Which bands/artists have you gotten into this year? The list will be LONG for me, but the list of this years purchases will be even longer. I estimate roughly 100 CD's so far. Geez... And the year's not over for a good while!
 
  • Explosions in The Sky
  • Pelican
  • Radiohead
  • Roxy Music
  • Edgar Froese
  • The Cure
  • Depeche Mode
  • Joy Division
  • The Stooges
  • My Bloody Valentine
  • Television
  • The Smiths
  • Sisters of Mercy
  • Bauhaus
  • Echo & The Bunnymen
  • David Bowie
  • Lou Reed
  • Dave Brubeck
  • Aphex Twin

And a few more i'm sure...

Only newly discovered artists I like a lot, I listen to way too much new music to count more than that

Current 93
Autechre
Tim Berne
Bill Dixon
Cardiacs, arguably (more of a deadlock, all their albums have some pieces bugging me, yet many for which I can't let the record slide)




... wait. Autechre?!!?

Autechre! Clap 

My favorite electronic band of all time! I discovered them quite early, back in the mid-90's, and have never stopped loving what they do since.

Well, not there yet, but given my dissent for IDM, there is indeed a strong change they'll pull through.

Not sure what you mean by "a strong change they'll pull through". I gather the genre of music they inhabit is not really your cup of tea. The stuff they did from Chiastic Slide through Untilted is some of their most "difficult" music, but beginning with 2008's Quaristice they started to get back to the feel and (relative) simplicity of their earliest albums.  Well, if you become an Autechre convert or not at least you're interested in checking them out.

I meant precisely liking them against all odds. Untitled was one of the albums that did that from me, along with Draft 7.30 more recently and another one I can't remember whatsitcalled right now.

I see. If I was to recommend any Autechre album to a prog audience it would be Untilted (long compositions, several movements of music changes within each track)

Been getting into Vespero a lot lately. 
Xing Sa has also rekindled my love for Zeuhl - so I´m re-discovering a lot of greats.

Oh and:
Catapilla.
f**k Buttons.
Fleet Foxes.
Vortex.
