Synth/Electronic LP recommendations

Synthfreek, you and I have a lot of musical taste in common. Thanks for the trivia about GC. I do a one-man synth act called Salubrious Invertebrae (myspace.com/salubriousinvertebrae)

An obvious band I forgot- the Orb.
Another essential LP is Mystical Experiences, by the Infinity Project, on the Blue Room label.

And- Bola.

I'm also a big fan of Porcupine Tree. Lots of electronic soundscapes there, especially in their early stuff.

Synthfreak, thanks for the dubstep pointer- i will be sure to check it out.
I second the global communications
Other key acts not mentioned on this thread- just to name few are - Autechre, aphex twin, orbital, plaid, photek, FSOL'S other moniker- amorphous androgynous, Mira calix, Colleen, Felix Laband, Don't forget Ladytron for the synth stuff, Goldfrapp, Komputer, underworld, squarepusher ( check out his last three offering- very jazzy, Air, Boards of Canada. Musiq, stars of the lid, Loscil (u will love these), (I will add more when I get more time)
The one not to miss also is the GAS (the founder of Germman label Kompact)
Also unique is PANSONIC
From newer artists, Venetian snares, 2562, ellen alian, Burial, bookashade, rod modell, box cutter, dominik euleberg, The flying lotus, Panth du prince, luciano, and the trentmoller..
It is not fair to name these all in one breath as their styles differ, but they all make some outstanding electronic music.

Nil I have almost everything on your list. Good stuff. you should track down the album by Yagya titled Will I Dream During The Process? if you're down with the Basic Channel, Gas & Modell sound. Super minimal but more melodic and ambient than BC. Pete Namlook is another favorite of mine. I have many to suggest by him for fans of Tangerine Dream, Schulze(who he's collaborated with many many times), Jarre, Ashra, Hillage, etc.

Looks like I have alot of LP searching/purchasing ahead of me :)

I'm going to try to work chronologically through some of the suggestions. I've located a CBS 1/2 speed version of Wendy Carlos' "Switched on Bach", so I'll be starting there.

Why O Why is the ultimate so often neglected? The great electronic composer of the 40's - 70's.

Luigi Nono, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Ligeti, Pierre Henry, Luc Ferarri, John Cage, Morton Subotnick, et al....
