Anyone heard of these guys? Very glitchy, but nicely so. They use lots of scratched CDs for making samples by the sounds of it. Can anyone recommend anything similar?

People have mentioned Jim O'Rourke here. I personally love the album I'm Happy and I'm Singing and a 1,2,3,4... which came out on mego a few years ago. Also love his old band Gastr Del Sol with David Grubbs. Their last album Camofleur featured Markus Popp of oval on most tracks.
Other experimental faves are Tortoise, Keith Fullerton Whitman (especially Playthroughs), Stars of the Lid and Labradford. My obsession however (which has cost me a small fortune on ebay) is Boredoms. Check out Super Roots 5 and 7 when they're reissued in February. And while you're at it, check out Planetary Natural Love Gas Webbin' 1999999 by DJ Pica Pica Pica. It's eYe from Boredoms' DJ mix and it's the most insane dj mix I've ever heard. Puts the likes of Girl Talk in the shade.

There's a thread on Boredoms here somewhere too. (I think I started it, actually.) Saw them in Temple Bar Music Centre last year. Unbelievable stuff.

I was there too. Absolutely fantastic. I've just found out that the week I'm in NY this year they're playing a special gig with 77 drummers! I've been smiling for a week.
