Ah! I keep seeing Appliance cds in my local s/h shop and have never given them a try. So a recommendation is good
All three of their albums are good, but it's their first one,
Manual, that I go back to more often. In some ways it is their most naive, where they wear their influences most on their sleeves, but the krautrock, analogue warmth is lovely.
The of course there is Stereolab... but I am sure no-one needs telling how good they are.
