Looking for uplifting, electronic music

I love the music from this video that I discovered on Metafilter. Any suggestions for artists that make similar sounding music?
On my phone so can't really do them justice but listen to this.

and many, many artists on the Thinner netlabel.
(the actual website seems slightly borked at the moment. I could have sworn it was working earlier, so maybe it's just a temporary glitch.)

I don't actually know what that music is, but I think you would love Ulrich Schnauss if you like that. He's done three albums, and a bunch of great remixes. He's heavily influenced by Slowdive and the shoegazery types but has translated that powerful guitar soundwash into propulsive electronica that's the very opposite of sparse.
Here's a small selection, starting with my favourite:
A Strangely Isolated Place; In All The Wrong Places which I think uses the same sampled click sound as the piece in the video; and Goodbye
And some remixes:
Love Movement (Schnauss remix) by Justin Robertson; Setting Sun (Schnauss remix) by Howling Bells ; and finally a wall-of-sound remix of the terrific Strawberries by Asobi Seksu.
[and if that's not for you, maybe a bit of Sigur Ros? Brian Eno's An Ending (Ascent was on every film trailer in the world for a while there. You could try early Orb: Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld is fantastic, and is the only thing in the world to sample Allegri and Rickie Lee Jones.
And if you like it very strange indeed, Boards of Canada are *wonderful*. Start with Dayvan Cowboy and then yourself run riot on YouTube]

Response by poster: I can't favourite everyone, so I'll just say thanks all! Every suggestion has been spot-on.
