I'm looking for some good post-metal, and I know some of you guys are fans of the genre, so I would appreciate it if you could recommend some good artists.

Also, if you know some good electronica artists, I'd like to hear about them too.

Thanks!! ^_^

Background Electronica. OK, maybe I'm not a "good" electronica artist, but I've been given many complements on the pieces (and would appreciate more, or criticism is good too :P).

Can't help with post-metal because I've probably never heard, let alone listen to casually, anything in that genre. However, if someone can post a few links, I'd be happy to listen to it and suggest anything similar if I know of it.

Electronica (also bridging on Ambient stuff, which I feel is similar enough): Autechre, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, DJ Shadow - Endtroducing, Eluvium, No-Man, Prefuse 73, Squarepusher, Stars of the Lid, Venetian Snares.

Post-Metal: Battle of Mice, Isis, maudlin of the Well, Neurosis, Pelican, Red Sparowes, Russian Circles, Slint - Spiderland, Sunn O))) (doom metal, really, but close),

I have to second these two. They're good, though far more ambient that electronica.

I wish I could comment on the post-rock , but I can't. So when I get back from my holidays in a week I'll go and look up some of those artists to see if I can get a better idea of what they do.

Electronica/techno : some really good stuff would be, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyke, ATB, Benny Benassi, Basshunter, Scooter, Cascada (yeah yeah yeah, i know...), Eiffel 65, Daft Punk, Fatboy slim, Fisherspooner; Progedy; Robert Miles; Stromkern; Warp Brothers, Aquagen... Thats all that i can think of that i didnt see named...

Well im not sure if this is the type of metal your looking for but i promise you its something to check out, you never know you may just like it... But check out: Within temptaion, Theatre of tragedy, After Forever, Epica, Delain, Nightwish, Kamelot, Ayreon, Ambeon, Divercia; Edenbridge; Gathering; Memoira; Nemesea; Sirenia; Symphony X; Therion; Tristania... well either way i hope it could be some help to you...

Heres a link to the latter of the two, hope it helps... http://view.playlist.com/12444320523/standalone

Haha, if only our album was finished... :)))

Second all that KA gave, plus check out Alcest's "Souvenirs D'Un Autre Monde" for some black metal/shoegaze crossover. Although post-metal really is a loose definition, it could mean anything.
