* Aphex Twin - I recommend The Richard D. James Album and the Windowlicker EP.
* Goldfrapp - You need to get their third album Supernature, it blows the first two albums out of the water. Their latest - Seventh Tree - is also good, most similar to their first album but at the same time quite different. Reminiscent of Kate Bush (in a good way).
* Imogen Heap FTW.
* Jamiroquai - I highly recommend Synkronized and A Funk Odyssey. In fact, most Jamiroquai albums are fairly solid.
* Lemon Jelly - You need to correct "Horizon" to "Lost Horizons". Also, get their third album '64-'95. It's quite possibly their best.
* Portishead - Their latest album, Third, is great. I'd say their second best after Dummy.
* The Prodigy - the album's just called "Experience". I recommend you pick up "Music For The Jilted Generation", and the compilation "Their Law: The Singles 1990-2005". As The Prodigy are arguably my most favourite music act, I'm always keen to get others interested in them.

Also, I hope you realise that now you've done A-Zs of your DVDs and music you've forced me to do the same :-D

@Lemon Jelly - I obviously became thick at that point as I completely forgot the word Lost (and the s). I had the '69-95' album, but it got lost at some point (or borrowed and never returned)
@Prodigy - I went off iTunes title for it, I also want to get Fat of the Land, that's one fat/phat album and always reminds me of Quake (me and my bro used to play Quake and listen to that album)

Woo to forced listing of things.
