One path to explore is to start with interesting covers of Aphex Twin works:

- The Alarm Will Sound collective has an album called Acoustica where they made acoustic-instrument-based covers of Aphex Twin songs. https://www.alarmwillsound.com/

- The Bad Plus covered Aphex Twin's Flim on their These Are the Vistas album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeMre0Sp7o4

Both Alarm Will Sound and The Bad Plus are somewhat different, quite interesting directions to explore for other music you might enjoy programming to.

Gerald Donald's work (alias Dopplereffekt, Arpanet, Japanese Telecom, was part of Drexciya) works well for me for programming for years. Especially the Album "Inertial Frame" from Arpanet. Calabi Yau Space from Dopplereffekt as well (which was released on Aphex Twin's own label Rephlex)

For those in San Francisco: he will be playing at the MUTEK festival in May.

Thanks for reminding me about inertial frame

Aphex Twin (anonymously) put some previously unreleased material on SoundCloud a few years back that is from that era.

Another recommendation: Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest

BOC’s The Campfire Headphase changed my life.

Warp Records (record label that Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada are a part of) has built a really solid catalogue over the years

I agree now with BOC purists that it's not their best record, but "Dayvan Cowboy" came at such a tectonic moment of my life I wouldn't decisively argue it didn't start the earthquake.

Plaid is another cool artist on Warp Records.

Oh, yes, i forgot Plaid. I use to listen Plaid along with Amon Tobin back in early 2000's

Check out the artist Solar Fields

The Mirror's Edge soundtrack got me into Solar Fields, and it's remained in my programming rotation since it came out, along with that of Mirror's Edge: Catalyst.

Example from Catalyst - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fb5_zVk2gY&t=1h46m48s

Oh nice, just realized Solar Fields did both the Mirror's Edge games' soundtracks

I love Solar Fields.

Also: Global Communication, Ocouer, Christopher Willits, Marconi Union, Eluvium, Ólafur Arnalds, Balmorhea.

Can’t forget Keith Kenniffs’s projects, Helios and Goldmund.

Besides the recommendations already done I can recommend Field Rotation: https://fieldrotation.bandcamp.com/

Some favorites:

• https://fieldrotation.bandcamp.com/track/acoustic-tale-2

• https://fieldrotation.bandcamp.com/album/regenzeit

You should give a listen to the early Autechre or Speedy J. Or anything Warp put out in the 90s.

Worth to mention Boards of Canada and B12 from the Warp catalog as well. Warp has been my go-to music label since early 2000's.

LFO are also top draw stuff

Highly, highly, highly recommend Autechre's Incunabula, for people who are into Selected Ambient Works.

Yes, if you're listening to it just as background music, early Warp catalog would work.

You should check out: - Autechre - Square Pusher - Bonobo - Wisp - Brian Eno

In that order. All solid. If you want more you should checkout the Rephlex records current and previous artists list. All really solid ambient focused electronic music.

Wisp has done some nice remixes of Aphex Twin songs: http://wisp.kaen.org/audio/saw2reworked.zip

(via: http://www.wisp.kaen.org/ )

Bibio’s Phantom Brickworks do remind me a bit of stone in focus. I think Capel Celyn is an especially beautiful piece, evenmore so if accompanied by the music clip.

Try some albums of the following artists: Biosphere, Boards of Canada, Forest Swords, Kink Gong, Johann Johannsson, Park Jiha. Hope you enjoy it!
