Thom Yorke and Burial

what else?

Totally underappreciated band called Schema, which was all 3 members of Hovercraft with Mary Hansen from Stereolab. In fact I'm pretty certain that the Schema LP was the last thing she recorded before she died.

bass communion

Butter 08, featuring Cibo Matto, Russell Simmins from the John Spencer Blues Explosion et all might be my favorite off the top of my head

John Frusciante.....

Always meant to get round to listening to his stuff but always forget. Though I can't stomach the RHCP I hear his solo stuff is worth checking out.

he is pretty inconsistent. Some tracks are really great, some are weird and some are just bad. On the other hand there is A LOT of material he put out. I think I will create a "best of" CD one day and just listen to this.

George Harrison's Moog albums come to mind, but that's more of a solo act I guess. Was on Apple Corp though...

To Record Only Water and the first Ataxia album are the best things I think.

Thanks for the tips.

Actually, Ataxia is a great example for this thread too - it's Frusciante, Joe Lally from Fugazi and another dude I'm not as familiar with. Here's one of my favorite cuts from their first record:
