i've listened through venetian snare's discography a year back. the music can be cool, but alot of it really isn't that great. Theres a difference between being creative and just trying to be random.
i dont have anything against people liking hardcore, rave, gabba, D&B, etc...but the greater majority of it is crap, sadly. You have to look for the gems that are truly musical and artistic.
After going through all his venetian snare's stuff, i was able to fit 'repeatably listenable' tracks on one CD for my personal enjoyment.
aphex twin is too good though, but i haven't lsitened to as much as him as i should.
my favorite band is Infected Mushroom. Been keeping up w/ them since 6 years ago, and i can't wait for their new album.
others i approve: Hallucinogen, Juno Reactor.
i also dig the chiptune/bitpop scene with 8-Bit Weapon and probably better (yet not as famous) Trash80.
