Early Electronic Music Thread - Electronic Music before Electronic Music became mainstream. (Tangerine Dream, Kluster, Kraftwerk, etc).
Michael Hoenig's Departure From The Northern Wasteland was hailed as one of the exemplars of "Berlin School" electronics. Hoenig did not follow up with more music of this style however, and instead went on to scoring for TV, films and eventually video games, including the original Baldur Gate and Baldur Gate II.
Among the early Japanese synthists, I'm not particularly keen on the sound of Logic System (Hideki Matsutake), but he is instrumental in bringing about the "City Pop" craze in Japan during the mid 80s and he remains active today.
Really interesting record! I got myself a copy when my grandma was clearing out her old record collection a couple years back.
I'm partial to early new wave/synth punk music, from before that genre really took off with MTV. A lot of it had this menacing industrial vibe that was lost as people figured out how to actually use the hardware. I still love the later stuff, but those records from the mid-late 70s occupy a space all their own IMO. Some notable examples:
The Human League - Being Boiled (yes, that Human League)
The Normal - Warm Leatherette
This one's amazing in its sheer simplicity. Literally one note but it's so incredibly evocative.
Tubeway Army - Are "Friends" Electric?
This is the platonic ideal of new wave. Best synth riff probably ever. Apparently it hit #1 in the UK, which is sort of crazy.
