i second these picks, cant go wrong with "the basics."  also check out other 
classics (imo)

white noise- electric storm
tim blake- crystal machine
aphex twin- i care because you do, saw i and ii
blah blah blah
look for names such as eno, tangerine dream, and roach. there is lots more 
but i wont go on with it

on the more recent side the "must-haves," i must have right now are 
bodenstandig 2000 maxi german rave blast hits (underrated and fucking 
hilarious)
labradford e lux so
anything by panasonic, godspeed you black emperor, dmx, pram, anyways you 
get the picture....weird

shine on you diamond, shine on =]
