and just to be Devil's Advocate I'll put in my two cents:

Tim's recommendations #2 and 3 are both excellent compilations featuring
extremely innovative, creative instrument builders and performers.  They're
not exclusively *electronic* but they are very much worth seeking out.  I
would also echo previous recommendations for the music of Brian Eno,
especially his classic "Another Green World" and the more loop-centered "No
Pussyfooting" and "Evening Star," both collaborations with Robert Fripp.
