They are dark, gothic, sexy, and you can dance to them.
Cream of the crop electronic music. Masters of New Wave. Influential, alternative, transformative. A heavy atmosphere pervades over all. They are still here, equal parts timeless, dated and in constant flux. They're not perfect, but it's their love for roughness (in more ways than one) why they are so captivating.
With them you'll learn what being cool through more than three decades means.
Start with their album Violator and go from there.

firstly, if you like PS1 type beats you will LOVE:
- Skee Mask - Compro, specifically Kozmic Flush.
- Also you might dig the album Reso - Tangram
- Andy Stott is the king of atmosphere, but also prob has more grit than others
- This album by Transllusion also has some pretty sleek sound design goin on
- Sweet Trip's album Velocity:Design:Comfort straddles the realms of drum and bass, glitch, pop, and shoegaze like nothing else
- EPROM is prolly the heaviest on this whole list but takes a lot of inspo from the jungle and acid eras
if you like things more chill and spatial:
- try Burial. his album Untrue is considered a landmark work of electronic music
- This album from Djrum might also scratch that itch
- Boards of Canada are a staple of chill electronica
- Huerco S borders on soundscapes at times, but with enough movement to keep things interesting
- Floating Points makes really lush, almost orchestral electronic music with a lot of jungle and techno influence
- Leon Vynehall is similar to Floating Points but more of a house influence
if you want wacked out Machine Girl stuff with a lot of energy:
- Phuture Doom has the same level of acid-infused madness
- try Machinedrum too maybe? both draw heavily from footwork as a genre. I'd say Machinedrum is just happy Machine Girl in a way
- Maybe have a little Drexciya if you want something more classic
- if you like danceable rhythms, maybe other Detroit Techno stuff like Los Hermanos
the world of electronic music is so vast and diverse so explore wherever your ears lead! also paging aidanaguirre for the assist on this one

Underwear, soap, sunblock, sheets; if you're putting up a barrier between the physical you and the oh-so-hazardous world then, if possible, have it be the most effective barrier it can be.

Cooking is most enjoyable and most challenging when the target is not only the creation of a meal, but the efficiency, orderliness and timeliness with which you cook.
More importantly, cleaning the unused pots, pans and utensils allows you to bask in the post-meal afterglow without the drag of a mess after.
