Smått och gott

Encyclopedia of Electronic Music listar många artister och grupper inom elektronisk music/dark ambient. Sverige är bl.a. representerat av Daniel Eideholms (även känd som Tolufim) projekt Heid och LEAK. Listan täcker dock inte egentlig EAM.

Vibrö är en tidskrift om EAM och ljudkonst. En samlings-cd hör till varje nummer. Sajten har artistbeskrivningar, intervjuer och många länkar, men tyvärr verkar den inte ha uppdaterats på ett tag.
