Five of your favourite 90's acts outside of PA

   What are five of your favourite bands or artists that got started releasing albums in the 90s that are not listed in PA?

The first five that immediately come to my mind are:

Air
Broadcast
Portishead
Pram
Stereolab 

I would appreciate it, but it is not required, if some specific music is mentioned, or one can talk about favourite albums.  This is not just about the 90s music from the acts, so feel free to talk about the music of the acts from after the 90s.

With Air, my favourite albums have been Moon Safari, Talkie Walkie and 10, 00 Hz Legend (I also like The Virgin Suicides OST).  My favourite is actually 10 000 Hz Legend which tends to get rated considerably lower and I once was quite dismissive of too when I had yet to give it a proper listen and was being influenced by negative reviews.  For two favourite tracks from it, I love "Radian" and "Sex Born Poison".

I actually find that a nice track to pair with David Bowie's "Blackstar" and one from Cat People with humming Bowie.

With Broadcast, "The Book Lovers" from the 1996 The Book Lovers EP was what got me into it.  I also like The Noise Made By People, Haha Sound and Tender Buttons very much.  My favourite Broadcast album is The Noise Made By People.  A favourite song from it is "Papercuts".

With Portishead, I love all three of the studio albums, whcih are Dummy, Portishead and Third.  Dummy was one of my very favourite albums not long ago, and I only quite recently discovered Third.  Third (2008) is my favourite now. I find it the most consistently good to my ears and I love the Krautrock and folk qualities on it.  I've been quite obsessed with the album.  I could mention any number of tracks, but will mention this for its folksy beauty.

With Pram, I have the first six albums and love them all.  If forced to pick one, then I might go with Helium, or Sargasso Sea or The Museum of Imaginary Animals depending on the day.

I will mention "Blue" as song:

With Stereolab, I like lots of their albums, but it was Dots and Loops and Emperor Tomato Ketchup that made me a fan.  Discovering Stereolab led to lots of discoveries (including Pram).

Ill mention a long one of theirs rather than the great, shorter and I expect better known ones such as The Flower Called Nowhere and Cybele's Reverie.

And Ill give  nod to another long one, which is Metronomic Underground which is very clearly Krautrock influenced (think Can and Neu!).

Looking forward to hearing about your top five (you don't have to limit to five and can mention less).  Thanks.
