[Aka]

- Spoons, a 1980s (but apparently still active) Canadian New Wave-new romantic synth pop music group... I believe they were from Burlington.
- Conjure One, another Canadian 'group'
- Thom Yorke's solo album The Eraser was pretty good. Alt Rock/Electronic, similar to Radiohead's Kid A.
- Frou Frou, more electronic, though I think it's more like acid jazz or something.
- Muse, Alt Rock/Prog Rock/Electronic
