Synth/Electronic LP recommendations

After picking up Kraftwerk's "Minimum-Maximum" and Gary Neuman's "Replicas" this past year, I'd like to get some other LP's of synth-based music. Any suggestions?

There's just something about the sound of analog synths - that warmth and presence....a very "fat" sound - and vinyl seems like a great medium to exploit that.

Also no mention of Depeche Mode (Vince Clarke) and his subsequent work Alison Moyet (Yaz). And Human League - classic stuff - especialy the 12" versions. Visage and Ultravox. Duran Duran's work (Nick Rhodes). And Jean Michel Jarre - perhaps the audiophile synth all time best - like Ultravox - put it on and turn out the lights....WOW, WOW and WOW!
