And it leaves me Blind.
Check out Deep Cuts by The Knife, and for straight fun Fancy Footwork by Chromeo is really hard to beat. _________________ I love all music. It makes you feel like living. Silence is death.
Most of what you're referencing isn't dance as much as electronic or in the case of Air more lounge, but that's what's great about electronic music it can come in a lot of different forms. So here are some wide ranging recommendations to give you a feel for what electronic/electronica has to offer, some of my favs:
Bjork - Homogenic
The Postal Service - Give Up
LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem
Moby - Play
Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms
Fever Ray - Fever Ray
Hercules and Love Affair - Hercules and Love Affair
Saint Germain - From Detroit to St. Germain
Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
Try these, my current favourites (apart from the ones you've already mentioned):
1 The Black Dog - Spanners
2 Aphex Twin - I Care Because You Do
3 The Orb - U.F.Orb
4 Mum - Finally We Are No One
5 DJ Shadow - The Private Press
6 Orbital - In Sides
7 Lemon Jelly - Lemonjelly.ky
8 Etienne De Crecy - Super Discount
9 Leftfield - Leftism
10 Death In Vegas - The Contino Sessions
11 Plastikman - Consumed
12 LCD Soundystem - LCD Soundsystem
13 Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase
14 The Future Sound of London - Environments 2
15 Justice - Cross
16 Hot Chip - The Warning
17 The Chemical Brothers - Surrender
18 Autechre - Amber
19 Royksopp - Melody AM
20 Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree
also, if you haven't got any trip hop, these are all great albums:
I also love:
*Sepiamusic-Prototype
*Radiohead-Kid A (I know you've probably already listened to this, but I had to put it down)
*Tori Amos-From the Choirgirl Hotel (certain parts are highly electronic)
*Massive Attack-Mezzazine
And, of course, you can't forget classic electronic music such as Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, etc.

Anything associated with the Bristol scene is pure fucking gold to my ears:
Portishead-Dummy
Portishead-Third
Massive Attack-Mezzanine
Massive Attack-Protection
Massive Attack-Blue Lines
Tricky-Maxinquaye
Tricky-Angels with Dirty Faces
Bjork-Debut
Bjork-Post
Bjork-Homogenic
I highly suggest any listener have Dummy, Mezzanine, Maxinquaye, and Post if you absolutely have to choose between these; but really, all of these are worthy of being in someone's top ten.
From what I've heard, these are my favorite electronica listens of the 00s:
Radiohead-Kid A (not really electonica, but close enough)
Radiohead-Amnesiac (ditto)
The Knife-Silent Shout
Animal Collective-Strawberry Jam (also, not really true electronica)
Again, each of these records is solid gold; some people tend to prefer Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion, but I like Strawberry Jam better...
The Avalanches - Since I Left You
Infusion - Six Feet Above Yesterday
Midnight Juggernauts - Dystopia
Robert Miles - Dreamland (known for the song 'Children')
Presets - Apocalypso

except Bjork, none of these are electronic[/quote]
If you want to get picky, every one of these is electronic; most popular music is with the electric instruments. Also, every one of these is considered electronica, ortrip hop which is a subgenre of electronica.
But seriously, you can't listen to any of these and tell me every sound is live; alot of them incorporate live instrumentation, like guitars for Radiohead and drums for Animal Collective but every Bristol band recorded each basic sound for each instrument separately, jacked it up, made it cool, then mixed it. You will find no one playing guitar as a trip hop concert, but it's in the songs. And really, you think the Knife isn't electronic?
By the way, thank you for starting up arguments again :)
