I was obsessed with Plaid for a bit a few years ago, then Burial a couple of years back. Then Sunn O))) dragged me off to drone metal land, I have just escaped and am now reliving 1997 via Mo Wax records.

Plaid is pretty good
But Sunn O))) just never worked for me.

(, Sat 5 Mar 2011, 2:03, Reply)
Sunn O))) are categorically not for everyone
As I've got older (I am 31) I have mellowed to house a lot more. Andrew Weatherall is a favourite, his DJ work is phenomenal, especially when you bear in mind his history and his current recorded stuff. You should be able to find enough Weatherall stuff on soundcloud if you are interested. He did Sabres of Paradise and Two Lone Swordsmen as a producer rather than a DJ.

People tend to know house. A lot of people think that house and/ or techno is a catch-all term for all electronic music, regardless of form and function.
