Took them long enough.
| quote: | The Juno Awards have added a new category — Electronic Album of the Year — bringing the total number of awards handed out to 40, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of Canada’s national music awards.
The new category is defined as album-length original recordings composed with electronic equipment as the essential songwriting tools and defined by their electronic elements. Musical genres and respective subgenres such as (but not limited to) techno, house, electro, trance, drum’n’bass, dubstep, grime, electro-acoustic, turntablism, sample-based music, ambient and downtempo are eligible for this category.
Finally, Crystal Castles can realize their lifelong dream of winning a Juno!
“Over the past 40 years, CARAS has evolved and expanded to constantly reflect Canada’s musical landscape. This new category is more evidence of our ongoing commitment to recognize the depth of Canadian music and the innovation that our artists continue to put forth,” said Melanie Berry, President and CEO of CARAS, in a statement.
The 2011 Juno Awards take place in Toronto next March.

You'd be surprised how thin their description of an electronic music album probably is. Lady Gaga, for example.
