Welcome to the list, Luis!  I myself have been in a big Wire phase of 
late, re-listening to _154_, and! picking up the new EP, _Read & 
Burn_, which is very energetic indeed, although not as mind-blowing 
in form or content as some of their classic material.  But I'll give 
them time--there's more to come this year.

Ubu's always a classic.  You have the Datapanik box set?  _St. 
Arkansas_, the new one, is on tap for May: 
http://www.projex.demon.co.uk/  US tour in September!

I'll admit to a historical fondness for John Foxx-era Ultravox, as 
those records were in the big stack of new wave and punk records that 
also contained _Adventure_, my first exposure to TV.  (Long story: my 
sister got the huge stack from someone who had converted to 
fundamentalist Christianity, and was giving his punk albums away.)  I 
happened to hear some of that original Ultravox stuff on 'net radio a 
while back, and--say what you will--I enjoyed it.  Whatever happened 
to Stevie Shears?  Anybody know?

NP: a bunch of lowercase electronica from the term. label.
