Found this over at stevehoffman.tv (of all places!):
"Ishkur's Guide To Electronic Music"
This site decribes pretty much ALL types of music made with electronic instruments - I didn't know there were that many!
I can't imagine how much work it took to put this extremely detailed site together. The links at the left of the page turn into these branching info trees, ending with sometimes dozens of info bubbles, each with a detailed text description and multiple samples. I finally found out some very good info on a couple of of my more recent favorite genres of music - downtempo and acid jazz - came to be, and how they relate to other genres in their "family tree". And some of that house music is pretty cool, basically electronic-based funk.
