Can't help you with the techno, but check these out:
Steps Ahead: NYC and Modern Times (excellent modern jazz rock, they avoid
the mindless noodling "fuzak" syndrome that Rippingtons, Dave Sanborn and
others do not)
Zawinul: Dialects, Lost Tribes, and aw hell, any Weather Report (what can I
say, my electronic jazz hero)
Gentle Giant: Free Hand, Octopus, Power and the Glory (the best progressive
rock ever)
Also, if you dig Hammond jazz:
Joey DeFrancesco: The Champ (tribute to Jimmy Smith - incredible chops)
Dave Bradley
Principal Software Engineer
