I need more music like THIS.

Consider the following albums as a single unit of awesomeness:

- Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
- David Bowie - Outside
- Muse - Absolution

I want more music with this kind of slant... I don't know what it is really. Dark and sultry and electronically assisted, but that doesn't really sum it up...
Anyone who knows these 3 discs as examples, and kinda sees the common thread I'm drawing betweeen them, want to suggest some music I should check out?
(not any albums by those same artists please, as I've heard them all. Also nothing already on favorite bands in my profile...)

Help me please?

Bowie - Heros, Lodger, Low (These albums make Outside look like a fart in a bag.)

Brian Eno - Here Come The Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain

also

Iggy Pop - The Idiot

and

Roxy Music's first two albums

Pigface, as well

Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle, that one's a shoe in.

also try:

Roxy Music - Avalon (later on, but kind of trippy and neat)

M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts (french guys writing the soundtrack to high speed interstellar travel)

Definitely Brian Eno.

Eno/Bowie connection has been made--
here are some other suggestions that would fit right in:
Angels of Light/Swans/Jarboe et al
Early Christian Death
Death In June
Tindersticks
Black Tape for a Blue Girl
Dead Can Dance
Skinny Puppy
et al

Ooh, M83, good call. I would also suggest Catherine Wheel.

Type O Negative, "Bllody Kisses" or "Life is Killing Me"

Tool, "AEnima"


Massive Attack, "Mezzanine"

Any album by Tricky, esp. Nearly God, Maxinquaye and Pre Millenium Tension
Morcheeba is great for this too, sultry electronica

i'll add my vote for Goldfrapp, The Faint, and TV on the Radio

jomi massage - aloud
speaker bite me - inner speed
speaker bite me - if love is missing it must be imposed
blonde redhead - melody of certain damaged lemons (or misery is a butterfly)
(m83 - dead cities...)

you probably won't be able to find the first three where you live, though.

Add Blonde Redhead to the list and you've got yourself a DATE.

black sabbath-paranoid
ozzy -no more tears
nirrvana- rever mind
blue oyster cult -extraterastral live
pink floyd- dark side, the wall, wish you were here, divsion bell
sammy hagar- the red collection
led zepplen -how the west was won
guns and roses- apatite for destruction, use your illiusions, guns and roses lies
velvet revlover-contraband

ummmm...i think you kinda missed the point.

If you want to go to the heavy side of things Leviathan by mastodon is awesome (not electronically assisted though!!)

All Joy Division albums (including the singles compiliation Substance), and the first few New Order albums (especially Power, Corruption, and Lies.)

That's pretty much the source for a lot of that sort of music.
