Kraftwerk
Still brilliant after all these years. I grew up with them, just amazing.
Isao Tomita
Electronic music like I had never heard before, still listened to by me on a regular basis, absolutely beautiful sounding. The first LP I bought was Pictures at an Exhibition, still unsurpassed to this day.
Jean Michelle Jarre
Like Kraftwerk, one of the first and still one of the most original electro artists who's sounds defined an era.
Vangelis
Great synth music of the 70's and 80's, on par with all of the above.
Tangerine Dream
The Berlin school of music amazing sequencer lines and flowing sounds, another great German electronic band.
