Not sure this is the right forum, but why not. A few of my forum friends know my keen interest in this area, but these artists are truly killer and making unique music (and well recorded). I've been toting them to audio shows this year as demo music and getting rave reviews, so hope you enjoy.

Nils Frahm "Spaces"

They have a multitude of albums, EPs, singles, etc. on Tidal. Both are on LateNightTales, more of a late night dj compilation series too (and each one is awesome).

I quickly listened to Frahm above, found it OK, a bit simplistic.

I usually separate classical (even modern) from electronica as for me the first is not timbrally varied, whereas the second is infinite in possibilities, but if you're looking for people who span both areas, these can be interesting:

Craig Armstrong:



Synergy / Larry Fast:


Muse can also do some tracks melding both (with a bit of Rock thrown in sometimes).

And Jarre (but I consider him more Electronic than classical - actually he's in a league by himself more or less).
