The last thing I bought from this entity was the "Ni Go Snix" and
"Patterns" releases (both mindblowing), anyone know if there is anything
post-"Public Energy #1" or aforementioned singles by Speedy J?  What's he
up to now?  

Also, can anyone recommend anything that is in the vein of "P.E.#1" (I've
heard Autechre/Afx) as it was my favorite release of last year.  I'm
looking for moody, electronic based, textured (not unlike "Chiastic Slide"
or "Human Dislocation" by Imminent Starvation) techno-ambient music...
yadda yadda yadda.  I've been on the lookout for various bands (since I'm
behind) such as:  Panasonic, Mouse on Mars, Microstoria, Oval, Farmers
Manual, General Magic, Pita, Funkstorung, Not Breathing, Third Eye
Foundation, Gescom, Jega, various Ant Zen label bands, etc.  Any releases I
should check for by these artists or any others?  I'm coming from the harsh
industrial background so I don't mind, and relish, often times harsh noises
interspersed with atmospheric sounds.  I'm looking for anything in the "I
Care Because You Do/Ventolin" type vein as well.  Thanks in advance for all
recommendations.

Btw, although I know it's not going to help me in this arena (due to idm's
apparent popularity with vinyl) but I prefer buying/listening to the
pristine quality/portability of digital compact disk, so any
recommendations, please let me know if it's available on cd as well
(preferably) but I will buy vinyl and have the listening capabilities (it's
just a bitch though, no offense).  :-)

Also, any label/url/contact information would be nice, with a brief (or
long) description of any recommended band.

Thanks!!!

np: Depeche Mode-It's No Good remix disk (Speedy J mix)
