I have 2000 + tracks on my Ipod and I am bored with most of it! I have everything from Mozart, to Frank Zappa, the Beatles to DJ Shadow. My current favourite type of music is loosely termed 'electronic' but I have not come across much of that that feels original and creative for a while. I don't on the whole go for metal or guitar type bands, though just to be inconsistent I think that Radiohead are possibly the most creative and talented band of the last 20 years.
Please recommend music for me to listen to to re-invigorate my love of it! (which I truly do!)
Recommend some music please!

Only 2000 tracks! I have 41,000+
Have you tried Aphex Twin, Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Ulver (the later stuff - they started as a death metal band and became ambient electronicicsts!), Burial...
These are just a few that might fit into your 'electronic' category.
Alternatively, just go to the "What are you listening to?" thread and play Youtubes at random till something tweaks your rhythm stick!

A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.

Yes, yes. But first I need to show you this venomous fish!

Cheers XC! I have some Aphex twin and Sigur Ros albums. Will look into the others!
Re: Recommend some music please!
My favourite label is ReR (Recommended Records): http://www.rermegacorp.com/
Check our their online catalogue for samples. Everything recorded there is special, innovative, experimental, stuff.
I'm very fond of After Diner, a Japanese female group: "One of a kind group whose compositions depend on a sound that is intricate, crystalline and complex. These are perfectionists."

Electronic is... repetitive?
No way!
