I have a personal affection for this band, and while their music is not electronc (typical band of drums, guitars, and vocals) I do find a lot of their songs speak to me both in sound and lyrics. For your reflection, some of the lyrics thay have (but I'll admit to not having heard all the songs, just the ones I own)

Almost Gold
You take me here from far
Up to the highest star
You took a part of me
No one else will ever see
And if I gave away
What I'm dying to say
I couldn't give you more than this
I was born and it was bliss
I have died for a thousand years
Tasted salt of a thousand tears
And your kiss was almost gold
You took me near you took me far,
Up to the highest brightest star
You're giving back the exchange,
We got something going on
And if I ever fell from grace
With every living human state
Well I throw the whole thing down
And I take to higher ground
Cast a spell on my surround
Time to think on what I found
This is almost gold
============================================
Darklands
i'm going to the darklands
to talk in rhyme
with my chaotic soul
as sure as life means nothing
and all things end in nothing
and heaven i think
is too close to hell
i want to move i want to go
i want to go
oh something won't let me
go to the place
where the darklands are
and i awake from dreams
to a scary world of screams
and heaven i think
is too close to hell
i want to move i want to go
i want to go
take me to the dark
oh god I get down on my knees
and i feel like i could die
by the river of disease
and i feel that i'm dying
and i'm dying
i'm down on my knees
oh i'm down
i want to go i want to stay
i want to stay
=========================================
Deep One Perfect Morning
deep one perfect morning
as the sun is heading up
into the sky
and i'm sitting here warming
to the coldness of the things
that meet my eye
something in me's stirring
and the moon and all the stars
fail to comply
and my thoughts are turning backwards
and i'm picking at the pieces
of a world that keeps turning
the screws into my mind
something in me's chilling
and nothing in me's willing
to focus my attention
on the sky
past the weakened eyes
that feel and scream
into your soul
better to paint my hate
on the walls
before the picture goes
and my thoughts are turning backwards
and i'm picking at the pieces
of a world that keeps turning
the screws in my mind
and i can see a wide world
for me to tame
=========================================
Head On *** One of my favorites
As soon as I get my head round you
I come around catching sparks off you
I get an electric charge from you
That second hand living it just won't do
And the way I feel tonight
I could die and I wouldn't mind
And there's something going on inside
Makes you want to feel makes you want to try
Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky
I can't stand up I can't cool down
I can't get my head off the ground
As soon as I get my head round you
I come around catching sparks off you
And all I ever got from you
Was all I ever took from you
And the world could die in pain
And I wouldn't feel no shame
And there's nothing holding me to blame
Makes you want to feel makes you want to try
Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky
I'm taking myself to the dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found
=========================================
Her Way Of Praying ** One of my favorites
Fall to her call on a Saturday night
She's got the hip dippin' trick
Of all time done right
She's got her lips sticking tight
To her find tonight
She's keeping time keeping time
With the mystery rhyme
And she's crazy to want me to taunt me
Deep on the scene she is waiting for me
Like a sin scraping skin
She is screaming for me
Hope in hope in the sky she is talking to me
She's keeping time keeping time
With the image of me
It's her way of saying a prayer for me
It's her way of talking to God for me
It's her way of talking to jesus christ
It's her way of talking to jesus
==============================================
Here Comes Alice
Here she comes walking down the street
She's got something you would love to meet
It's her heart and her heart is black
Think of ice cream sliding into a crack
The heat sticks to summer's heavy sweat
Hang around it'll get hotter yet
You got the shakes and it's gonne get worse
Don't you know it's all a part of the curse
She's got the hit that takes you into space
Suck mud and make a deal for that taste
You got nothing but you're riding on a star
You couldn't guess that she could take you that far
Some things are so hard to say
Even though you'd say them every day
Don't let your life be the butt of a joke
Get your lips round a cool black Pepsi Coke
Here she comes
=========================================
UV Ray
There's treasure in the pit of the hideous sin
Unpeel ice cool velvet skin
Junkies crash in a chemical kiss
T.V poison tastes like this
Broken down Jesus with the taste of trash
Ice cool hip swinger moves too fast
Tear stained nightmares in the cold light of day
Sick sick nightmares just won't go away
You gotta kick it while it's on
You gotta take it while it's going
You gotta walk before you run
You're getting fun fun fun
