Your favorite examples of guitar used well in Electronic Music/Dance/IDM/Braindance

[Brisbot]

Beyond Come To Daddy and Windowlicker. It seems like an instrument that can work very well but there are many ways to make it sound awkward where more typical sounds may sound better.

Can be Acoustic/Electrical. Or a Bass guitar, anything as long as it's a guitar.

I've always been a fan of early Four Tet's use of instruments with electronics.

Patiently awaiting a sensible discussion without references to the big 4.

When they transform it. I hate the "guitar" sound now.

The guitars on the track kind of take place in the background at times, but it's an interesting use of an spanish guitar sample. Very catchy song too.

The guitar was sampled from an acoustic cover of Rhythm is a Dancer by Steven Cossar

BUt yeah hard to make it not sound cheesy

Good thread! I've always wondered why its so hard to mesh the two. The guitar often seems to kills the dynamics for some reason. It also has strong cultural connotations whereas I go to electronic music to do away with that. 

Portishead, Radiohead and Primal Scream could be strong contenders for being able to do is successfully, with electronic influences but more rooted in rock.
