This album. Very enjoyable. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes electronic music or wants to get into it.

I had seen the Frontier Psychiatrist video before, cuz a friend of mine recommended it to me. They sound like a mix of Daedalus, Gorillaz, and Propellerheads. Probably a fairly good intro to electronic music, because it's not purely electronic music - it's mostly vaguely familiar and comfortable samples.

Sampling is a valid form of electronic music.

A desert tribe from Mali makes some of the best electric rock I've heard lately.

That reminds me of Europe's Final Countdown a bit.

I have the entire mfing soundtrack (except for MM9), buddy. I listen to at least one megaman tune every day, if not more. Here is how I feel after completing both my last physics lab and last MATLAB lab for the semster:

God seriously, listen to that 8-bit counterpoint. Brilliant.

AHH, okay sorry, I see what happened. "Pure" electronic music does not include anything that was not generated by a computer, synthesizer, or some other signal generator (think Roland, KORG, etc.). Samples are generally taken from live recordings (guitar riffs, vocals, drum breaks, and so on). Pure electronic music gives some people the heebie jeebies. I have heard things like "alien", "fake", and "unnatural" used to describe it. I also get "that sounds like it should be in a video game/the matrix soundtrack/etc." I was trying to convey the idea that in contrast, sample-based electronic music is an accessible entry point for that type of person.

Make more sense now?

OT (and an example): Exillon - Aeiou
I know Jay - I mean we're not bff's or anything, but I know he didn't use a single sample there - he made every sound in that track.

Here is a project a pal and I worked on that is also completely pure (if slightly lulzy): http://www.modemaudio.com/mp3/whirldance/

An ambient album called The Caretaker - Patience (After Sebald), it's beautiful and spooky at the same time.
