Ok this isn't *strictly* experimental but it's an excellent guide to all forms of electronic music, and covers many experimental genres with many audio samples.

I'll let you decide if it should be included with these resources John.

Ishkur's guide is class, one of the best websites I've ever come acoss, and it does indeed deserve to be on this list.

Weekly 90minute show, with special guests slots. Well worth checking out.

Music spans "Dubstep, minimal electronica, techno and advanced soundscapes"

Artists from Planet Mu feature heavily.

If anyone's innarested...
I do a weekly show on Flirt FM. We play a lot of, but not strictly experimental music. It's called Feed Me Weird Things and it's on every Wednesday at nine on 101.3fm in Galway or listen live on www.flirtfm.ie

There's a list of all our playlists plus downloads of our shows in the blog at our myspace page.

Give it a spin! It's a bit wonky like, but it is an amateurish labour of love to be sure. There's free Mantua Festival tickets next week.

I suspect that many people have different interpretations of what constitutes "experimental"...

These two are good for reviews and articles:
Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.furious.com/perfect/index.html&gt;
Bagatellen <http://www.bagatellen.com/archives/reviews/002042.html&gt;

This is a record label but the scope of material is great:
Lucky Kitchen <http://www.luckykitchen.com/&gt;

A great shop for buying experimental and left-of-field stuff is the great Aquarius in San Francisco:
Aquarius Records <http://www.aquariusrecords.org/&gt;

I use Aquarius quite a bit - very good selection and reviews. Two others you might find interesting are www.squidco.com and www.forcedexposure.com.

THIS is a GREAT EXPERIMENTAL RESOURCE:
EXPERIMENTAL: Growing Electronic ... by RELLIK NISSASSA — Kickstarter

My video is a good example of how the site works, and you can research more there. If you enjoyed the video and the music, please pledge. There are more links under the video to follow as well.

I hope that you all find this to be as inspiring and useful as I did.

Also, this is a great resource if you are trying to get your Experimental music out there:

Message Eric, the creator, with a link to your Soundcloud. If your stuff is good enough, he'll play it on his station

Cheers!
