Yes, Kraftwerk {the Beatles} of electronic techno. A subdivision of Techo that is gaining popularity is referred to as Goa {as in the city in south India} Psychedelic Trance. A reliable outlet for this genere is X-Radio http://www.x-radio.com/ {Real- Audio}

Here is suggestive Top Five list:

  1. Juno Reactor - Transmissions
  2. UX - Ultimate - Ultimate Experience
  3. Pleiadians - I.F.O.
  4. Various Artists - Transient Dawn
  5. Eat Static - Science of the Gods

All very sonically X-Tropian IMHO.
