Recently I have come to enjoy [Monument (The Inevitable End)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo6UnKr6Bwg), which is listed in genres and styles such as:

[ul]  
[li]Electronica[/li][li]Synth-pop[/li][li]Techno[/li][li]Downtempo[/li][/ul]

I’ve been trying to find other similarly enjoyable songs, but with little success.

Other songs that I’ve come to enjoy are:

[ul]  
[li][Ihr Seid Doch Krank](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7GsgtbyaNs)[/li][li][Sea Tides (Original Mix)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-T61s1_5RM)[/li][li][Is That Too Much To Ask](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n71lr0D2o0)[/li][li][Breaking Ties (Above and Beyond)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZlMb5KJvV8)[/li][/ul]

It seems though that my ability to find decent songs like these is sadly lacking.

Are there any good ways of finding songs that are similar to these?  
What other songs can you suggest that are as good as these?

Have you tried the new music discovery tools on the Pandora and Grooveshark websites (sorry, can’t link from my work computer, they no likee South Africa)

Thanks for those ideas = Pandora seems to be all over the place, and it seems that I don’t know enough on how to control grooveshark to get any desired results.

also try [http://8tracks.com/](http://8tracks.com/)

Your second example (Sea Tides) is “Trance” genre.

Some artists I like for Downtempo Electronica:

Daft Punk  
Groove Armada  
Air  
Royksopp  
Blackmill  
Thievery Corporation  
Aydio  
Bonobo

Add [Portishead](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qQyUi4zfDs) and [Massive Attack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN6YSXO2L5A) to that list.

Although the OP’s own list is quite eclectic - I can’t help but think they might like some [Gogol Bordello](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4hbSW8tm2k), somehow, even though they’re not Electronica…

Or some old-school EBM, like [Nitzer Ebb](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=627XGCfxwfM), [Front 242](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1cRGVaJF7Y) or [DAF](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j42vfCHdh9U)

That’s Sirens of the Sea by Oceanlab (an Above and Beyond project with Justine Suissa). Similar artists to Above and Beyond:  
Armin van Buuren  
Ferry Corsten  
Solarstone  
Gabriel & Dresden  
Aly & Fila  
Probably most of the artists on their label (Anjunabeats).
