This is the reason the word "electronica" kind of bothers me. Same thing with the phrase "techno." On one hand, they ARE extremely specific labels that people who "know" electronic music. The thing is, I just kind of guessed me meant electronica in a general term, as some people like to throw that down as a huge blanket term for everything made with gizmos, computers, and keyboards.

Not to start a genre argument, but 'electronica' is just a blanket term for 'electronic music'. There's nothing specific about it whatsoever

Now techno, on the other hand. Don't get me started on the misuse of that word...

Speaking of which...are there any resources you might recommend that discuss the differences between various genres of electronic music? Ishkar's site is alright but it doesn't go into detail about the musical characteristics of the various styles.

I've always found Wikipedia a good place to start, to get an overall feel for how a genre sounds

Absolutely start with Rossz Csillag Alatt Született whatever you do. Then I'd say any of his albums to come out in his 2005-2006 flurry of releases.

No no no. You want the Chocolate Wheelchair album to begin with - it's his most accessible and fun. After that, you can hit up Hospitality and some of the 'darker' stuff - Doll Doll Doll and Find Candace. Detrimentalist is quite decent, too, I've found.
