Recently been getting into Daneito, getting into Test Dept., Tosca, Octogen, Pressure Drop, few others.

I jsut feel like I've beaten down every great artist to death. If an Amon Tobin track comes on I can't disagree that it's great stuff but I've listened to it waaay too much. I feel like I've exhausted the realm of good composers. I've listened to endless Orb, so much Proem and Casino Vs. Japan. Board of Canada needs to release a new album before I listen to anyhting of theirs again. I'm digging the new Daneito that I grabbed but finding shops that sell his work is near impossible.

I need suggestions. Anyone into this kind of stuff - give me some pointers. Any suggestions? If it's well known I've probably overplayed it already. For example, don't suggest I look into Aphex Twin or Squarepusher or Bola or Shpongle or Lusine Inc., or Bluetech, Thomas Fehlmann, Kraftwerk, etc. I've done all the giants. I'm looking for new and relatively unknown folks that are worth my time.

Doubt I'll find too many like minded folks here but it's worth a try.

I'm proud to say that other than Kraftwerk, I've never heard of ANY of the other groups listed. However, if they are representative, perhaps try Tangerine Dream?

Already beaten Tangerine Dream to death. I went through them years ago when I discovered the Orb and began exploring all the related artists. :/

OK well here's your problem. You need to stop playing out tracks/albums/artists and add enough variety to your playlist so aren't listening to the same song 10 times a day. Music, like sex, is so much more enjoyable when it feels like the first time.
