Well done on the "who" count. Recommend the three best out of them and I'll seek and find. The last 6 months has been a musical drought.
I would but i cant be bothered as you'll only label them as shite or even better "NME Indie/Dance/Electro etc etc"
Incidentally, what are the key characteristics in "NME Electro"?

And it is of course worth pointing out, that these bands are at the very forefront of cultural significance, and not in any way irrelevant.

Not quite. However, they are all significantly better (and more relevant) than R.E.M., The Kaiser Chiefs and The Zutons.
