Another sonic adventurer goes by the name Aphex Twin. Making music for no one but himself, Aphex Twin has always existed in a bit of a parallel universe doing whatever he wants, however he wants, while continually making exciting music lacking any annoying overt intellectual overtones. With his own label, Rephlex, he has issued numerous albums by his contemporaries (µ-ziq among others) who share his love of fucked up art.	The boundaries are not always pushed in the most obvious ways. Underworld is respected as one of the most important acts in the world for their ability to fuse the dynamics and structures of traditional rock with the beauty and techno-soul of the electronic world. Forming from the ashes of the late eighties Underworld, who mostly mined the synth pop vein, this new version added brilliant UK DJ Darren Emerson and immediately took off. Their stunning live shows have only added to the respect they get from critics and fans alike. Their music is always breathtaking, completely unique, and compelling.
	As the Underworld fuse elements of rock into techno, The Chemical Brothers take from both the rock and the hip-hop world, although always with a great deal of respect and reverence. Among the people appearing on their album, Dig Your Own Hole, are Kool Herc and Keith Murray (old and new school hip-hop) and Jonathon from Mercury Rev and Noel Gallagher from Oasis. Their influences are as broad and expansive as their sounds. Initially signed to the same label as Underworld, Junior Boy's Own (UK), they reaped the benefits of having widespread exposure early on, but have since parlayed that into an extraordinary career. Currently poised to lead America into a new era where electronic music is no longer an unknown genre, but one that sits right along side Jazz and Classical as a timeless musical form.
