My most played list is currently reading:
M83
Autechre
Aphex Twin
Sigur Ros
Mogwai
Oceansize

I'm getting into more kind of ephemeral weird stuff and electro things at the moment but I've exhausted my knowledge

Any other suggestions?

Not electro but maybe try Pelican or Tool. At work just now so can't post youtube links.

Check out some of the stuff on Ninja Tune & Warp record labels.

If you look at www.Last.fm & search your favourite artists, they then show you similar types of artist, which you can then listen to.

Good eclectic taste - like all those, except Autechre are a bit too much for me! Can't get enough Oceansize though.

For the prog/post rock side:
Battles - "Mirrored"
Amplifier
65daysofstatic

For the electronic side:
Ulrich Schnauss
Jon Hopkins - "Insides"
Four Tet - "Rounds"
Nathan Fake - "Drowning in a sea of love"
Holden - "The Idiots are Winning"
Apparat - "Walls"

If you like Boards of Canada, try Tycho "Past is Prologue", and Christ.

Cheers all.

Kid A/Amnesiac and the Thom Yorke solo project are all already firmly established as favourites. Lemon Jelly, Mattafix, Four Tet, UNKLE, Zero 7, The Postal Service and DJ Shadow are all existing favs, but some excellent stuff for me to check out. I tend to listen to a couple of songs/download one or two and if I like it buy the whole album.

Also waiting for the new Royksopp album to come out.

Time for me to get busy now and expand the horizons.

Oh, and all this appears between Queens of the Stone Age, Kings of Leon, MGMT, Cream, Charlie Parker, Led Zep, Jimi Hendrix, Muse, John Coltrane, John Lee Hooker and countless others on the ipod. Yeah, I don't pigeonhole myself into liking one genre.

Flowers of Hell.

I went to see these guys supporting Spectrum in Brighton the other night.

If instrumental space rock is your thing then I can suggest you buy their first and so far only album.
