" albums as best electronic music - even as i flip through my massive cd/record collection, its the downtempo albums that often strike me as the most innovative of the electronic ones. Kruder and Dorfmeister and all of their manifestations are consistently incredible - does anyone know what they have going on since the last tosca album?
Bonobo is indeed next level shit. and although i feel ninja tune is a little more spotty than it used to, its still a great label who has been putting out incredible downtempo/acid jazz for years.

i'm actually rockin a couple of tracks off of the verve remixed cd that came out last year - i'm really feeling that mixture of old and new, analoge soulfull vocals and tight produced beats. anybody have suggestions for music that falls into that category?
