Spacetime Continuum should be no stranger to anyone who frequents here.  Perhaps i'll post a bunch of his amazing output.
Grain is new to me (as of this posting, I've heard this song, but did not do the research on them until now)  I'm thinking about dropping $5 bucks to some guy online who wants to sell their cd.  I'd prefer to just pay the band.
Seefeel is one of my all-time faves.  These kids really know what they are doing.  I wish i could have seen them live.  That said, their new stuff has yet to grow on me.
Spectrum is an animal of one.  Sonic Boom and J. Spaceman were Spacemen 3.  There is some meaning there for some, but for others it means nothing.  Either way, this is a good representation of his stuff.  I was lucky enough to see Spectrum with Jessamine back in the day.  Good times and lots of duct-tape on the keyboards.
Air/Pete Namlook.  I'm still bummed about him not being around.  Great song.  Years before the french dudes.
Divination is Bill Laswell and his bass-booming self surrounded by killer musicians.  Seriously, what has this guy not tried?!?!  Major talent.
FSOL is one of my all-time faves.  And they are still bringing the quality.  Check their Environment releases for some incredible sounds.  'Lifeforms' is probably still my fave.
Steve Fisk is a crazy dude.  Has his hands in a lot of stuff.  I have his "999 Levels of Undo" and recognize his names on a lot of my grunge-ish cds of yore.  Reminds me of Dean Garcia/Headcase stuff.  Crazier ambient, which i adore.  I want to track down his older stuff.
Mike Kandel, who is Tranquility Bass, which also should be no stranger here.
Aphex Twin should need zero introductions.  but if you are in the dark, this is as good as any of his massive works to get acquainted.  tuck yourself into it.  immersion is kinda key.  as probably most of this comp is.

I decided to add the band members of each "band" as half of them are one-off's or aren't completely recognized.  Please, just look at that list of players, including the remixers.  This is another no brainer.  Seriously.
